Rationalizing constraints on the capacity for cognitive control
S Musslick, JD Cohen - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2021 - cell.com
Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …

A mosaic of cost–benefit control over cortico-striatal circuitry
Dopamine contributes to cognitive control through well-established effects in both the
striatum and cortex. Although earlier work suggests that dopamine affects cognitive control …

Chemistry of the adaptive mind: lessons from dopamine
R Cools - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
The brain faces various computational tradeoffs, such as the stability-flexibility dilemma. The
major ascending neuromodulatory systems are well suited to dynamically regulate these …

The subjective value of cognitive effort is encoded by a domain-general valuation network
Cognitive control is necessary for goal-directed behavior, yet people treat cognitive control
demand as a cost, which discounts the value of rewards in a similar manner as other costs …

An integrative effort: Bridging motivational intensity theory and recent neurocomputational and neuronal models of effort and control allocation.
An increasing number of cognitive, neurobiological, and computational models have been
proposed in the last decade, seeking to explain how humans allocate physical or cognitive …

Error-correcting dynamics in visual working memory
Working memory is critical to cognition, decoupling behavior from the immediate world. Yet,
it is imperfect; internal noise introduces errors into memory representations. Such errors …

Both a gauge and a filter: Cognitive modulations of pupil size
RB Ebitz, T Moore - Frontiers in neurology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Over 50 years of research have established that cognitive processes influence pupil size.
This has led to the widespread use of pupil size as a peripheral measure of cortical …
