Here, we update our 1990 Annual Review of Neuroscience article,“The Attention System of
the Human Brain.” The framework presented in the original article has helped to integrate …

Individual differences in cognitive paradigms are increasingly employed to relate cognition
to brain structure, chemistry, and function. However, such efforts are often unfruitful, even …

Three studies compared bilinguals to monolinguals on 15 indicators of executive processing
(EP). Most of the indicators compare a neutral or congruent baseline to a condition that …

There is considerable interest in the structural and functional properties of the angular gyrus
(AG). Located in the posterior part of the inferior parietal lobule, the AG has been shown in …

Classic cognitive theory conceptualizes executive functions as involving multiple specific
domains, including initiation, inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, and vigilance …

Although there is evidence that young children's inhibitory control (IC) is related to their
academic skills, the nature of this relation and the role of potential moderators of it are not …

It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

Executive functions (EFs) make possible mentally playing with ideas; taking the time to think
before acting; meeting novel, unanticipated challenges; resisting temptations; and staying …

Monitoring and controlling 2 language systems is fundamental to language use in bilinguals.
Here, we reveal in a combined functional (event-related functional magnetic resonance …
