Background: Balance impairment causes frequent falls in older adults, and preventing falls
remains challenging. Dual-task (DT) training reduces falls by improving balance, but the …

New perspectives on executive functions propose a greater involvement of context. These
perspectives have implications for research in mathematical cognition. We tackle the …

Executive function plays a foundational role in everyday behaviors across the life span. The
theoretical understanding of executive-function development, however, is still a work in …

In this Monograph, we explored neurocognitive predictors of executive function (EF)
development in a cohort of children followed longitudinally from 30 to 54 months of age. We …

A key to understanding how the brain develops is to understand how learning can change
brain function. One index of learning that takes place in early childhood involves the …

Executive functions (EFs) are core cognitive abilities that enable self-control and flexibility.
EFs undergo transformational changes between 3 to 5 years of age; critically, individual …

Inhibitory control (IC) emerges in infancy, continues to develop throughout childhood and is
linked to later life outcomes such as school achievement, prosocial behavior, and …

Background Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by a preoccupation with an
imagined defect in one's appearance. In case of a slight physical anomaly, the person would …

An important aspect of executive functioning is the ability to flexibly switch between
behavioral rules. This study explored how considering the multidimensionality of objects …

Attentional set shifting is a core ingredient of cognition, allowing for fast adaptation to
changes in the environment. How this skill compares between humans and other primates is …
