The task-switching paradigm is a valid tool to measure age-related changes in executive
functions. It allows identifying the most vulnerable cognitive control processes affected by …

The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the integration of perception and action are
an important topic in cognitive neuroscience. Yet, connections between neurophysiology …

The processing of sensory information and the generation of motor commands needed to
produce coordinated actions can interfere with ongoing cognitive tasks. Even simple motor …

There is a demand for ways to enhance cognitive flexibility, as it can be a limiting factor for
performance in daily life. Video game training has been linked to advantages in cognitive …

Previous studies have demonstrated that inhibitory control ability could be improved by
training, and the Inhibitory Control (IC) Model implies that enhanced domain-general …

In this study we examined the relevance of the functional brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism as a modulator of task-switching performance in healthy …

Cognitive control functions decline with increasing age. The present study examines if
different types of group-based and trainer-guided training effectively enhance performance …

Background Music training involves several cognitive functions in the brain, particularly
executive function. Numerous studies have proven a link between the two. Cognitive …

Flexible response adaptation and the control of conflicting information play a pivotal role in
daily life. Yet, little is known about the neuronal mechanisms mediating parallel control of …

Task switching processes reflect a faculty of cognitive flexibility. The underlying neural
mechanisms and functional cortical networks have frequently been investigated using …
