The task-switching paradigm offers enormous possibilities to study cognitive control as well
as task interference. The current review provides an overview of recent research on both …

Many of the links of religiousness with health, well-being, and social behavior may be due to
religion's influences on self-control or self-regulation. Using Carver and Scheier's (1998) …

How do neural populations code for multiple, potentially conflicting tasks? Here we used
computational simulations involving neural networks to define" lazy" and" rich" coding …

Dynamical brain state transitions are critical for flexible working memory but the network
mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we show that working memory …

Chronic media multitasking is quickly becoming ubiquitous, although processing multiple
incoming streams of information is considered a challenge for human cognition. A series of …

The task-switching paradigm is being increasingly used as a tool for studying cognitive
control and task coordination. Different procedural variations have been developed. They …

When performing tasks, humans are thought to adopt task sets that configure moment-to-
moment data processing. Recently developed mixed blocked/event-related designs allow …

Although schizophrenia is an illness that has been historically characterized by the
presence of positive symptomatology, decades of research highlight the importance of …

Goal-directed action in changing environments requires a dynamic balance between
complementary control modes, which serve antagonistic adaptive functions (eg, to shield …

The concept of inhibition plays a major role in cognitive psychology. In the present article,
we review the evidence for the inhibition of task sets. In the first part, we critically discuss …
