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 …

Recent research has taken advantage of the temporal and spatial resolution of event-related
brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the …

Despite an impressive psycholinguistic effort to explore the way in which two or more
languages are represented and controlled, controversy surrounds both issues. We argue …

Abstract Language selection (or control) refers to the cognitive mechanism that controls
which language to use at a given moment and context. It allows bilinguals to selectively …

Cognitive deficits are very common in Parkinson's disease particularly for 'executive
functions' associated with frontal cortico-striatal networks. Previous work has identified …

Children with neurological disorders may follow unique developmental trajectories whereby
they undergo compensatory neuroplastic changes in brain structure and function that help …

We investigated ERP and fMRI correlates of anticipatory preparation and response inhibition
in a cued task-switching paradigm with informatively cued, non-informatively cued and no …

In this study, we sought to dissociate event-related potentials (ERPs) and the oscillatory
activity associated with signals indicating feedback about performance (outcome-based …

Task-switching paradigms produce a highly consistent age-related increase in mixing cost
[longer response time (RT) on repeat trials in mixed-task than single-task blocks] but a less …

Event-based prospective memory (PM) requires remembering the delayed execution of an
intended action in response to a pre-specified PM cue while being actively engaged in an …
