The present article on executive control addresses the issue of the locus of the Stroop effect
by examining neurophysiological components marking conflict monitoring, interference …

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 …

Early-life stress (ES) has been associated with diverse forms of psychopathology. Some
investigators suggest that these associations reflect the effects of stress on the neural circuits …

The Attentional Control Scale (ACS; Derryberry & Reed, 2002) has been used to assess
executive control over attention in numerous studies, but no published data have examined …

We investigated the neural correlates of cognitive effort/pre-target preparation (Contingent
Negative Variation activity; CNV) in anxiety using a mixed antisaccade task that manipulated …

The antisaccade task is a classic task of oculomotor control that requires participants to
inhibit a saccade to a target and instead make a voluntary saccade to the mirror opposite …

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

Whether bilingualism enhances executive control (EC) is controversial. This article reviews
24 studies on the bilingual EC effect using event-related potentials (ERPs). It evaluates the …

Flexible control of behavior depends on the representation, maintenance, and updating of
context information in working memory, which is thought to rely on the prefrontal cortex …

The present study pursues findings from earlier behavioral research with children showing
the superior ability of bilinguals to make grammaticality judgments in the context of …
