Highlights•Transient pupil dilation is evoked by the presentation of visual or auditory
stimuli.•The evoked pupil responses are systematically modulated by stimulus …

The anti-saccade task has emerged as an important task for investigating the flexible control
that we have over behaviour. In this task, participants must suppress the reflexive urge to …

Neuroimaging studies suggest that developmental improvements in inhibitory control are
primarily supported by changes in prefrontal executive function. However, studies are …

Intelligent agents balance speed of responding with accuracy of deciding. Stochastic
accumulator models commonly explain this speed-accuracy tradeoff by strategic adjustment …

Planning and executing volitional actions in the face of conflicting habitual responses is a
critical aspect of human behavior. At the core of the interplay between these 2 control …

Cognitive and brain maturational changes continue throughout late childhood and
adolescence. During this time, increasing cognitive control over behavior enhances the …

Adolescence marks the beginning of adult‐level cognitive control of behavior supported by
the brain maturation processes of synaptic pruning and myelination. Cognitive development …

Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in response to complex, ever-changing environments
requires both cortical and subcortical regions, which are typically described as participating …

This paper updates the author's earlier hypothesis that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) reflects underactivity in Gray's Behavioral Inhibition System. Five areas of …

Diversity in behavioral responses to sensory stimuli has been attributed to variations in
preparatory set. Variability in oculomotor responses toward identical visual stimuli has been …
