Inhibition and the right inferior frontal cortex
It is controversial whether different cognitive functions can be mapped to discrete regions of
the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The localisationist tradition has associated one cognitive …

The integration of negative affect, pain and cognitive control in the cingulate cortex
It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

N‐back working memory paradigm: A meta‐analysis of normative functional neuroimaging studies
One of the most popular experimental paradigms for functional neuroimaging studies of
working memory has been the n‐back task, in which subjects are asked to monitor the …

Meta-analytic evidence for a superordinate cognitive control network subserving diverse executive functions
Classic cognitive theory conceptualizes executive functions as involving multiple specific
domains, including initiation, inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, and vigilance …

Development of cognitive control and executive functions from 4 to 13 years: Evidence from manipulations of memory, inhibition, and task switching
Predictions concerning development, interrelations, and possible independence of working
memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility were tested in 325 participants (roughly 30 per …

The role of prefrontal cortex in working-memory capacity, executive attention, and general fluid intelligence: An individual-differences perspective
We provide an “executive-attention” framework for organizing the cognitive neuroscience
research on the constructs of working-memory capacity (WMC), general fluid intelligence …

Common regions of the human frontal lobe recruited by diverse cognitive demands
Though many neuroscientific methods have been brought to bear in the search for functional
specializations within prefrontal cortex, little consensus has emerged. To assess the …

The multiple-demand (MD) system of the primate brain: mental programs for intelligent behaviour
J Duncan - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2010 - cell.com
A common or multiple-demand (MD) pattern of frontal and parietal activity is associated with
diverse cognitive demands, and with standard tests of fluid intelligence. In intelligent …

Control and interference in task switching—A review.
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 …

The architecture of cognitive control in the human prefrontal cortex
E Koechlin, C Ody, F Kouneiher - Science, 2003 - science.org
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control: the ability to coordinate thoughts or
actions in relation with internal goals. Its functional architecture, however, remains poorly …
