This review presents an outline of executive function (EF) and its application to autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). The development of the EF construct, theoretical models of EF …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Nanowire networks (NWNs) mimic the brain's neurosynaptic connectivity and emergent
dynamics. Consequently, NWNs may also emulate the synaptic processes that enable …

functions, including working memory Page 166 8 Review of the Evidence on, and Fundamental …

The multicomponent model is assumed to form an important interface between a range of
cognitive processing systems including perception and both episodic and semantic long …

Cognitive deficits are now widely recognized to be an important component of anxiety. In
particular, anxiety is thought to restrict the capacity of working memory by competing with …

Executive function (EF) is essential for successfully navigating nearly all of our daily
activities. Of critical importance for clinical psychological science, EF impairments are …

The brain is an inherently dynamic system, and executive cognition requires dynamically
reconfiguring, highly evolving networks of brain regions that interact in complex and …

The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to
an all-positive pattern of correlations among diverse cognitive tests. The positive manifold is …

Our goal in this paper is to understand the extent to which, and under what conditions,
executive functions (EFs) play a role in reading comprehension processes. We begin with a …
