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 …

A theoretical framework for the study of adult cognitive plasticity.
Does plasticity contribute to adult cognitive development, and if so, in what ways? The
vague and overused concept of plasticity makes these controversial questions difficult to …

Human functional neuroimaging of brain changes associated with practice
The discovery that experience-driven changes in the human brain can occur from a neural to
a cortical level throughout the lifespan has stimulated a proliferation of research into how …

Conditions under which young children can hold two rules in mind and inhibit a prepotent response.
The day-night task requires saying" night" to a picture of the sun and" day" to a picture of the
moon. In this investigation of why young children fail at this task, systematic variations of the …

Neurophysiological measures of cognitive workload during human-computer interaction
Perhaps the most basic issue in the study of cognitive workload is the problem of how to
actually measure it. The electroencephalogram (EEG) continues to be the clinical method of …

Sensitivity of fNIRS to cognitive state and load
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging low-cost noninvasive
neuroimaging technique that measures cortical bloodflow. While fNIRS has gained interest …
