Ability in various cognitive domains is often assessed by measuring task performance, such
as the accuracy of a perceptual categorization. A similar analysis can be applied to …

This article reviews research using the Deese/Roediger—McDermott (DRM) associative
memory illusion, whereby people falsely remember words that were not presented. This …

Two functionally distinct, and potentially competing, brain networks have been recently
identified that can be broadly distinguished by their contrasting roles in attention to the …

Humans have the capacity to evaluate the success of cognitive processes, known as
metacognition. Convergent evidence supports a role for anterior prefrontal cortex in …

Combining meaning, memory, and development, the perennially popular topic of intuition
can be approached in a new way. Fuzzy-trace theory integrates these topics by …

The contribution of the parietal cortex to episodic memory is a fascinating scientific puzzle.
On the one hand, parietal lesions do not normally yield severe episodic-memory deficits; on …

Focusing primarily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this article reviews
evidence regarding the roles of subregions of the medial temporal lobes, prefrontal cortex …

Convergent evidence indicates that frontopolar Brodmann area 10, and more generally the
anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC), supports the human capacity to monitor and reflect on …

Neuroscience has made considerable progress in understanding the neural substrates
supporting cognitive performance in a number of domains, including memory, perception …

Although ventral parietal cortex (VPC) activations can be found in a variety of cognitive
domains, these activations have been typically attributed to cognitive operations specific to …
