Cognitive abilities rise steeply from infancy to young adulthood and then are either
maintained or decline to old age, depending on the specific ability. This pattern suggests …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long promised to increase healthcare affordability, quality and
accessibility but FDA, until recently, had never authorized an autonomous AI diagnostic …

Two studies are reported comparing the performance of monolingual and bilingual children
on tasks requiring different levels of working memory. In the first study, 56 5-year-olds …

Prior work has identified cortical regions selectively responsive to specific categories of
visual stimuli. However, this hypothesis-driven work cannot reveal how prominent these …

The present paper summarizes research showing that bilingualism affects linguistic and
cognitive performance across the lifespan. The effect on linguistic performance is generally …

The cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying category-specific knowledge remain
controversial. Here we report that, across multiple tasks (viewing, delayed match to sample …

This book presents a unique synthesis of the current neuroscience of cognition by one of the
world's authorities in the field. The guiding principle to this synthesis is the tenet that the …

Is face perception carried out by modules specialized only for processing faces? Or are
faces perceived by domain-general mechanisms that can also operate on non-face stimuli …

Brain imaging and electrophysiological recording studies in humans have reported discrete
cortical regions in posterior ventral temporal cortex that respond preferentially to faces …
