The capacity to briefly memorize fleeting sensory information supports visual search and
behavioral interactions with relevant stimuli in the environment. Traditionally, studies …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in humans and other primates is critical for immediate,
goal-directed behaviour and working memory, which are classically considered distinct from …

The role of the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) in working memory (WM) is debated. Non-
human primate (NHP) electrophysiology shows that the lPFC stores WM representations, but …

Categorization allows organisms to generalize existing knowledge to novel stimuli and to
discriminate between physically similar yet conceptually different stimuli. Humans …

ABSTRACT In her recent Opinion, Xu argues that visual cortex is non-essential for visual
working memory (WM) storage. In our response, we highlight some inconsistencies that …

Selective attention supports the prioritized processing of relevant sensory information to
facilitate goal-directed behavior. Studies in human subjects demonstrate that attentional …

Relational reasoning requires the reasoner to go beyond her/his specific experience,
abstracting from items to make inferences about categories and kinds on the basis of …

Working memory (WM) is an evolving concept. Our understanding of the neural functions
that support WM develops iteratively alongside the approaches used to study it, and both …

Categorization refers to the process of map** sensory inputs onto discrete concepts.
Humans and other animals can readily learn arbitrary categories defined by low-level visual …

The lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) is reliably active during working memory (WM) across
human and animal models, but the role of lPFC in successful WM is under debate. For …
