Cognitive control is the process by which goals or plans influence behaviour. Also called executive control, this process can inhibit automatic responses and influence working memory. Cognitive control supports flexible, adaptive responses and complex goal-directed thought. Some disorders, such as schizophrenia and ADHD, are associated with impairments of executive function. Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Cognitive Control. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
Many firms have experienced high-impact supply chain disruptions events such as China–United States trade war, Suez Canal blockage, and COVID-19 pandemic, driving them to seek more effective tools to enhance supply chain resilience. Control tower, a...
Trichotillomania (TTM) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) share negative affect and emotional dysregulation but differ in intentionality, motivation, and phenomenology, and their classification remains debated. Comparative neurocognitive evidence...
Cognitive reappraisal refers to changing how one thinks about a situation to alter its emotional impact. It is central to well-being 1 and engages prefrontal regulatory circuits 2 , prompting the assumption that their activity reflects a person’s...
Adaptation to cognitive conflict has been demonstrated in the form of reduced congruency effects following runs of high conflict (incongruent) trials, and increased effects following runs of low conflict (congruent) trials, known as the progressive...
Task switching is a well-established paradigm for assessing cognitive flexibility. However, the precise role of inhibition in task switching remains unclear. This study investigates the effects of inhibition on switch costs in tasks requiring...
Interruptions during visual search tasks significantly impair search performance, leading to prolonged reaction time (RT) and reduced accuracy. The interruption’s complexity has been proposed as one important factor that might modulate this decline...
In the context of globalization, language anxiety has become a common obstacle for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in cross-cultural communication. Centered on multimodal communicative strategy selection under anxiety, this study...
Background Facilitating opportunities for patients to express choice within psychological treatment has been encouraged as a means of improving adherence to cognitive behavioral therapy. However, the comparative benefits of choice to a lack thereof...
Advances in telerobotic platforms promise to transform human-robot interaction, yet identifying effective control interfaces for operating robotic manipulators onboard telerobots with the goal of increasing tangible interaction capabilities remains...
Bilingual language control is thought to draw on domain-general cognitive control, yet it remains unclear whether cross-task overlap in neural recruitment is accompanied by similar brain–behavior relationships. Previous connectivity studies have...
The lack of theoretical and empirical coherence makes it difficult to ascertain how cognitive load, induced by a cognitive secondary activity, impacts the driving performance of non-expert and expert drivers. Even less is known about strategies that...
The mechanisms by which humans arbitrate between reinforcement-learning strategies remain poorly understood, and the nature of these strategies has come under recent debate. Using a modified two-step decision task in two independent samples (N= 452...
Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a frequent and distressing complication in women undergoing active treatment for breast cancer. Although cognitive training has shown promise as a non-pharmacological strategy, evidence on ecologically...
Memory in immersive virtual reality (VR) may depend on the encoding context and on users’ control over virtual exploration. We examined memory for a single immersive episode in 234 young adults using a 2 × 3 between-subjects design crossing...
In everyday life, people often search for items, such as a pen on a cluttered desk. To perform a visual search task, top-down control guides attention towards goal-related target objects. The modal theoretical view of top-down control in the field...
Background Threat-related attention bias is an established correlate of anxiety disorders. Gaze-Contingent Music Reward Therapy (GCMRT), an eye-tracking based treatment, involves a music-based positive reinforcement training regimen of eye-gaze...
As pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) options expand, providers play a critical role in supporting clients to select the method that best meets their needs. We examined how client–provider interactions during PrEP choice counselling influenced women’s...
Effects of proactive control on response inhibition have previously been studied using tasks such as the stop signal task in which participants are required to inhibit a single, isolated motor response. However, skilled, coordinated behavior often...
Cognitive control is characterized by severe capacity limitations, yet it remains unclear whether performance constraints across different cognitive control processes reflect independent limitations or shared capacity-related constraints. To...
Death anxiety has been associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), yet the cognitive and contextual correlates of this association under ongoing security-related threat remain insufficiently understood. This study examined whether adaptive...
