Dissociating interference-control processes between memory and response.

30 Aug 2009 The ability to mitigate interference is of central importance to cognition. Previous research has provided conflicting accounts about whether operations that resolve interference are singular in character or form a family of functions. Here, the ... Read more...

Proactive inhibitory control and attractor dynamics in countermanding action: a spiking neural circuit model.

13 Jul 2009 Flexible behavior depends on the brain's ability to suppress a habitual response or to cancel a planned movement whenever needed. Such inhibitory control has been studied using the countermanding paradigm in which subjects are required to withhold ... Read more...

Learned predictiveness effects in humans: a function of learning, performance, or both?

29 Jun 2009 Many previous studies of animal and human learning indicate a processing advantage for cues previously experienced as good predictors of outcomes over those experienced as poorer predictors. Four studies of human associative learning investigated ... Read more...
