Making Working Memory Work: A Computational Model of Learning in the Prefrontal Cortex and Basal Ganglia
The prefrontal cortex has long been thought to subserve both working memory (the holding of information online for processing) and executive functions (deciding how to manipulat...
Activation of the prefrontal cortex in a nonspatial working memory task with functional MRI
Abstract Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the pattern of activity of the prefrontal cortex during performance of subjects in a nonspatial working...
Behavioral inhibition, sustained attention, and executive functions: Constructing a unifying theory of ADHD.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comprises a deficit in behavioral inhibition. A theoretical model is constructed that links inhibition to 4 executive neuropsycho...
The effects of divided attention on encoding and retrieval processes in human memory.
The authors examined the effects of divided attention (DA) at encoding and retrieval in free recall, cued recall, and recognition memory in 4 experiments. Lists of words or word...
Working memory and executive control
A major problem in analysing the executive processes that seem to depend upon the prefrontal cortex stems from the absence of a well developed cognitive model of such processes....
