Predictions concerning development, interrelations, and possible independence of working
memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility were tested in 325 participants (roughly 30 per …

Early adversity, for example poor caregiving, can have profound effects on emotional
development. Orphanage rearing, even in the best circumstances, lies outside of the bounds of a …

Recent imaging studies have suggested that developmental changes may parallel aspects
of adult learning in cortical activation becoming less diffuse and more focal over time. …

BACKGROUND: Cognitive control, defined as the ability to suppress inappropriate thoughts
and actions, is compromised in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study …

In this longitudinal study, the proportion of time preschoolers directed their attention away
from rewarding stimuli during a delay-of-gratification task was positively associated with …

Many studies have linked activity in a frontostriatal network with the capacity to suppress
inappropriate thoughts and actions, but relatively few have examined the role of connectivity …

BACKGROUND: Emotional information can facilitate or interfere with cognitive processes. In
this study, we examined the influence of emotional information in biasing performance and …

Objective: Many studies have linked the structure and function of frontostriatal circuitry to
cognitive control deficits in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Few studies have …

Existing evidence suggests that the organization of cognitive functions may differentiate
during development. We investigated two key components of executive functions, memory …

The conflict-monitoring hypothesis posits that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) monitors conflict
in information processing and recruits dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to resolve …
