Working memory capacity and dual mechanisms of cognitive control: An experimental-correlational approach
Working memory capacity and dual mechanisms of cognitive control: An experimental-correlational approach
Working memory is thought to be strongly related to cognitive control. Recent studies have sought to understand this relat...
High bladder pressure reduces the ability to filter out interference from distractors in low perceptual load condition
High bladder pressure reduces the ability to filter out interference from distractors in low perceptual load condition
According to the load theory of attention, an active cognitive control mechanism is needed to ensure that behaviour is con...

A meta-analysis of the effects of episodic future thinking on delay discounting
A meta-analysis of the effects of episodic future thinking on delay discounting
Delay discounting (DD) refers to the phenomenon in which the subjective value of future rewards is reduced over time. Ther...
