The addicted human brain viewed in the light of imaging studies: brain circuits and treatment strategies. (2004, background): “Frontal abnormalities in drug-addicted subjects also are manifested in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is expected to affect processes involved in executive control (Royall et al., 2002).”
Decision-making Competence, Executive Functioning, and General Cognitive Abilities (2012, background): “In this paper, we focus on executive functions—control processes involved in the regulation of cognition (Miyake et al., 2000; Rabbitt, 1997; Royall et al., 2002; Salthouse, 2005).”
Are women better than men at multi-tasking? (2013, neutral): “Cognitive scientists and psychiatrists have postulated a special set of cognitive functions that help with the coordination ofmultiple thought processes, which include the skills necessary for multi-tasking, namely “executive functions” (Royall et al. 2002): task planning, postponing tasks depending”
Executive functions in decision making: An individual differences approach (2010, background): “The expression ‘‘executive functioning’’ has seen a variety of interpretations, and the construct validity of most neuropsychological tests of executive functioning, such as the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is not well established (Miyake et al., 2000; Royall et al., 2002; Salthouse, 2005).”
Neuropsychological measures of executive function and antisocial behavior: A meta-analysis (2011, background): “MEASUREMENT OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTION There is no ‘gold standard’ of EF measurement against which to compare measures of the construct (Royall et al. 2002).”
The Elusive Nature of Executive Functions: A Review of our Current Understanding (2007, background): “…be an impossible goal since the frontal lobe and its many subcortical connections perform a variety of activities; a problem of the specificity of such tests will appear as both posterior and subcortical lesions can produce frontal test impairments due to extensive connections (Royall et al. 2002).”
Executive function and theory of mind (2008, neutral): “EF consists of higher-order cognitive processes (Carlson, Mandell, & Williams, 2004) that encompass processes involved in goal-oriented behavior, such as planning and sequencing (Royall et al., 2002).”
Executive function and PTSD: disengaging from trauma. (2012, neutral): “For the purposes of this manuscript, wewill focus on concepts that have been considered throughout the literature to be involved in maintaining successful “executive function”, or the control of complex goal-directed behavior (Royall et al., 2002; Alvarez and Emory, 2006; McCabe et al., 2010).”
Advancing translational research with the Semantic Web (2007, background): “Increasingly, researchers recognize that Ad, PD, and HD share various features at the clinical [13], neural [14-17], cellular [18-20], and molecular levels [21,22].”
