Generalization Through the Recurrent Interaction of Episodic Memories (2012, background): “…in mediating selective attention and cognitive control, through an influence on local excitatory and inhibitory processes in lower level brain regions, which allows relevant target representations to dominate over competing alternatives (Desimone, 1998; Duncan, 2001; Miller & Cohen, 2001).”
Orthogonal representations for robust context-dependent task performance in brains and neural networks (2022, positive): “…is wholly or partially filtered out in ways that minimize interference between tasks (Cohen et al., 1990; Miller and Cohen, 2001), consistent with accounts emphasizing that neural codes are sculpted by task demands (Duncan, 2001) or through attention to scenes and objects (Çukur et al., 2013).”
Organisation of executive functions: Hemispheric asymmetries (2012, background): “Among the integrative views, the adaptive coding model (Duncan, 2001; Duncan & Owen, 2000) proposes that neurons in a distributed network of prefrontal regions show high flexibility in coding task-relevant information under different task demands.”
Prefrontal and medial temporal lobe interactions in long-term memory (2003, background): “According to this latter view, the apparent regional specialization reported by primate and human studies could reflect relative rather than absolute difference”
The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “The brain, however, appears to be designed in such a way that particular regions are concurrently involved in numerous cognitive functions (Duncan 2001; McIntosh Figure 1 (Naghavi).”
Event files: feature binding in and across perception and action. (2004, neutral): “Given the numerous hints to the presence of all three mechanisms in the primate brain [ 43 ,50,51] it is likely that they serve different and”
Dynamics of language reorganization after stroke. (2006, background): “Finally, in the third stage, with continuously improving language performance language function increasingly engages classic language-specific perisylvian areas of the left hemisphere, resulting in a lower requirement for control from these frontal systems (Duncan, 2001).”
An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance (2013, neutral): “Duncan (2001) argues that such “adaptive coding” in response to task demands is a special characteristic of the prefrontal cortex.”
