A modeling framework for adaptive lifelong learning with transfer and savings through gating in the prefrontal cortex (2020, methodology): “Many forms of prefrontal gating have been proposed in the literature to date, including gating of sensory information (22–24), gating mechanisms to support working memory (25), and gating of”
Trait and State Differences in Working Memory Capacity (2010, background): “…ganglia (BG) have been identified as the most important brain structures for functioning of the executive attention component of WM (Kane & Engle, 2002; Miller, 2000; Shallice & Burgess, 1993; Bush et a!., 1998; Smith & Jonides, 1998; 1999; McNab & Klingberg, 2008; but see Reitan & Wolfson, 1994).”
The image of time: A voxel-wise meta-analysis (2010, background): “The left basal ganglia have been previously implicated in working memory function (McNab and Klingberg, 2008), suggesting the activation likelihood in the left basal ganglia may be related to the temporal demands on workingmemory.”
Attentional Mechanisms of Distractor Suppression (2014, background): “For example, there is substantial evidence that prefrontal regions, particularly in the inferior and middle frontal gyri, interact with structures of the basal ganglia in situations of motor and cognitive inhibitory control (Aron, 2011; McNab & Klingberg, 2008).”
Mechanism for top-down control of working memory capacity (2009, methodology): “There have been two explanations for interindividual differences in vsWM capacity: that it either results from differences in passive storage capacity (12) or that people differ in how efficiently they use this storage capacity for storing only behaviorally relevant items (14).”
Task-free MRI Predicts Individual Differences in Brain Activity During Task Performance (2016, neutral): “EMOTION Valance judgments (faces), shape recognition [1] FACES [2] SHAPES [3] FACES-SHAPES”
Subcortical structures and cognition (2009, background): “For example, McNab and Klingberg (2008) specifically linked the”
Does working memory training generalize (2010, result): “The authors (Dahlin et al., 2008a) interpret these results as indicative of the striatum’s role in updating the contents of WM (Awh & Vogel, 2008; McNab & Klingberg, 2008; Monchi, Ko, & Strafella, 2006), a process which is ostensibly less relevant in Stroop performance.”
