The Relationship Between Working Memory Capacity and Executive Functioning: Evidence for a Common Executive Attention Construct (2010, methodology): “…al., 2000), whereas others have administered several measures of EF (or frontal) tasks to create a single EF factor (Albert, Blacker, Moss, Tanzi, & McArdle, 2007; Ettenhofer, Hambrick, & Abeles, 2006; Glisky et al., 1995; Salthouse et al., 2003; Wilson, Alderman , Burgess, Emslie, & Evans, 1996).”
Individual differences in executive functions are almost entirely genetic in origin. (2008, background): “…the Common EF factor (with a small additional correlation with the Updating-specific factor) provides a new basis for interpreting recent reports that executive functions, particularly inhibitionrelated abilities, are related to processing speed (e.g., Hedden & Yoon, 2006; Salthouse et al., 2003).”
The Cognitive Reflection Test as a predictor of performance on heuristics-and-biases tasks (2011, methodology): “Recent work on the inhibitory and set-shifting properties of executive-functioning tasks makes this class of processes a potentially theoretically interesting correlate of performance on the CRT (Aron, 2008; Best, Miller, & Jones, 2009; Duncan et al., 2008; Friedman et al., 2007; Hasher, Lustig, & Z”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, methodology): “All measure algorithmic-level decoupling power, which is why they display a considerable degree of overlap with fluid intelligence (Kane and Engle, 2002; Salthouse et al., 2003).”
When does age-related cognitive decline begin? (2009, methodology): “The cognitive tests, and their reliabilities, are listed in the Supplementary materials and have been described in previous reports (Salthouse, 2004; Salthouse et al., 2003), as have results of confirmatory factor analyses establishing that the variables can be assumed to represent four distinct…”
Executive functions in decision making: An individual differences approach (2010, background): “A fixation point appeared on the screen 1000 ms before the stimulus presentation, and the stop signal was delivered between 400 and 600 ms after the target (see also Logan, 1994; Salthouse et al., 2003).”
Age-related Changes in Brain Activity across the Adult Lifespan (2006, background): “Some have reported a linear rate of change in memory scores from early adulthood into the 80s (Park et al., 2002), whereas others have found nonlinear changes ( Salthouse, Atkinson, & Berish, 2003 ).,Such a common factor has been advocated by Salthouse et al. (2003) and Salthouse and Ferrer-Caja (”
Decision-making Competence, Executive Functioning, and General Cognitive Abilities (2012, methodology): “…and have known psychometric properties, previous studies suggest that decision‐making performance may also rely on processing speed (Salthouse, 2005; Salthouse et al., 2003), crystallized intelligence (Bruine de Bruin et al., 2007; Finucane & Guillon, 2010), comprehension skills (e.g. Finucane &…”
The Elusive Nature of Executive Functions: A Review of our Current Understanding (2007, background): “…of executive functions will never be able to reach reliability, according to some authors (Burgess 1997; Denckla 1996 ) because they are designed to assess the ability to cope with new problems, and the problems cease to be novel after the first administration of the test (Salthouse et al. 2003).”
Goal-directed memory: the role of cognitive control in older adults' emotional memory. (2005, background): “After all, many studies have shown that older adults are worse than younger adults at tasks requiring cognitive control, such as inhibiting irrelevant information (Hedden & Gabrieli, 2004; M. K. Johnson & Raye, 2000; Prull, Gabrieli, & Bunge, 2000; Salthouse, Atkinson, & Berish, 2003; Zacks, Hashe”
Executive function and PTSD: disengaging from trauma. (2012, positive): “…to switch between two different tasks or strategies, and 6) planning, or the ability to develop and implement strategic behaviors to obtain a future goal (Smith and Jonides 1999; McCabe et al., 2010; Carlson et al., 2005; Salthouse et al., 2003; Miyake and Shah 1999; Repovs and Baddeley, 2006).”
