Hard evidence on soft skills (2012, background): “4 Many call this “IQ”, e.g., Flynn (2007), Nisbett (2009), and Nisbett et al. (2012). achievement tests, and grades are positively correlated with each other, the recent literature shows that they measure different skills and depend on different facets of cognitive ability.”
Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion (2012, neutral): “This same logic applies to studies of intertemporal choice and delay of gratification 158 where imaging 159, 160 and TMS 161 studies suggest that lateral PFC control systems can be used to effortfully represent the value of a larger delayed reward and guide selection of it over a smaller but immedia”
FROM REINFORCEMENT LEARNING MODELS OF THE BASAL GANGLIA TO THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PSYCHIATRIC AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS (2011, background): “Conversely, PFC dysfunction need not only cause executive dysfunction: the lateral PFC appears to be involved in the ability to choose delayed reward”
Episodic future thinking reduces reward delay discounting through an enhancement of prefrontal-mediotemporal interactions. (2010, methodology): “…value effects between conditions, whereas the ''d-areas'' from the b-d model (McClure et al., 2004, 2007) and the self-control areas in lateral PFC (Figner et al., 2010; Hare et al., 2009) have been identified using categorical fMRI analyses or behavioral data from transcranial magnetic…”
The expected value of control: An integrative theory of anterior cingulate cortex function (2013, positive): “, choices for longer term over immediate reward) rely on neural mechanisms associated with cognitive control (Figner et al., 2010; McClure et al., 2007; McClure et al., 2004), including the dACC.”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “Neuroeconomic studies have frequently observed lateral PFC recruitment during value-based decision making, particularly during the selection of future over immediate rewards (Diekhof & Gruber, 2010; Essex, Clinton, Wonderley, & Zald, 2012; Figner et al., 2010; Hare et al., 2009; Jimura, Chushak, & B”
Modeling the interplay between affect and deliberation. (2015, background): “Figner et al. (2010) also found that experimentally disrupting prefrontal areas associated with deliberation (particularly the lateral prefrontal cortex) led to an increased choice of immediate rewards over delayed rewards.”
