Time of day effects on problem solving: When the non-optimal is optimal (2011, background): “This inhibitory function has been shown to be particularly affected by time of day (for a review, see Hasher et al., 2007). For unfamiliar and less practised tasks that require careful and deliberate processing synchrony effects (poorer performance during a non-optimal compared to optimal time of da”
Storage capacity explains fluid intelligence but executive control does not (2012, background): “The inhibition theory (see Hasher et al., 2007) suggests that such a motor inhibition may often be depleted, for example during individually varied non-optimal time of day.”
Span, CRUNCH, and Beyond: Working Memory Capacity and the Aging Brain (2010, background): “There is in fact substantial evidence that older adults may have problems controlling attention and be more distractible than younger adults (Hasher et al., 2008; Hasher & Zacks, 1988).”
The Adaptive Brain: Aging and Neurocognitive Scaffolding (2009, background): “Indeed, working memory, which encompasses both the short-term maintenance and active manipulative processing of information, ﬁgures prominently in a third view of cognitive cognitive control processes, namely inhibitory function (Hasher & Zacks 1988, Hasher et al. 2007).”
The Cognitive Reflection Test as a predictor of performance on heuristics-and-biases tasks (2011, background): “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, & ”
Moving toward a neuroplasticity view of bilingualism, executive control, and aging (2014, background): “…Schneider, Pichora-Fuller, Kowalchuk, & Lamb, 1994; Schneider, Speranza, & Pichora-Fuller, 1998), and reductions in working memory and other executive control functions, such as inhibition (Burke, 1997; Darowski et al., 2008; Hasher et al., 2007; Hedden & Gabrieli, 2004; Salthouse & Meinz, 1995).”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, background): “Hasher et al.(2007) concur with this view when they conclude that 'our evidence raises the possibility that what most working memory span tasks measure is inhibitory control, not something like the size of operating capacity' (p.231).”
Defining features versus incidental correlates of Type 1 and Type 2 processing (2012, background): “Hasher et al. (2007) summarize this view with their conclusion ‘‘our evidence raises the possibility that what most working memory span tasks measure is inhibitory control, not something like the size of operating capacity’’ (p.”
