The Adaptive Brain: Aging and Neurocognitive Scaffolding (2009, background): “The effortful-automatic dove-tails nicely with other recent ideas about cognitive (Braver & Barch 2002).”
Higher-order factors of the Big Five in a multi-informant sample. (2006, background): “…& Depue, 2001) and that Plasticity reflects individual differences in the functioning of the dopaminergic system, which governs exploratory behavior and cognitive flexibility (Ashby, Isen, & Turken, 1999; Braver & Barch, 2002; Depue & Collins, 1999; Panksepp, 1998; Peterson, Smith, & Carson, 2002).”
Retest effects in cognitive ability tests: A meta-analysis (2018, background): “Braver and Barch (2002) found an age-related decrease in the ability to represent, maintain and update context information in healthy adults.”
Cognitive Control Predicts Use of Model-based Reinforcement Learning (2014, background): “In the Stroop task, cognitive control facilitates biasing of attentional allocation — strengthening attention to the task relevant feature and/or inhibiting task-irrelevant features — which in turn permits the overriding of inappropriate, prepotent responses (Braver & Barch, 2002).”
Age Differences in Deactivation: A Link to Cognitive Control? (2007, background): “Together, these possibilities suggest a potential relationship between age reductions in deactivation magnitude and age-related declines in cognitive control (e.g., Braver & Barch, 2002).”
Personality Neuroscience and the Biology of Traits (2010, background): “The role of dopamine in exploratory behavior and cognitive function is wellestablished (Ashby, Isen, & Turken, 1999; Braver & Barch, 2002; Depue & Collins, 1999; Panksepp, 1998), and a growing body of evidence directly implicates dopaminergic function in Extraversion (Depue & Collins, 1999; Wacker,…”
Aging and motivated cognition: the positivity effect in attention and memory. (2005, background): “Although cognitive control declines with age [4,5], there are signiﬁcant individual differences in the degree of decline [51].”
Insights into the ageing mind: a view from cognitive neuroscience (2004, background): “In keeping with this possibility, recent computational models have found that age-related cognitive deficits can be accounted for by changes in a gain parameter modelled after declines in dopamine levels in PF”
Control mechanisms in bilingual language production: Neural evidence from language switching studies (2008, background): “Factors that limit inhibitory control such as depletion of dopamine supplied to the prefrontal cortex that occurs in normal ageing (see, for example, Braver & Barch, 2002) should lead to problems of language control in the elderly.”
Dopamine, Affordance and Active Inference (2012, background): “Dopamine has been implicated in a bewildering variety of processes and pathologies in the human brain; ranging from cortical excitability to attentional deficits [5], [6]; from motor control to akinesia and set switching deficits in Parkinson’s disease [7], [8], [9]; from working memory to schizophr”
Executive Functions after Age 5: Changes and Correlates (2009, background): “In contrast, others have argued that working memory (WM) and inhibition are practically inseparable constructs that comprise the core of EF (e.g., Bell, Wolfe, & Adkins, 2007; Braver & Barch, 2002; Davidson, Amso, Anderson, & Diamond, 2006; Roberts & Pennington, 1996).”
Dynamic internal states shape memory retrieval. (2019, unknown): “…raise the possibility that effective recruitment of the prefrontal cortex — which declines with healthy aging (Whelihan and Lesher, 1985; West, 1996; Braver and Barch, 2002) — is important for reducing distraction during memory retrieval by focusing attention on goal-relevant information and…”
