Does Mind Wandering Reflect Executive Function or Executive Failure? Comment on and (2010, background): “The proactive and reactive components of executive control are associated with PFC and ACC, respectively, based on sustained neural activity in response to initial task demands (proactive initiation) and on more punctuated activity in response to immediate conflict within the task (reactive initiati”
Dual mechanisms of cognitive control in bilinguals and monolinguals (2013, background): “By using the AX-CPT paradigm, Braver and others have examined individual differences in the use of proactive and reactive control in a variety of groups such as older adults, children, and patients with schizophrenia (Barch et al., 2001; Braver et al., 2001; Chatham, Frank, & Munakata, 2009).”
How do emotion and motivation direct executive control? (2009, background): “The proposed framework of how emotion and motivation interact with executive functions draws upon several ideas in the literature, including biased competition [4] and resource theory [6,7,30,57] – see also Braver et al. [ 58 ] and Robbins et al. [59] for complementary proposals.”
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Flexible Modulation of Cognitive Control in Preadolescent Children (2011, background): “Given the increased metabolic demands required for prolonged activation of proactive cognitive control processes (Braver et al., 2007), lower-fit participants may be unable to generate the necessary neuroelectric resources to engage, as well as modulate, proactive control mechanisms, thus exhibiting”
Attentional Mechanisms of Distractor Suppression (2014, background): “…suppression of distractors (i.e., disengaging from irrelevant stimuli) and proactive mechanisms (i.e., preventing attention to irrelevant objects in the first place), characterize influences on the speed of rejection, and discuss the known brain mechanisms underlying distractor suppression.”

For Whom the Mind Wanders, and When (2007, background): “Although our central findings of WMC-related variation in real-world executive control are consistent with several attention-related WMC theories ( Braver, Gray, & Burgess, 2007; Cowan, 2005; Lustig et al., 2001), they are not predicted by nonattentional views, for example, proposals that WMC and c”
Motivation and cognitive control: from behavior to neural mechanism. (2015, background): “As Braver and colleagues have observed (Braver 2012, Braver et al. 2007), the most common finding in studies of incentive manipulations is that neural activity is modulated in a preparatory manner—i.e., prior to when responses are required—either through amplified cue and delay-related responses…”
Reward reduces conflict by enhancing attentional control and biasing visual cortical processing (2011, background): “Here, we investigated the interactions between motivation and cognition during a response conflict task and tested a specific model of the effect of reward on cognitive processing.”
