Comparing the Complex Cognition of Birds and Primates (2004, background): “Güntürkün and colleagues lesioned only the NC, however, and the tasks used were those traditionally used to examine dorsolateral prefrontal cortex function in mammals, so-called executive functions (Stuss and Alexander, 2000).”
A population-level analysis of associations between school music participation and academic achievement. (2020, background): “Neurological bases of EFs have been identified whereby the frontal lobe is hypothesized to be particularly salient in EFs (Miyake et al., 2000; Stuss & Alexander, 2000); relatedly, music training in childhood and/or early adolescence have been found to be related to lasting changes to neurological…”
Process Overlap Theory: A Unified Account of the General Factor of Intelligence (2016, background): “Accordingly, different executive functions probably map on different parts of the prefrontal cortex (e.g., MacDonald, 2000; Stuss & Alexander, 2000).”
Self-and Social-Regulation Social Interaction and the Development of Social Understanding and Executive Functions (2009, background): “…analyses have broadly supported the understanding of executive function as a set of separable, but still associated, components (Friedman & Miyake, 2004; Miyake et al., 2000; Stuss & Alexander, 2000; Teuber, 1972), but latent variable analyses tell us nothing about the nature of these components.”
An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance (2013, positive): “…choices (as opposed to simply remembering), keeping an instruction in working memory (e.g., “Do not think of a white bear”), inhibiting prepotent responses, math problems, and so on – all require systems that have many possible uses (Miller & Cohen 2001; Miyake et al. 2000; Stuss & Alexander 2000).”
Neuropsychological measures of executive function and antisocial behavior: A meta-analysis (2011, positive): “This rationale was based on recent evidence indicating that the frontal lobes are only one aspect of an executive system that involves multiple cortical and subcortical structures (Duffy and Campbell 2001; Alvarez and Emory 2006; Robbins 1998; Stuss and Alexander 2000).”
The Elusive Nature of Executive Functions: A Review of our Current Understanding (2007, background): “This fragmentation of executive functions is also found in their relation to the frontal lobes (Stuss and Alexander 2000).”
Executive Functions in Children Aged 6 to 13: A Dimensional and Developmental Study (2004, background): “Neuropsychologically, executive functions have been linked to the prefrontal cortex of the brain and supporting subcortical loops ( Stuss & Alexander, 2000 ), and encompass abilities needed for goal-directed behavior such as inhibition, planning, strategy development, persistence, and flexibility of”
Impulsivity, Frontal Lobes and Risk for Addiction (2009, background): “…should be directed to: Dr. Fulton T. Crews, Director, Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, School of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1021 Thurston Bowles Building, CB 7178, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7178, Phone: 919-966-5678, Fax: 919-966-5679,…”
Assessment and Development of Executive Function (EF) During Childhood (2002, background): “In the assessment process the examiner provides support and encouragement (Sbordone, 2000), and plans and initiates activities (Anderson, 1998), often becoming the ‘‘frontal lobes’’ of the patient (Stuss & Alexander, 2000).”
