Anatomical and Functional Organization of Domain-General Brain Regions
… Numerous brain imaging studies identified a domain-general or “multiple-demand” (MD) brain system co-activated accompanying many tasks and is hypothesised to play a central role in cognitive control. However, the limited spatial localization provided by traditional imaging methods precluded a …

Electrophysiological systems underlying human domain-general cognition and selective attention
Understanding how neural dynamics support domain-general cognition and selective attention is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms that enable flexible cognitive processing across tasks. This thesis investigates the contributions of electrophysiological systems—including oscillatory, aperiodic, …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action
… Based on these findings, we posit that domain general inhibitory control is mediated by fronto-sub-cortical loops that support distinct proactive and reactive control mechanisms. Furthermore, we also posit that these control mechanisms may also play a role in other cognitive domains …

A domain-general perspective on medial frontal brain activity during performance monitoring
… their signature in theta power, reflects the general process of controlling attention and adapting behaviour without the need to induce error commission, the inhibition of responses, or the presentation of negative feedback.

DOMAIN-SPECIFIC AND DOMAIN-GENERAL INFLUENCES ON EARLY MATHEMATICAL SKILLS: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Two domain-specific quantity systems have been proposed; the “Precise Number System” for small precise numerical representations, and the “Approximate Number System” for imprecise numerical representations (Feigenson, Dehaene, & Spelke, 2004). The efficiency of these systems has been individually …

Learning to Adapt Cognitive Control Across Paradigms: Evidence for Domain-General Control Strategies
… cognitive control tend to describe it as a domain-general construct, several researchers posit that each task elicits different types of control adaptations, thus implying that the control adjustments learned in one task might be purely task-specific. Indeed, some studies failed to find a …

Fostering the Development of Domain-General, Nonlinear Mental Models: A Foundation for Systemic Thinking
… examined whether people can develop a domain-general, nonlinear mental model when provided with an appropriate conceptual model. Both experiments presented causal loop models (i.e., variables connected in a circle by arrows representing causal relationships) as a conceptual model for …

Investigating domain-general short-term memory for order versus specific item memory in developmental dyslexia
… also affects processing beyond the verbal domain. In three studies, dyslexic children in Italy, good and poor reading school children in Germany and a sample of adults in Belgium participated in 2 x 2 experiments in which short-term recognition performance for order and item information was …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Working Memory: Eros-Based Comparisons of Frontoparietal Network Activities in Preparation, Encoding, and Recognition Tasks
… evolved from a central question, ""Is the domain-general component of working memory subtended by a general-purpose brain circuit which is invariant across tasks or, alternatively, are different circuits or variations of this same circuit used for different tasks?"" By using a neuroimaging …

Comparing the immediate free recall of verbal and visuo-spatial stimuli:List length, capacity and output order effects in single- and dual-modality tasks
… are argued to be reflective of either a domain-general retrieval mechanism that operates on all stimuli at all timescales, or two domain-specific mechanisms that operate in quasi-identical ways. To distinguish between these two possibilities, Chapter 3 compared capacity and output order …

Anxiety, Ambiguity, and the Emotional Modulation of Early Visual Processing.
… bottom-up and top-down mechanisms, respectively. Domain-specific accounts hypothesise that emotional modulation of vision is based on level of threat and mediated by a ‘fear module’ that pre-attentively evaluates EFEs via an analysis of coarse information (low spatial frequencies; LSF). Anxiety is …

PClean : Bayesian data cleaning at scale with domain-specific probabilistic programming
… cleaning and normalizing dirty data in diverse domains. Given an unclean dataset and a probabilistic program encoding relevant domain knowledge, PClean learns a structured representation of the data as a relational database of interrelated objects, and uses this latent structure to impute …

Private Speech and Inner Speech in Typical and Atypical Development
… the development of SDS development is domain-general—by looking at cross-task correlations between measures of private speech production in typically developing children. Other psychometric properties of private speech production (longitudinal stability and cross-context consistency) …

Children's Construction of Musical Knowledge in Early School
… musical learning and development proved to be domain-specific rather than domain-general. The construction of musical knowledge depended on accessibility of and familiarity with the specific musical repertoire rather than general physical or cognitive constraints. The children's domain specific …

Neural Correlates of Error Detection in Math Facts
… have examined the relative contribution of domain-general and domain-specific mechanisms supporting the development of mathematics cognition, yielding mixed results. Two etiological origins have been proposed for children struggling with mathematics, the first resulting from a …

Predictions in a dynamic world: the adaptive role of the Active Prediction Network
… have been investigated across multiple cognitive domains, including visual perception, social cognition, and language comprehension. While extensive research has focused on automatic linguistic predictions based on long-term statistical regularities, the neural mechanisms supporting active …

The role of language in broader human cognition: evidence from neuroscience
… elicits responses in brain areas of a distinct, domain-general multiple demand network. In Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, I study the language network’s responses to pictures of objects and events during semantic tasks, which, like language comprehension, require access to conceptual information. I …

On the representation and learning of concepts : programs, types, and bayes

The Bayesian-optimality of decision-making behavior: across tasks, time, and psychopathology.

THE ROLE OF UNCERTAINTY IN SOCIAL COGNITION: INTEGRATING FMRI AND BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES

In Study 2, I empirically tested this idea by designing an fMRI task where participants made mental and nonmental inferences under varying …
