The Role of the Basal Ganglia in Memory and Motor Inhibition
… investigated the role of the basal ganglia in memory and motor inhibition. Recent neuroimaging evidence suggests a supramodal network of inhibition involving the lateral prefrontal cortex. Here we examined whether this supramodal network also includes subcortical structures, such as the basal …

Theory of Mind Reasoning and its Relationship to Executive and Social Functioning in 10-Year-Olds
… and irony tasks. In addition, working memory, inhibition, and set-shifting abilities were assessed, along with empathy and bullying/victimization. Results show that cognitive ToM is more advanced than affective ToM in this age group. While cognitive false-belief was positively …

A Less Simple View of Reading: The Role of Inhibition and Working Memory in the Decoding-Comprehension Relationship
… effect of executive functions, specifically inhibition and working memory, on the relationship between decoding and reading comprehension. The current research suggests that the decoding-comprehension relationship is likely more complex than past theoretical models have postulated. Recently, …

A wait-list controlled evaluation of the Qhubeka bicycle on an adolescent's physiology, executive function, and school performance
… that there are potential improvements in working memory, inhibition and shifting due to cycling as a mode of AST or during leisuretime. Further research needs to determine the specific mechanisms associated with these improvements.

CaMKII at a central synapse : α-calcium/calmodium protien kinase II and synaptic plasticity at CA3 Schaffer collateral -- CA1 synapses in the mammalian hippocampus
… may underlie hippocampal dependent learning and memory. Inhibition of post-synaptic calcium/calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been shown to block LTP, and a global knockout of the highly expressed a isoform of CaMKII caused an impairment in LTP and hippocampus dependent learning. We …

Examining component processes of performance on the Tower of London
… of TOL performance to measures of working memory and inhibition. Experiment I examined the contributions of working memory, inhibition, and fluid intelligence to performance on the TOL. It was found that although working memory and inhibition did not significantly contribute to TOL …

Cognitive Control across domains: integrating language, pain perception and clinical applications.
… aspects of cognitive control, such as working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, are shown to be essential for managing linguistic complexity and adapting to dynamic sensory inputs. Using frameworks such as the Dual Mechanisms of Control (integrating proactive and reactive cognitive …

The cognitive and neural basis of suicide : investigating factors that help to identify individuals at risk
… The findings also showed that working memory, inhibition, and emotional control were important predictors for suicidality and this was explored further in an EEG study that measured frontal asymmetry in a series of cognitive tasks. It was postulated that lateralized brain activity may …

The Role of Executive Functions in Mathematics and Physics Achievement in Secondary Schools: A Comparative Study of 15- to 17-year-old Students Across Science and Humanities Curriculum Tracks
… – cognitive skills often including working memory, inhibition and switching – seem essential to secondary school achievement. However, it is unclear how their impact applies to different academic domains of secondary education. Owing to the complex structure of physics, teachers often …

Individual Differences in Multilingualism and Language Learning: Effects on Cognitive Flexibility and Structure Learning
… Function (Cognitive Flexibility, Working Memory, Inhibition) and Structure Learning, a novel statistical learning framework involving learning under uncertainty. Furthermore, various age groups, including children, young and middle-aged adults have been assessed, as well as diverse …

Executive Function Measurement in Urban Schools: Exploring Links Between Performance-Based Metrics and Teacher Ratings
… of executive functioning include working memory, inhibition, and shifting. Each component provides an element of purposeful, self-directed behaviour, making each important for cognitive development. When compared to research centred on the executive function development of White, …

Effortful Control, Attention and Executive Functioning in the Context of Autism Spectrum Disorder
… and three executive functions (i.e. working memory, inhibition and switching). Effortful control was measured using a parent-report questionnaire and ASD core deficits were examined using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second edition (ADOS-2; Lord, Luyster, Gotham, & Guthrie, …

Suppressing What Hurts: The Role of Prefrontal-Thalamic Pathways in Inhibitory Control of Intrusive Thoughts and Conditioned Fear
… primarily investigates the role of the NRe in memory suppression in the human brain along with studying whether memory suppression and fear extinction share common neural pathways. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 lay the foundation for this thesis by reviewing evidence across species demonstrating that …

Fear Not: Exploring the Role of Memory Suppression During Pavlovian Fear Extinction
… two hitherto disconnected research areas: memory suppression and Pavlovian fear extinction. Memory suppression is a cognitive process whereby unwelcome memories intruding into our awareness are pushed out of mind, allowing us to regain control over the contents of our consciousness. …

Believe It or Not: Examining the Case for Intuitive Logic and Effortful Beliefs
… these findings we examined the role of Working Memory (WM) and Inhibition in Experiments 7 – 9 and found, contrary to Experiment 5, belief judgments were more demanding of executive resources and correlated with ID measures of WM and inhibition. Given that belief based judgments resulted in more …
