The Mechanisms of Proactive Interference and Their Relationship with Working Memory
… encoded but no longer relevant information (proactive interference: PI). Four different mechanisms of PI resolution involving binding and inhibition have been proposed in the literature, although debate continues regarding their role. Braver et al. (2007) introduced an important distinction …

Trait inattention and goal representations.
… Stroop tasks where the use of goal maintenance (proactive control) would be beneficial to task performance; and goal neglect mediated these relationships. I discuss how these findings relate to the inattention, goal neglect and proactive control literatures. The key finding was the consistent …

Emotion versus Motivation: Probing Dissociable Effects on Cognitive Control Through Task Performance, Pupillometry Methods, and Individual Differences
… and punishments) and their impact on cognitive control. Given previous empirical evidence suggesting that positive emotion may enhance cognitive flexibility and reactive control, while performance-contingent rewards may enhance goal maintenance and proactive control, we sought to directly …

Examining the boundary conditions between cognitive control and interference derived from stimulus-based and response-based conflict
Cognitive control is a broad construct that defines a set of processes involved in maintaining task goals in response to interference. Working memory capacity (WMC) is a similarly defined construct that shares many overlapping functions with cognitive control. The studies presented used controlled …

Cognitive control in high and low suggestible individuals
The current work aimed to investigate cognitive control use in high and low hypnotically suggestible individuals in the context of the Dual-Mechanisms of Control Framework (Braver, 2012), to determine whether the differences in suggestion response are explained by the type of cognitive control …

THE DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE CONTROL DURING CHILDHOOD: A NEUROCOGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE
… complete a goal – a concept known as cognitive control. Research has shown that cognitive control develops rapidly over the first decade of life. One of the key control-related developments during childhood is the transition from a heavy reliance on in-the-moment and as-needed control …

Model predictive control for ascent load management of a reusable launch vehicle
… wind measurements has always been important to control system designers. This thesis will describe a novel approach to managing structural loads through the combination of a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) wind sensor, and Model Predictive Control (MPC). LIDAR wind sensors can provide near …

Cognitive Control across domains: integrating language, pain perception and clinical applications.
… portfolio explores the central role of cognitive control in high level cognitive processes, with a focus on language and pain perception. Drawing from my published work (including case studies, and critical reviews) this portfolio demonstrates that cognitive control is a core mechanism supporting …

An EEG Source-Space Analysis of the Neural Correlates Underlying Self-Regulation
<p>Self-regulation is the cognitive process of controlling our thoughts and behaviors to be aligned with our goals. This process is used in many different contexts and has been associated with contributions from several brain regions. This research aimed to investigate differences in four …

Modulating emotional bias in attentional competition
… Chapter 4, the competition was also modulated by proactive control: when participants were told the kind of emotional distractor to expect in a given trial, they were better able to overcome emotion-induced blindness. Taken together, the experiments in this thesis supported a spatiotemporal …

Neural Processes Underlying the Intrusion of Unwanted Memories
… addressing a different aspect of detecting and controlling intrusive memories in the TNT task. In the first chapter, an overview of the relevant literature is provided, highlighting the automatic nature of intrusive memories and their attention-capturing nature. The chapter also discusses how …

Evaluating the cognitive benefits associated with an acting intervention: A brain-behavior framework
… to pre-intervention and an active control group. Within this context, we pursued two-interrelated lines of investigation, presented in Chapters 1 and 2 respectively. In Chapter 1, we postulated that older adults would show improvements in various aspects of executive function and …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action
… inhibition is thought to be achieved either proactively, by preventing the unwanted response, or reactively, by cancelling the already initiated response. Previous studies have shown that a)action stopping is mediated via distinct fronto-sub-cortical interactions that achieve proactive and …

Identification and Modification of Risk Factors Contributing to Slip- and Trip-Induced Falls
