The Wiley Handbook of Cognitive Control
by Tobias Egner
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1118920546 | 656 Pages | ePUB | 16 MB

Covering basic theory, new research, and intersections with adjacent fields, this is the first comprehensive reference work on cognitive control – our ability to use internal goals to guide thought and behavior.

- Draws together expert perspectives from a range of disciplines, including cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and neurology
- Covers behavioral phenomena of cognitive control, neuroanatomical and computational models of frontal lobe function, and the interface between cognitive control and other mental processes
- Explores the ways in which cognitive control research can inform and enhance our understanding of brain development and neurological and psychiatric conditions

"This book has everything one could ask for from a handbook on cognitive control. First, the handbook is eminently comprehensive and covers fundamental concepts and hypotheses, as well as a breadth of cognitive operations including working memory, conflict resolution, inhibitory control, performance monitoring, memory encoding and retrieval, and reward and emotion. The text addresses cognitive and neuroscience theories and data, changes in cognitive control mechanisms during healthy development, and neuro-psychiatric disorders. Second, the chapters were written by some of the best scientists in each cognitive control domain including renowned senior scientists and young stars who represent the future of this discipline. This book is a must-have reference for scientists and professionals interested in cognitive control topics and it serves as an excellent resource for graduate and undergraduate students on these topics."—Roberto Cabeza, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University
