dc.description.abstract | A defining feature of cognitive control is that it is reflexive - we can rapidly and
flexibly adjust attentional processes and executive control over our thoughts and
behaviour in response to changing internal or external demands. Working memory
(WM) and inhibitory control are cognitive abilities at the core of this flexible
cognitive capacity. This thesis presents a body of research, conducted with fMRI,
which investigates the functional anatomy of these flexible cognitive control
processes. Specifically, the thesis presents a number of focused examinations of
dimensions on which cognitive control varies, namely: task difficulty; task practice;
and individual differences, with a particular focus on whether and how the functional
anatomy of cognitive control processes might respond to practice. | |
