TL;DR: A novel task is introduced, along with innovative analysis procedures that probe the relationships between reaction time (RT) variability, attention lapses, and intrinsic brain activity, and represent an important step forward in linking intrinsicbrain activity to behavioral phenomena.

TL;DR: Behaviorally and fMRI findings from an experiment that involved comparing two tasks, an item-memory task and an order- memory task, suggest that the underlying representation of order and numbers may share a common process, coding for magnitude.

TL;DR: Results showed that independent of perceptual stimulation, the FFA and PPA exhibited greater encoding- and maintenance-related activity when their favored stimulus was relevant to the recognition task, consistent with the view that visual working memory encoding and maintenance processes are implemented through modulation of inferior temporal activity by prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: It is concluded that holistic processing is robustly linked to skilled face recognition, and the results provide a case in point for the inappropriateness of subtraction scores when requiring a specific individual differences measure that removes the variance of a control task.

TL;DR: It is found that after the age of 15 years, the strategy and ability trajectories saliently diverge, and strategy becomes monotonically more conservative with age, whereas ability peaks in the early 40s and is followed by a gradual decline in older adults.
