On the importance of being flexible: early interrelations between affective flexibility, executive functions and anxiety symptoms in preschoolers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contribution of executive flexibility in children's emotional processing when confronted with an emotional problem and found that affective flexibility mobilizes their cognitive and emotional resources to optimally address it.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

Anxiety and cognitive performance: Attentional control theory.
TL;DR: Attentional control theory is an approach to anxiety and cognition representing a major development of Eysenck and Calvo's (1992) processing efficiency theory and may not impair performance effectiveness when it leads to the use of compensatory strategies (e.g., enhanced effort; increased use of processing resources).

The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and its correlates
TL;DR: A questionnaire measure of self-reported failures in perception, memory, and motor function, the most plausible view is that cognitive failure makes a person vulnerable to showing bad effects of stress, rather than itself resulting from stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety and Performance: The Processing Efficiency Theory
TL;DR: Theories of anxiety and performance need to address at least two major issues: (1) the complexity and apparent inconsistency of the findings; and (2) the conceptual definition of task difficulty as mentioned in this paper.

The relations among inhibition and interference control functions: a latent-variable analysis.
Naomi P. Friedman,Akira Miyake +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the term inhibition has been overextended and that researchers need to be more specific when discussing and measuring inhibition-related functions.
