Cool and Hot Aspects of Executive Function in Childhood Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
TL;DR: The present study does not support cool or hot EF impairments in childhood OCD and investigates performance-based EF in pediatric OCD using observed and latent variable analyses.

Reduced representations capacity in visual working memory in trait anxiety.

TL;DR: The measured contralateral delay activity (CDA) in a lateralized change detection task indicates that HTA individuals reach the upper limit of representation capacity with a smaller memory load than LTA individuals, and indicates thatHTA individuals are associated with reduced representations of taskrelevantitems in WM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships among attention networks and physiological responding to threat.
TL;DR: Faster alerting and slower disengaging from non‐emotional attention cues were related to heightened responding to unpredictable threat, whereas poorer executive control of attention was related to increased responding to predictable threat.

A preliminary investigation of potential cognitive performance decrements in non-help-seeking tinnitus sufferers.
TL;DR: Tinnitus sufferers were no more depressed nor anxious than controls, but they performed less well on both cognitive tasks, with particular attention given to the possibility that subjective distress is an important moderating factor in tinnitussufferers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in Emotion Recognition and Working Memory Tasks.
TL;DR: It was observed that while females were better on SWM task processing, males performed better on IED and four move SOC tasks, illustrating that processing of WM components may differentiate by sex.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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).
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
