Intraindividual differences in executive functions during childhood: The role of emotions
TL;DR: Whether the emotional fluctuations that schoolchildren experience in their classroom settings could generate substantial intraindividual differences in their EFs and, more specifically, in the fundamental unifying component of EFs, their inhibition function is addressed.

Associations between Disorder-Specific Symptoms of Anxiety and Error-Monitoring Brain Activity in Young Children
Sharon L. Lo,Hans S. Schroder,Megan E. Fisher,C. Emily Durbin,Kate D. Fitzgerald,Judith H. Danovitch,Jason S. Moser +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that more separation anxiety disorder (SAD) symptoms are associated with a smaller ΔERN, even after controlling for other anxiety disorder symptoms, suggesting ineffective error-monitoring in young children with SAD problems.

Brain activation to task-irrelevant disorder-related threat in social anxiety disorder: The impact of symptom severity
Carina Yvonne Heitmann,Katharina Feldker,Paula Neumeister,Leonie Brinkmann,Elisabeth Schrammen,Pienie Zwitserlood,Thomas Straube +6 more
TL;DR: A network of brain regions is involved in SAD patients' processing of task-irrelevant, complex, ecologically valid, disorder-related scenes, which seems to reflect a growing imbalance between neural mechanisms related to stimulus-driven bottom-up and regulatory top-down processes resulting in dysfunctional regulation strategies.

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.
