TLDR
An information-processing model is outlined that predicts that performance on non-routine tasks can be impaired independently of performance on routine tasks, related to views on frontal lobe functions, particularly those of Luria.Abstract:
An information-processing model is outlined that predicts that performance on non-routine tasks can be impaired independently of performance on routine tasks. The model is related to views on frontal lobe functions, particularly those of Luria. Two methods of obtaining more rigorous tests of the model are discussed. One makes use of ideas from artificial intelligence to derive a task heavily loaded on planning abilities. A group of patients with left anterior lesions has a specific deficit on the task. Subsidiary investigations support the inference that this is a planning impairment.read more

Task complexity and location specific changes of cortical thickness in executive and salience networks after working memory training
TL;DR: The results suggest that the direction of activity-induced plastic changes depend on the level of training complexity as well as brain location, which is consistent with the view that the brain responds dynamically to environmental demands by focusing resources on task relevant networks and eliminating irrelevant processing for the purpose of energy reduction.

Neurobehavioural disturbances, rehabilitation outcome, and lesion site in patients after rupture and repair of anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
TL;DR: The variety of neuropsychological disturbances is in contradiction to the existence of an “ACoA syndrome” as an entity and Rehabilitation outcome proved to be mostly associated with both memory and attentional performance.

The temporal dynamics of prospective memory: A review of the ERP and prospective memory literature
TL;DR: The development of prospective memory across the lifespan appears to reflect development of processes associated with retrieval of the cue-intention association from memory, and executive processes related to cue detection.

Cool and hot executive function as predictors of aggression in early childhood: Differentiating between the function and form of aggression
TL;DR: It is suggested that cool EF, particularly inhibition, is associated with childhood aggression across the different functions and forms.

Human Problem Solving
TL;DR: The aim of the book is to advance the understanding of how humans think by putting forth a theory of human problem solving, along with a body of empirical evidence that permits assessment of the theory.

Controlled and automatic human information processing: II. Perceptual learning, automatic attending and a general theory.
TL;DR: Tested the 2-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by the current authors (1977) in a series of experiments and demonstrated the qualitative difference between 2 modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search.

Higher cortical functions in man
TL;DR: Among the authors' patients was a bookkeeper with a severe form of sensory aphasia who could still draw up the annual balance sheet in spite of severe disturbances of speech and although he was unable to remember the names of his subordinates and used to refer to them incorrectly.

Attention to action: willed and automatic control of behavior
Donald A. Norman,Tim Shallice +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter proposes a theoretical framework structured around the notion of a set of active schemas, organized according to the particular action sequences of which they are a part, awaiting the appropriate set of conditions so that they can become selected to control action.
