Construct validity of the Trail Making Test: Role of task-switching, working memory, inhibition/interference control, and visuomotor abilities
Ignacio Sánchez-Cubillo,José A Periáñez,Daniel Adrover-Roig,José Manuel Rodríguez-Sánchez,Marcos Ríos-Lago,J. Tirapu,Francisco Barceló +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that T MT-A requires mainly visuoperceptual abilities, TMT-B reflects primarily working memory and secondarily task-switching ability, while B-A minimizes visu operceptual and working memory demands, providing a relatively pure indicator of executive control abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal modulation of visual processing in humans
TL;DR: This work provides anatomical, electrophysiological and behavioral evidence that prefrontal cortex regulates neuronal activity in extrastriate cortex during visual discrimination and provides evidence for intrahemispheric prefrontal modulation of visual processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and the cognitive assessment of prefrontal executive functions: a critical update.
Erika Nyhus,Francisco Barceló +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to examine the causes of criticisms of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and to resolve them by incorporating new methodological and conceptual advances in order to improve the construct validity of WCST scores and their relationship to prefrontal executive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Both random and perseverative errors underlie WCST deficits in prefrontal patients
TL;DR: A WCST version sensitive to differences between 'efficient' and random errors was used to examine set shifting deficits in patients with focal lesions to their lateral prefrontal cortex and, as expected, patients showed abnormally high rates of perseverative errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Task Switching and Novelty Processing Activate a Common Neural Network for Cognitive Control
TL;DR: It is concluded that novelty P3 reflects transient activation in a neural network involved in updating task set information for goal-directed action selection and might thus constitute one key element in a central bottleneck for attentional control.
