Journal ArticleDOI
Storage and executive processes in the frontal lobes.
Edward E. Smith,John Jonides +1 more
TL;DR: The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher cognitive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is possible to improve Gf without practicing the testing tasks themselves, opening a wide range of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal dynamics of brain activation during a working memory task
Jonathan D. Cohen,Jonathan D. Cohen,William M. Perlstein,Todd S. Braver,Leigh E. Nystrom,Douglas C. Noll,John Jonides,Edward E. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to examine brain activation in human subjects during performance of a working memory task and to show that prefrontal cortex along with parietal cortex appears to play a role in active maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cognitive Benefits of Interacting With Nature
TL;DR: Two experiments are presented that show that walking in nature or viewing pictures of nature can improve directed-attention abilities as measured with a backwards digit-span task and the Attention Network Task, thus validating attention restoration theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Parametric Study of Prefrontal Cortex Involvement in Human Working Memory
Todd S. Braver,Jonathan D. Cohen,Jonathan D. Cohen,Leigh E. Nystrom,John Jonides,Edward E. Smith,Douglas C. Noll +6 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to probe PFC activity during a sequential letter task in which memory load was varied in an incremental fashion, providing a "dose-response curve" describing the involvement of both PFC and related brain regions in WM function.
