Aue, William R.; Arruda, James E.; Kass, Steven J.; Stanny, Claudia J. – Brain and Cognition, 2009
Biological rhythms play a prominent role in the modulation of human physiology and behavior. [Smith, K., Valentino, D., & Arruda, J. (2003). "Rhythmic oscillations in the performance of a sustained attention task." "Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology," 25, 561-570] suggested that sustained human performance may systematically…

Maguire, Mandy J.; Brier, Matthew R.; Moore, Patricia S.; Ferree, Thomas C.; Ray, Dylan; Mostofsky, Stewart; Hart, John, Jr.; Kraut, Michael A. – Brain and Cognition, 2009
In daily activities, humans must attend and respond to a range of important items and inhibit and not respond to unimportant distractions. Our current understanding of these processes is largely based on perceptually simple stimuli. This study investigates the interaction of conceptual-semantic categorization and inhibitory processing using Event…

Welcome, Suzanne E.; Chiarello, Christine – Brain and Cognition, 2008
Interaction between the cerebral hemispheres may allow both hemispheres to contribute their processing resources in order to cope efficiently with complex tasks [Banich, M. (1998). The missing link: the role of interhemispheric interaction in attentional processing. "Brain and Cognition," 36, 128-157]. The current study investigated whether the…
