Emotional episodes facilitate word recall

By using the same nouns in all conditions and varying the emotional valence of the initial processing episode, we reduced the viability of intra-valence cueing as a competing explanation of differen ...

Between-Task Competition and Cognitive Control in Task Switching
... Cognitive control is required to guide thought and action in accordance with current goals and intentions (Norman and Shallice, 1986; Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Miller and Cohen, 2001). This control is particularly important when multiple tasks are possible and behavioral demands are continually shi ...
