2021, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchThe influence of focused-attention meditation states on the cognitive control of sequence learning
2017, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :In addition to influencing control strategies that allocate attention to task-relevant stimuli, FAM may also influence regulation of working memory, since the function of the latter would be required in order to undertake processes such as monitoring attention allocation and reengagement of task-relevant stimuli involved in the cyclic process of focusing attention (Gallant, 2016; Hasenkamp & Barsalou, 2012; Malinowski, 2013; Miyake et al., 2000; Posner & Petersen, 1990). Working memory encodes, processes, and maintains information governed by cognitive control processes (Baddeley, Cocchini, Della Sala, Logie, & Spinnler, 1999; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Burnham, Sabia, & Langan, 2014; Friedman & Miyake, 2004; Miyake & Shah, 1999). Moreover, attention and working memory are interdependent during performance of goal-directed tasks (Koechlin & Summerfield, 2007), particularly in the presence of task-irrelevant information (Hutchinson & Turk-Browne, 2012; James, 1890; Lavie, 2006; Lavie, Hirst, de Fockert, & Viding, 2004; Mizrak & Oztekin, 2016).

2013, Brain Research BulletinCitation Excerpt :Finally, it was found that all of these attentional impairments in the 3xTgAD mice could be completely reversed by the administration of the AD drug donepezil (Aricept, approved by the United States Food and Drug Association and the UK's Medicines Control Agency in 1996/1997), a cholinesterase inhibitor increasing the availability of acetylcholine at the synapse (Fig. 1e). As mentioned above, decreased response accuracies and higher vigilance decrements are also characteristic of AD patients on similar tasks [1,3,5,12,53,64,74,93,94]. Moreover, both the response accuracy impairment of 3xTgAD mice and the sustained attention deficit of early AD patients can be ameliorated by cholinesterase inhibitors (Fig. 1e,f), which enhance the availability of acetylcholine at the synapse [91,93,94].
Discourse production after right brain damage: Gaining a comprehensive picture using a multi-level processing model
2012, Journal of NeurolinguisticsCitation Excerpt :Recent developments into the nature and composition of attention itself may provide clearer concepts and assessments for clinical populations. Many theorists have incorporated an executive function into their models of attention; this function provides overall control of the attention processes and co-ordinates the various attention processes when more complex or novel tasks arise (Baddeley, 2007; Baddeley, Cocchini, Della Sala, Logie, & Spinnler, 1999). Its exact nature has been debated but it is agreed that simultaneous tasks require special management (e.g. Kiesel et al., 2010; Overton, 2010).
