What is cognitive control?
WIREs Cognitive Science 2 (16):1-15 (2025)
Abstract
The last two decades have seen major advances in cognitive control research. In this paper, I provide an overview of this research. I next make a case that it might benefit from more reflection on its theoretical foundation. I end by suggesting that action theory might be of use with this.Author's Profile
