The Wiley Handbook of Cognitive Control

Research investigating the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive control human beings extraordinary ability to use internal goals to guide thought and behavior has grown tremendously over the last 25 years. Spanning foundational theory, the latest research, and intersections with clinical and developmental domains, The Wiley Handbook of Cognitive Control is the first comprehensive and authoritative handbook on this burgeoning field. Drawing together expert perspectives from across cognitive psychology and neuroscience, it summarizes the state–of–the–art in cognitive control research, as well as the intersection of cognitive control with other disciplines. In–depth coverage includes basic constructs and behavioural phenomena of cognitive control, prevalent neuroanatomical and computational models of frontal lobe function, the interface between cognitive control and mental processes  such as memory, emotion, and decision making, and the various ways in which cognitive control research can inform and enhance our understanding of brain development and neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Tobias Egner is Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of Graduate Studies in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University, USA. Originally from Berlin, Germany, he received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of London in 2002 and was awarded postdoctoral research fellowships at Columbia University and Northwestern University prior to joining the faculty at Duke in 2009. He has authored dozens of influential research and theory papers on the psychological and neural mechanisms of cognitive control.
