Study Snapshot
Key takeawayThe dual mechanisms of control framework explains cognitive control variability by distinguishing between proactive and reactive modes of control, which influence intra-individual, inter-individual, and between-group differences.
PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.

List-level control partially explains the list-wide proportion congruence effect in the Stroop task, with benefits for word reading and a cost for secondary memory tasks involving irrelevant neutral words.

Cognitive Control in Adolescence: Neural Underpinnings and Relation to Self-Report Behaviors
Adolescents show under-developed proactive control mechanisms, linked to impulsivity, poor decision-making, and lack of foresight, which are linked to under-activated brain regions.

Motivated Cognitive Control: Reward Incentives Modulate Preparatory Neural Activity during Task-Switching
Reward incentives improve task-switching performance by selectively affecting brain regions involved in cognitive control processes, with one mechanism being enhanced cue-related task preparation in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

On why not to rush older adults--relying on reactive cognitive control can effectively reduce errors at the expense of slowed responses.
Older adults rely more on reactive cognitive control, leading to increased response conflict as task difficulty increases.
