This study investigates how context changes affect memory reactivation, finding that irrelevant context changes trigger reactivation of long-term memories in working memory.

The paper shows that people can transfer learned expectations about cognitive flexibility demands across different task environments and stimuli.

This study shows that the multiple-demand network processes task difficulty independently of context, using fMRI data from arithmetic tasks with varying difficulty levels.

The paper identifies an anticipatory hippocampal convergence state linked to memory formation and midbrain activation during trivia tasks.

This study challenges the stability-flexibility tradeoff by showing cognitive stability and flexibility can be independently regulated.

The paper shows that event boundaries can either impair or enhance temporal order memory depending on whether context information is available during retrieval.

This study uses fMRI and a reference-back task to investigate the neural substrates of working memory updating, finding that gate opening involves BG, thalamus, and sensory cortex, while gate closing is not reliably associated with these regions.

This study shows humans adapt near-optimally to sensory noise but exhibit suboptimal cognitive judgments under integration noise, captured by a Bayesian model blind to this noise.

The paper shows how the brain combines external cues and internal predictions to guide task preparation and cognitive control.
