Working memory stores different types of information in flexible codes which provide optimal outcomes for all possible courses of action.
Even though people engage in seemingly impulsive decision-making, they may actually be predisposed to curtail it.
A new study reports sleeps help improve learning performance in predictable processes.
Researchers use neuroimaging technology to identify brain differences between those who procrastinate and those who are doers. The study reveals people with poor action control have a larger amygdala, and the connection between the dorsal ACC and amygdala is less pronounced.
Researchers say acting out scenarios may help to improve prospective memory. Poor prospective memory, researchers report, may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers provide evidence that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in converting vision into action.
Unexpected sounds make people stop an action more often than when they hear no sounds at all. A new study offers an insight into how sensory cues would speed up the brain's communication with the motor system.
A new study explores how actions influence perception.
Researchers report the actions of those with OCD don't take into account things they have learned.
Researchers reveal the social divide between chimps and humans isn't as clear cut as once thought. Observing both animals and visitors at a zoo, researchers discovered about 10% of the actions produced by one species was an imitation of the other species.
A new study reveals execution of action is a combination of random and predictable components that are processed in different brain regions.
Researchers map the neural activation that occurs during the delay between sensation and action.
