This is the first study to examine functional brain activation in a single case of Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM) who shows no sign of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). While previous work has documented the existence of HSAM, info...

Cognitive control during a spatial Stroop task: comparing conflict monitoring and prediction of response-outcome theories (2017)
Journal Article

Cognitive control allows information processing and behaviour to vary adaptively from moment to moment depending on current goals. Two of the most prominent theories that have been proposed to account for the processing of cognitive control are the C...

Aging and the number sense: preserved basic non-symbolic numerical processing and enhanced basic symbolic processing (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Norris, McGeown, Guerrini and Castronovo. Aging often leads to general cognitive decline in domains such as memory and attention. The effect of aging on numerical cognition, particularly on foundational numerical skills known as the number sen...

Event-related brain potentials in the study of inhibition: cognitive control, source localization and age-related modulations (2014)
Journal Article
Pires, L., Leitão, J., Guerrini, C., & Simões, M. R. (2014). Event-related brain potentials in the study of inhibition: cognitive control, source localization and age-related modulations. Neuropsychology Review, 24(4), 461-490. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11065-014-9275-4

In the previous 15 years, a variety of experimental paradigms and methods have been employed to study inhibition. In the current review, we analyze studies that have used the high temporal resolution of the event-related potential (ERP) technique to...
