Welcome!
The
Cognitive Control
and Development Lab at UC Berkeley uses
behavioral and brain imaging techniques to elucidate the neural
mechanisms of
cognitive control in healthy and neurologically impaired adults and
children.
Cognitive
control refers to the set of processes that underlie the ability to
flexibly
shape and constrain our thoughts and actions in accord with our goals
and the
current context.
These
control processes include actively maintaining goals and goal-relevant
information in mind (working memory), transforming and integrating
information
held in working memory, keeping irrelevant information out of mind
(selective
attention or cognitive inhibition), selecting a response from among a
number of
possible responses (response selection), and inhibiting inappropriate
response
tendencies (response inhibition).
The
laboratory, headed by Dr. Silvia Bunge, is located on the first floor
of Barker
Hall in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. The Department of
Psychology
and the Brain Imaging Center are both located nearby.
