Project description
The brain is known to comprise an executive control system which enables goaldirected behavior. The question whether executive control is a unitary system, was recently introduced as a possible way to address the theoretical issues around executive control. The purpose of this experimental research project is to investigate whether executive control can be fractionated into a number of executive functions.
