If we don't stay engaged, cognitive processes slow down and depression often sets in, he says.
This study provides preliminary evidence that SSRIs may be most beneficial in patients who are less able to engage cognitive control networks while processing negative stimuli.
Design principles emerging from the cognitive theory of multimedia learning can be applied to engage cognitive processing, and teaching methods that have evolved from variation theory can encourage thinking through comparisons in mathematics education.
Adjustment mechanisms in the SLT engage cognitive control methods such as conflict resolution and are likely to be related to "top-down" control systems such as selective (or executive) attentional processes [16].
In addition, the unexpected error engages cognitive control, which also evaluates the error and introduces an additional control signal or strategy to update predictive control on the next movement (figure 5, dashed route).
Taken together, these studies provide evidence that mindfulness practice affects psychological and neural processes and systems that improve attentional capacity and body awareness and engage cognitive control processes.
Thus, the extent to which a participant engages cognitive resources related to effort is often unknown, and presumably varies considerably between tasks and participants.
Behavioral therapy and nutrition education might be sufficient to engage cognitive control and counteract predispositions in this population, which, if our findings are replicated, would be encouraging.
The capacity to engage cognitive control processes begins to emerge in early childhood and continues to develop into late adolescence (Eisenberg et al., 2009; Rothbart et al., 2007).
