"This book has everything one could ask for from a handbook on cognitive control. First, the handbook is eminently comprehensive and covers fundamental concepts and hypotheses, as well as a breadth of cognitive operations including working memory, conflict resolution, inhibitory control, performance monitoring, memory encoding and retrieval, and reward and emotion. The text addresses cognitive and neuroscience theories and data, changes in cognitive control mechanisms during healthy development, and neuro-psychiatric disorders. Second, the chapters were written by some of the best scientists in each cognitive control domain including renowned senior scientists and young stars who represent the future of this discipline. This book is a must-have reference for scientists and professionals interested in cognitive control topics and it serves as an excellent resource for graduate and undergraduate students on these topics."—Roberto Cabeza, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University"The Wiley Handbook of Cognitive Control is a collection of state-of-the-field reviews by top researchers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in cognitive control." —Earl K. Miller, Ph.D., Picower Professor of Neuroscience, The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, MIT "An exciting and authoritative compilation of chapters on one of the key concepts in cognitive neuroscience." —Trevor W. Robbins, Ph.D., CBE FRS FMedSci, Professor, Department of Psychology, and Behavioral and Clinical Neuroscience Institute, University of Cambridge, UK "This is a fantastic volume that includes an all-star team of contributors. What’s so exciting is to see how cognitive control is now situated in a broader context that includes emotion and motivation, among several other processes." —Luiz Pessoa, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Maryland Neuroimaging Center, University of Maryland, College Park, and author of "The Cognitive-Emotional Brain""Cognitive control is fundamental for effective, goal-directed navigation through life. This impressive volume provides a comprehensive overview of what is known about cognitive control, and includes contributions from many of the field’s leaders. With coverage that spans theory, computation, neurobiology, and interactions between control and other systems, this collection is a definitive resource for students and experts." —Anthony Wagner, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Stanford University "Finally — a reference text that covers it all in terms of theory and research on cognitive control, with comprehensive treatment from a wide variety of perspectives. This will be essential reading for students and researchers wanting to get up to speed on the current state of the field." —Todd S. Braver, Ph.D, Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Washington University, St. Louis "The study of cognitive control lies at the crossroads of understanding what makes us human, and what it will take to make artificial agents that can match the remarkable flexibility of human behavior.  It is becoming increasingly central to a wide range of disciplines, from psychology and neuroscience, to psychiatry, artificial intelligence, economics, education, policy making and even philosophy.  This is the first volume to systematically review modern research in this area, and is a must-read for anyone interested in entering the area, or making use of the remarkable advances that are being made within it." —Jonathan D. Cohen, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology, Princeton University
