The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher cognitive functions. Working…
Temporal dynamics of brain activation during a working memory task

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to examine brain activation in human subjects during performance of a working memory task and to show that prefrontal cortex along with parietal cortex appears to play a role in active maintenance.
The Cognitive Benefits of Interacting With Nature

Two experiments are presented that show that walking in nature or viewing pictures of nature can improve directed-attention abilities as measured with a backwards digit-span task and the Attention Network Task, thus validating attention restoration theory.
Abrupt visual onsets and selective attention: evidence from visual search.
- S. Yantis, J. Jonides

- 1 October 1984
It is hypothesized that an abrupt onset in a visual display would capture visual attention, giving this item a processing advantage over items lacking an abrupt leading edge, and designed a second experiment to ensure that this finding was due to attentional factors rather than to sensory or perceptual ones.
A Parametric Study of Prefrontal Cortex Involvement in Human Working Memory

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to probe PFC activity during a sequential letter task in which memory load was varied in an incremental fashion, providing a "dose-response curve" describing the involvement of both PFC and related brain regions in WM function.
Uniqueness of abrupt visual onset in capturing attention
- J. Jonides, S. Yantis

- 1 July 1988
Experiments are reported investigating whether abrupt onset is simply one member of a large class of stimulus characteristics, all of which are capable of capturing attention, and whether these also could elicit shifts of attention.
Age Differences in the Frontal Lateralization of Verbal and Spatial Working Memory Revealed by PET
- P. Reuter-Lorenz, J. Jonides, R. Koeppe
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience
- 2000
Positron emission tomography was used to investigate verbal and spatial short-term storage in older and younger adults to consider several mechanisms that could account for these age differences including the possibility that bilateral activation reflects recruitment to compensate for neural decline.
Abrupt visual onsets and selective attention: voluntary versus automatic allocation.
- S. Yantis, J. Jonides
- PsychologyJournal of Experimental Psychology: Human…
- 1 February 1990
The hypothesis that abrupt visual onsets capture attention automatically, as suggested by Yantis and Jonides (1984) was tested in four experiments and showed that onsets do not necessarily capture attention in violation of an observer's intentions.
Facebook Use Predicts Declines in Subjective Well-Being in Young Adults

- 14 August 2013
Experience-sampling results suggest that Facebook may undermine well-being, rather than enhancing it, as Facebook use predicts negative shifts on both of these variables over time.
