The critical role of interference control in metaphor comprehension evidenced by the drift–diffusion model

We address the question of, among several executive functions, which one has a strong influence on metaphor comprehension. Here, with more fine-grained analysis of the decisions involved in metaphor comprehension using the drift–diffusion model, we argue that interference control plays an important role in processing metaphors.

A Cortical Surface-Based Meta-Analysis of Human Reasoning

We developed a new meta-analysis method called Bayesian meta-analysis of the cortical surface (BMACS). Using BMACS, we found that the common pattern of activations from inductive and deductive reasoning was colocalized with the multiple-demand system.
