Sustained attention is a fundamental cognitive operation that relies on multiple brain networks and is impaired in a broad array of neurologic conditions.

There is increasing clinical and experimental evidence that the cerebellum is involved in nonmotor behaviours and cognitive operations.

Confrontation naming ability entails the operation of distinct cognitive operations and the integrity of a distributed neural network.

However, the presumed attentional deficits have not been linked either to specific cognitive operations or to specific neural systems.

Metacognitive evaluations refer to the processes by which people assess their own cognitive operations with respect to their current goal.
