[[Cognitive control]] is the set of processes that organize, plan, and schedule mental operations.<ref>[https://dictionary.apa.org/cognitive-control Cognitive control], American Psychological Association</ref>
According to the Carter Lab at the University of California, Davis:
{{Cquote|"Cognitive control" is a construct from contemporary cognitive neuroscience that refers to processes that allow information processing and behavior to vary adaptively from moment to moment depending on current goals, rather than remaining rigid and inflexible. Cognitive control processes include a broad class of mental operations including goal or context representation and maintenance, and strategic processes such as attention allocation and stimulus-response mapping. Cognitive control is associated with a wide range of processes and is not restricted to a particular cognitive domain. For example, the presence of impairments in cognitive control functions may be associated with specific deficits in attention, memory, language comprehension and emotional processing. Given its pervasive influence, impaired cognitive control could account for many of the widespread impairments exhibited by people with schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental disorders.<ref>[https://carterlab.ucdavis.edu/research/control.php Cognitive control], Carter Lab at the University of California, Davis</ref>}}
