|
the ability to flexibly adapt behaviour to reach an internal goal
|
|
|
What is social cognition?
|
the cognition we apply to make sense of social situations
|
|
|
The pre frontal cortex is home to which processors?
|
Higher order processing (processes that make us innately human).
|
|
|
People with low frontal ability scored lower on what?
|
Source memory.
|
|
|
How do Frontal lobe patients deal with goal oriented behaviour (planning and selecting action)?
|
They understood goals, identify goal/sub-goals BUT the solution is not feasible.
|
|
|
What is an example of cognitive control testing in goal oriented behaviour?
|
The Wisconsin card sorting task. Maintain current goal, focus on relevant information, ignore irrelevant information, be able to shift from goal to another.
|
|
|
Retrieval and selection of task-relevant information focuses on what?
|
A role of memory and attention, a dynamic filtering role of the PFC.
|
|
|
What do people with frontal lesions have difficulty doing with tasks?
|
Switching tasks. You have to have cognitive control to switch tasks.
|
|
|
Which part of the cortex plays an essential role in monitoring?
|
Medial pre-frontal cortex.
|
|
|
What are the key components of the medial PFC?
|
1) dealing with novelty
2) dealing with task load 3) response conflict |
|
|
Lateral PFC is important in what with tasks?
|
understanding the task goal.

|
What is the self-referent effect?
|
A word referenced to you. Depth of process is due to being engaged.

|

|
|
|
How do we make financial decisions?
|
Altered decisions due to loss framing are associated with activation in the amygdala.
Rational decisions based on monetary gain are associated with activation in the orbitofrontal cortex. |
|
|
Sleep loss preferentially affects which cortex?
|
The prefrontal cortex.
