PSY493H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Error Detection And Correction, Cognitive Neuroscience, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
Executive function: notes in preparation for psy493 final. Pfc: working memory and the delay of selective activity. Impaired delayed-response: no external cues, must maintain an online mind / out of sight out of, monkey is performing task representing normal. Image from: banich, m. , compton, r. , & banich, m. (2011). From: banich, m. , compton, r. , & banich, m. (2011). Ca: wadsworth, cengage learning: pfc neurons have no response to cue or response, they are selective for delay in a working memory task, neural correlate of forming an online representation of the stimulus. It is often studied by cognitive and experimental psychologists, and can be tested experimentally using tasks like the wisconsin card. Deficits in set-shifting are commonly observed in patients with parkinson"s disease. Wcst: must figure out rule through trial and error, color, shape, number, examiner switches rule (color . >number >shape, etc. : need to ignore color and respond to number.
