Document Summary
Chapter 12 cognitive control part 1: what is cognitive control, the anatomy behind cognitive control, cognitive control deficits, goal-oriented behaviour, decision making, goal planning, goal-based cognitive control, ensuring that goal-oriented behaviours succeed. What is cognitive control: cognitive control = the ability to use our perceptions, knowledge, and goals to bias the selection of action and thoughts from a multitude of options. Allows us to: override habitual thoughts and behaviour. The anatomy behind cognitive control: subdivisions of the frontal lobes: Primary motor cortex and secondary motor areas. Prefrontal cortex = the rest of the frontal lobe; 4 regions: lateral prefrontal cortex, frontal polar region, orbiofrontal cortex (aka ventromedial zone, medial frontal cortex (anterior singulate. Prefrontal cortex makes up more of the frontal lobe in humans than other species: also the last area to develop, not reaching maturity until early adulthood, prefrontal cortex massively interconnected w. areas related to: Limbic areas (emotional centers: networks underlying cognitive control prefrontal cortex receives:
