Document Summary
Most of the control processes generally located in the prefrontal cortex and allow you to run your mind. What are we doing next with our mind or thinking. The brain"s conductor - organizing you gets a larger and smaller role. Working memory: activates things from long term memory. Maintaining behavioral set: what did you decide to do. Selective: choosing what to pay attention to, sustaining: keeping attention. Strategy generation: coming up with ways to solve probs and remember something. Planning/organization: what are you gonna do next and in what order. Planning requires you to order things in your mind. E. g like when you lost card and remembering where it was last: you do a strategic memory search. Temporal-spatial tagging : in everything you do you tag where did it happen. Abstract reasoning: when you evaluate theories and write papers, proving theses,etc: requires sequencing and strategy. Inhibitory control: controlling your responses: has to do with sustained attention.
