Q

developing self-control as child have no impact on your success in life

A

false

tested in stanford marshmallow experiment

18
Q

which test is perform to test cognitive control:
- False belief test
- Stroop task
- Matrix Reasoning Test

A

Stroop task

19
Q

what imapairs prefrontal cortex?

A

stress, fatigue and alcohol

20
Q

noradrenaline impairs prefrotnal cortex in low doses: true or false

false.

low doses= attention; high doses= stress

21

calculate value of food

22
Q

what’s the function of the orbitofrontal cortex?
- projects to hippocampus

26
Q

fucntion of secondary gustatory cortex is…
- projects to hippocampus
- desicion-making
- attention
- working memory
- cognitive control
- cognitive processes
- executive function
- rewards and punishment
- outputs back to limbic system
- link stimuli to value
- regulation of emotion
- abstract reasoning
- conflict monitoring
- top-down regulation of attention
- error detection

A

link stimuli to value

palatability

27
Q

secondary gustatory cortex is always active: true or false

A

false

shuts down when eaten too much

28
Q

two main components of working memory are…

A
  • phonological loop
  • visuo-spatial sketchpad
29
Q

they can run parallel task which use the same component: true or false

A

false:
- can run parallel, low load task which use a differnt component (reharsing numbers while walking
- cannot run task whoch both use the same component (mentally reharsing numbers while saying unrelated words outloud)

30
Q

define episodic buffer

A

integration of working memory components with long-term memory

integrate view and sound together

31
Q

what the function of the central excutive physiological process

A

coordinates the information provided by the two slave systems, the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpadso they dont get overloaded

its four important executive component processes:
1. Capacity to focus attention
2. Capacity to divide attention between two concurrent tasks
3. Capacity to switch attention from one task to another
4. Capacity to provide a link between working memory and long term memory
