16
Q

T/F
activity is correlated between the two executive networks

A

false, but activity in areas in a network are highly correlated

17
Q

stress affects self control, regulation and ____

A

attentional tasks

18
Q

cognition and emotions are controlled by activity from where

A

the lateral prefrontal and cingulate regions

19
Q

alerting related disorders

A

Aging (sleep disorders), and ADHD

20
Q

Orienting related disorders

A

autism (inability to disengage), PTSD, contralateral neglect (orienting to contralesional space)

21
Q

executive network related disorders

A

anxiety, depression, OCD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse

22
Q

hypothesis of attention

A

neuronal synchrony, timing of action potentials have input from two neurons arriving at same target at same time, and summed to reach threshold for action potential

23
Q

inattention blindness

A

failure to notice something while performing a task

24
Q

change blindness

A

subjects routinely fail to notice small, unexpected changes in environment

change is not salient enough to alert to the stimuli

25
attentional blink
when paying attention to to something but we miss a second stimulus ## Footnote early-stage filtering
26
integrated info theory
consciousness is made up of distinct experiences that are all unified ?
27
binding in consciousness
unifies arousal, perception, attention, and working memory thought to sync activity in those networks for that relative time of the conscious experience
