Exogenous attention
Triggered by external stimuli, reflextive
Endogenous attention
Internal
Selective attention
Ability of focussing at one thinga at a time
Vigilance/sustained attention
Focussing for a long period of time
When does exogenous attention develop?
Early childhood
When does endogenous attention develop?
Later in childhood
When does selective attention develop?
7-10 months with growth spurts later on
When does vigilance develop?
8-11 years
Three memory processes
- Encoding
- Storage
- Retrieval
4 types of memories
- Sensory register
- Short term memory
- Working memory
- Long term memory
Two types of long term memory
- Conscious/explicit/declarative memory
- Unconscious/implicit/non-declarative memory
2 types of conscious/explicit memory
Episodic & Semantic
2 types of unconscious/implicit memory
Procedural & Priming
Where does the executive functions locate?
Prefrontal cortex
3 higher order functions
Planning, coordination, regulation
4 components in EF
- Attentional Control
- Cognitive flexibility
- Goal setting
- Processing information
When does attentional control develop?
Baby, with growth spurth at 15 years old
When do cognitive flexibility/goal setting/processing information develop?
Around age 7-9, fully matured at age 12
Location exogenous attention
Parietal lobe
Location endogenous attention
Anterior cingulate & Prefrontal brain
Location selective attention
Temporal lobe & Basal ganglia
