ten Flashcards
abstract
-concepts that are not tied to specific experiences
-can evoke completely divert responses to the same stimulus depending on goals and context
concrete
reasoning based on what you can see, hear, feel in the exact moment, exact interpretations
raven progressive matrices
-non verbal reasoning test
-horixontal scans at different Dorsal ventral levels across the brian
rule responsive neurons in PFC
-monkey match/non-match task
-DLPC cell increed activity during the delay when match was across all clocks, even when some cues were altered
-delay cells respond to the stimulus, holding into in PFC working memory
-indictaion that in PFC there are nuerons that hold info on rules
abstract thought and PFC
-interpreting proverbs (rome in a day)
-poeple with left lateral frontal damage/leisions are more concrete
-same in right side but less extreme
anterior vs posterior
-the further you go back, the more abstract computations are done In the PFC
abstract experiment
-levels A-D, A most complex
-most simple conditions A is at back of brain
-D complex is at the front
prefrontal lessons and organisation
-8 task
-last two require organisation
-frontal damage more to and froing, not organised behvaiour
frontotemporal dementia
-become more artistic as dementia progresses
-communication, perseverance, have to generate?
creativty and PFC
-suppress frontal cortex and you will become more creative
-matchs stick problem/roman numerals
-LPF (lateral prefrontal) damage worked better in atypical tasks suggesting more creative
bailent syndrome
-shown comb and spoon
-attetion moves to object that wiggles
-shown when bi-lobe lesions
frontal lob syndrome
-deficit in temporal order
-poor decision making “executive syndrome”
-socially inappropriate outbursts
-risky behaviour
