Executive functions are cognitive abilities necessary to complete complex goal-directed behaviors while adapting to a range of environmental demands.
True
False
Executive functioning includes:
self-monitoring
self-awareness
self-regulation
all of the above
Planning and sequencing are the responsibility of:
orbitofrontal cortex
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
anterior cingulate cortex
The orbitofrontal cortex is responsible for:
monitoring of ongoing behavior
working memory
emotion processing
conflict resolution
Task impurity has to do with:
the lack of assessment of processes such as goal setting, structuring, and decision making
ecological validity
the unknown relationship between performance on standardized tests and performance on daily tasks
the potential triggering of non-executive processes during tasks assessing executive functions
Sustained attention represents a basic attentional function that determines the efficacy of the ‘higher’ aspects of attention.
True
False
Bottom-up processing refers to:
to perception that is driven by cognition
processing sensory information as it comes in
Knowledge-driven mechanisms designed to enhance the neuronal processing of relevant sensory input are:
top-down processes
bottom-up processes
What is conjunction search?
an automatic attentional process
a way of examining differences between automatic and conscious processing
a serial process during which one is searching for particular combinations of sensory information
The cognitive strategy in which sensory stimuli are scanned for a specific feature such as color is called:
visual search
feature search
selective attention
Attention that requires adopting a specific mental set for a specific feature is:
divided
selective
While selective attention activates the anterior cingulate, divided attention activates the insula.
True
False
Norepinephrine is associated with:
attention
orient
alert
