Pregunta 10
Pregunta
One of the following statements is wrong – Which one? “Disconnection syndromes”
Respuesta
-
may refer to interruption of intrahemispheric as well as interhemispheric fiber tracts
-
are functional deficits caused by focal lesions of fiber tracts that connect cortical brain areas
-
may result from transection of the corpus callosum (so-called “split-brain” operations)
-
are characterized by anatomical lesion sites (and therefore disconnection symptoms might refer to different cognitive or neuronal systems)
-
means that two cortical areas are linked together irregularly (= dysconnection) by aberrant fiber tracts
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
The model of cognitive control proposed by Miller and Cohen suggests...
Respuesta
-
the existence of a “supervisory attentional system (SAS)”.
-
that emotion-related somatosensory patterns facilitate decision-making (“somatic marker hypothesis”).
-
that inhibitory control may be the underlying mechanisms of behavioural control.
-
the existence of a prefrontal “executive committee” for perception, working memory, attention, long-term memory, motor control and thinking.
-
that the prefrontal cortex exerts top-down-control by providing an excitatory signal that biases processing in other brain systems towards task-relevant information, memory or motor output (“biased competition model”).
