A person who has little planning ability is likely to,

In Shiffrin & Schneider (1977)

An automatic process is generally understood to be,

What would be a good test of Action Initiation

Action Initiation is mostly mediated by,

Dopamine is mainly involved in,

Bradyphrenia is the term referring to a common condition following neurological damage where the patient demonstrates

A person who tends to tell the end of the joke before the introduction is likely to have problems with

For Besner, Stolz, and Boutilier (1997), the Stroop effect was eliminated by,

Haynes, Sakai, Rees, Gilbert, Frith, & Passingham (2007) found specific activation of different task goals before they were even executed in which area of the prefrontal cortex?

How would you measure of a patient has problems with goal activation

Hampshire, MacDonald & Owen (2013) found that retired American Football players showed under-activiaion in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex following which test?

Damage to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is likely to induce,

A person with goal activation problems will also demonstrate difficulties with,

Aharoni et al (2013) could predict the chance of future rearrests for non-violent crimes by studying the activity of a particular brain area in the go no-go task. Which area are we referring to?

In Monchi et al's (2001) study, the authors tried to dissociate a number of processes using fMRI and the WCST. Which condition was used to measure set shifting?

In the alternating runs paradigm (Rogers & Monsell, 1995), the estimation of switch costs (switch minus repeat) does not measure differences in,

Awareness of an error can be measured by which ERP component?

During perseverations, participants are often,

Monchi et al (2001) studied some process dissociations within the Winconsisn Card Sort Test using fMRI. Where did they find activation related to the processing of the cue to switch?
