Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to We’ll wrap up this chapter by considering the suite of cognitive processes that allow us to plan out and successfully engage in behaviors that help us to…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to Much of our discussion thus far has focused on attentional function in the healthy, typically developing brain. There are, however, a number of neuropsychological and neurodevelopmental disorders…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to Earlier, we distinguished between overt attention, which involves performing a rapid eye movement from one point of fixation to another (a saccade) in order to bring information into…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to So far in this chapter, we’ve talked mostly about the brain systems involved in selecting and processing the things that are the focus of your attention, without much consideration…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to The diversity of cognitive processes that we discussed in the last section is mirrored by the complex neuroanatomy that underlies those processes. Arousal, vigilance, and selective attention…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to Just like other complex cognitive processes, such as emotion (Chapter 13 Emotion and Mood), attention involves a wide range of abilities and networks. It’s an umbrella term…
Figure 19.1 “Pay attention!” How could someone miss a gorilla? Chapter Outline 19.1 What are the Different Psychological Processes Associated with Attention? 19.2 How is Attention Implemented in the Brain? 19.3 What Happens to Unattended Information? 19.4 What is the Relationship between Attention and Eye Movements?…
Memory is Classified Based on Time Course and Type of Information Stored Memory has many different categories that are supported by distinct brain regions. These categorizations can be based on time (short vs. long-term memory) or content of the memory…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to We have now learned about several brain regions that are important for memory encoding. But, what neural mechanisms within those regions are necessary for long-term memory? Decades…
Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you should be able to In the previous section, we discussed implicit memory, which included the associative and non-associative memories that can often guide our behavior without us being consciously aware of…
