PSYC19H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Feedback, Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Document Summary
Thermostat-temp you put in ex 21 degrees is set point. also has way of gauging current temp in house. way of comparing and detecting discrepancy. implementing change could be firing of furnace. Won"t be sensitive to a discrepancy of ex 0. 5 so 21. 5 would be okay. That would be minimally large discrepancy to enact change. Brain needs glucose. guarantees an ample amount is present in brain, if too low, regulatory system makes us feel hungry, start metabolizing fat to release glucose. happens implicitly. Same process for explicit goals ex excel at work. if start noticing typos, conflict monitoring should detect it it. slow down, re-read, change slide, make sure no typos. Model helps us understand how to build machines/robots that know when action needs to be taken. Know from conflict monitoring theory that certain parts of brain involved in system. Cog monitoring function thought to be generated in anterior cingulate cortex.
