A central circuit of the mind

摘要: The methodologies of cognitive architectures and functional magnetic resonance imaging can mutually inform each other. For example, four modules the ACT-R (adaptive control thought – rational) architecture have been associated with brain regions that are active in complex tasks. Activity a lateral inferior prefrontal region reflects retrieval information declarative module; activity posterior parietal changes to problem representations an imaginal anterior cingulate cortex updates goal caudate nucleus execution productions procedural module. Differential patterns activation such central reveal time course different components cognition.
