Developing intuition: neural correlates of cognitive-skill learning in caudate nucleus.
The superior capability of cognitive experts largely depends on automatic, quick information processing, which is often referred to as intuition. Intuition develops following extensive long-term training. There are many cognitive models on intuition development, but its neural basis is not known. Here we trained novices for 15 weeks to learn a simple board game and measured their brain activiti...
متن کاملBehavioural Correlates of Cognitive Skill Learning in Parkinson’s Disease
The impact of basal ganglia dysfunction on cognitive skill learning was explored using a learning version of the Tower of London (TOL) task, which places a heavy load on working memory and is not confounded by declarative memory, as have been previous tasks. Two subgroups of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients were assessed and also completed a selection of neuropsychological tests: the first was...
متن کاملThe cognitive functions of the caudate nucleus.
The basal ganglia as a whole are broadly responsible for sensorimotor coordination, including response selection and initiation. However, it has become increasingly clear that regions of the basal ganglia are functionally delineated along corticostriatal lines, and that a modular conception of the respective functions of various nuclei is useful. Here we examine the specific role of the caudate...
متن کاملThe neural correlates of consciousness: an analysis of cognitive skill learning.
This paper presents a functional brain-imaging strategy designed to isolate neural correlates of consciousness in humans. This strategy is based on skill learning. In the example presented (rapidly generating verbs for visually presented nouns), a cognitive skill is examined before and after practice. As shown, there are marked qualitative differences in the neural circuitry supporting performa...
متن کاملShape of caudate nucleus and its cognitive correlates in neuroleptic-naive schizotypal personality disorder.
BACKGROUND We measured the shape of the head of the caudate nucleus with a new approach based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) subjects in whom we previously reported decreased caudate nucleus volume. We believe MRI shape analysis complements traditional MRI volume measurements. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging scans were used to measure the shap...
