Educating executive attention.
R esearchers in the newly emerging field of developmental cognitive neuroscience seek to understand how postnatal brain development relates to changes in perceptual, cognitive, and social abilities in infants and children (1). One of the areas of cognitive development that has benefited most from a developmental cognitive neuroscience approach is attention. The ability to attend to individual o...
متن کاملBridging Visual and Executive Attention
Attention is divided by scholars such as Parasuraman (2000) into loosely related kinds of attention, such as visual attention and executive attention. The distinction between exogeneity and endogeneity is well-known in visual attention work, such as Prinzmetal’s (2009) finding that exogenous and endogenous cues had opposite interactions with search task difficulty. In a new experiment, we exami...
متن کاملExecutive attention and metacognitive regulation.
Metacognition refers to any knowledge or cognitive process that monitors or controls cognition. We highlight similarities between metacognitive and executive control functions, and ask how these processes might be implemented in the human brain. A review of brain imaging studies reveals a circuitry of attentional networks involved in these control processes, with its source located in midfronta...
متن کاملSupramodal executive control of attention
The human attentional system can be subdivided into three functional networks of alerting, orienting, and executive control. Although these networks have been extensively studied in the visuospatial modality, whether the same mechanisms are deployed across different sensory modalities remains unclear. In this study we used the attention network test for the visuospatial modality, in addition to...
متن کاملExecutive Control of Attention in Narcolepsy
BACKGROUND Narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) is a disabling sleep disorder characterized by early loss of hypocretin neurons that project to areas involved in the attention network. We characterized the executive control of attention in drug-free patients with NC to determine whether the executive deficits observed in patients with NC are specific to the disease itself or whether they reflect perf...
