Control vs Free Will (hannes)

12 important questions on Control vs Free Will (hannes)

Do people with preforntal lesions lose ownership?


No, they still say that 'they' did it, when aksed why, they will anser ' Why not '

The balance between internal goals and external inputs is disturbed

Does personality change when patients have a PFC lesion?

Patients think no, personality traits remain. But for others yes (phineas cage)

How does the PFC influence behaviour?


Adding a point of view of:
goals/rewards
working memory
prospective memory
social norms
contexts
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

How is a decision formed in frogs

The belance between the activation strength in the tectum and the pretectum


How does visual (forward and backward)
masking work?


Showing a target really short after and before a mask makes you unable to conciouslly see it.


BUT: asking question after task shows that you unconsiouslly saw it (e.g. Through : primed response)

Explain the coca cola myth

Showing 'drink coca cola' between cuts in film, increased coca cola consumption afterwards

Explain the experiment showing that masked
stimuli travel all the way to motor cortex and ‘pre-activate’ the motor cortex, resulting in priming.

Respond to nummer <5 L, >5 R. When shorty primed with nummer, congruent is faster RT then incongruent.

What is unconsious priming?

Preceding stimuli that are not perceived influence later perceptual decisions, detection, or memory

How can you see that the masked no go task influences (unconsiously) decision making


You are slower to respond to the GO trail

The inferior frontal gyrus gets activated and slows down PFC --> slower RT

Does the ERN gets activated when you make an unconsious error

Yehes

What shows that there is unconsiously evaluation?

Damasio gambling procedure shows that the SCR already has emotional arousal during pre hunch, by a slight signifanct difference in choices.

Explain the philosophical zombie experiment

If you can do every function unconsious, how do you know that others have a concious?

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
