Introductory psychology part B - Executive Functions –
H 13
Please read the book, but focus on the slides for the exam!



Cognitive functions that are necessary to perform efficient, goal-
directed behavior (prefrontal):
– Plan

– Flexibly change plans and actions

– Working memory

– Learn

– Process feedback

– Performance monitoring

– Detect mistakes

– Inhibit wrong responses


Subdivision prefrontal cortex

, Subdivision in
– Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

• Cold cognition, working memory

– Ventromedial prefrontal cortex

• Hot cognition, impulse control, social behavior

– Medial frontal cortex

• Motivation, reward, guidance of other prefrontal regions



The big questions:
How does our brain enable efficient, goal-oriented behavior?

And which brain networks are involved in goal-oriented behavior?



- Input is often very complex,
- Output on the other hand is limited to 1, maybe 2 actions at the same time
- And in each environment we can act in many different ways  choices  how does our
brain choose?
-

To enable efficient, goal oriented behavior, you need to:
1. Keep the right goals, subgoals and order of subgoals in mind: Working memory (task sets +
timing)  DLPFC
Comparable to RAM of a
computer, more RAM 
more capacity to process
information at the same time

People with higher WM
capacity:
 Score better on IQ tests
 Perform better at school
 Display more creative
insight
 Are more proactive at
work
