講演題目:Developmental transitions in the dynamics of cognitive
control: Implications for memory and intervention
講演要旨:Children show dramatic improvements in cognitive control over
the first decade of life. For example, children show a shift in the
dynamics of cognitive control, from a reactive form, where control is
engaged only as needed in the moment, to a proactive form, where control
is engaged in anticipation of needing it. Although this shift is
generally viewed as adaptive, there are also cognitive trade-offs, such
that the development of proactive control can confer costs. I will
discuss such trade-offs in the context of memory retrieval processes.
The shift from reactive to proactive control also has implications for
interventions to improve children's inhibitory control; our work
suggests that supporting reactive processes is effective in children
prior to the shift, while training proactive processes is effective in
children after the shift.

講演者2:Professor Randall C. O'Reilly (University of Colorado at Boulder)
講演題目:How adaptive control emerges from multiple interacting brain
systems
講演要旨:Everyone seems to agree that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays
a critical role in executive control. But often it is treated as
somewhat of a homunculus -- a "little person" in the head that
mysteriously manifests the very same intelligence that we seek to
understand in the first place. In ongoing work, my colleagues and I
have been attempting to deconstruct this homunculus, by understanding
how adaptive cognitive control emerges from the interactions of multiple
specialized brain systems, including the basal ganglia and associated
subcortical affective systems, the parietal cortex, and the hippocampus,
all interacting with different subregions of the vast PFC system. We
use biologically-based computational models to understand how these
systems interact in complex ways to produce adaptive overall behavior.
This talk will present an overview of the current state of our models,
and some exciting new directions of current research on the role of
anterior ci!
ngulate cortex (ACC) and orbital frontal cortex (OFC) in using
activation-based processing to monitor executive function.
