Lesson 3.2 – Limiting Down Regulation

  1. Cognitive Domain (Remembering, Understanding, Applying)
    1. Identify the functions of the ACC in evaluating task effort and predicting outcomes.
    1. Explain the role of the ACC in monitoring expectations and detecting mismatches.
    1. Describe the conditions required to maintain up-regulation to the Deliberate Decision-Making System.
  2. Affective Domain (Receiving, Responding, Valuing)
    1. Acknowledge the importance of accurate information in aiding the ACC’s role in maintaining up-regulation.
    1. Demonstrate willingness to utilize structured decision-making tools to provide the ACC with clear expectations.
    1. Engage in activities that promote curiosity as a strategy to manage frustration during decision-making challenges.
  3. Psychomotor Domain (Perception, Set, Guided Response)
    1. Locate and use structured decision-making tools designed to enhance ACC function during up-regulation.
    1. Observe and adjust initial steps in decision-making to create a sequence that the ACC can monitor effectively.
    1. Execute a step-by-step decision-making process to ensure continuity and prevent down-regulation.
