What are the two primary decision-making systems in the brain, and their main functions?
*
Sensory and Emotional systems; detect stimuli and regulate feelings
Automatic and Deliberate systems; manage rapid responses and deliberate problem-solving
Creative and Logical systems; generate ideas and organize thoughts
Reflexive and Instinctive systems; focus on survival without considering outcomes
What is the primary role of the Cingulate Cortex in decision-making?
*
Generating emotional responses to guide all choices
Switching energy use between the Automatic and Deliberate systems based on context
Storing long-term memories to aid in decision-making
Controlling reflexes and instinctive actions
Which situation best illustrates a shift from the Automatic to the Deliberate decision-making system?
*
Quickly moving out of the way of a speeding car
Deciding how to handle an unexpected work deadline after initial assumptions were wrong
Continuing a daily routine without considering alternatives
Reacting to a loud noise without thinking
Why is it important to understand the anatomy of the brain’s decision-making systems?
*
To identify the location of brain structures
To prevent changes in brain function
To ensure decisions are always emotional and intuitive
To improve the efficiency of personal decision-making by managing how systems are used
How does cognitive flexibility, supported by understanding decision-making anatomy, benefit life choices?
*
By ensuring only automatic responses are used for efficiency
By eliminating the need for deliberate decisions altogether
By enabling adjustments in thinking to respond effectively to changing needs
By reducing the importance of managing energy between systems
On a diagram of the brain, which areas are associated with the Automatic and Deliberate decision-making systems?
*
TheSubcortex and Prefrontal Cortex
The Hippocampus and Brainstem
The Occipital Lobe and Cerebellum
The Temporal Lobe and Parietal Cortex
