- Cognitive Domain (Knowledge, Understanding, and Application)
- Identify the role of the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) in the Deliberate Decision-Making System and describe its key functions, including working memory and cognitive control.
- Recognize the conditions under which the ACC up-regulates decision-making from the Automatic to the Deliberate System based on familiarity and progress assessment.
- Affective Domain (Receiving, Responding, and Valuing)
- Acknowledge the importance of cognitive control and deliberate decision-making in managing complex, unfamiliar, or difficult decisions.
- Express an appreciation for how the PFC integrates information and resources to enable thoughtful and goal-directed actions.
