Age 18 to 20 Lesson 3.1 -Prefrontal Cortex and Better Life Decisions

Do the following descriptions of decision-making seem familiar? 

Overwhelmed by major decisions—like choosing whether to accept a study abroad opportunity.
Relying on outdated strategies—such as sticking with a high school study routine that no longer works for college-level courses.
Struggling to maintain focus on long-term goals—like procrastinating on applications for graduate programs.
Becoming discouraged by slow progress—such as doubting your career path after an unsuccessful internship.

The video lesson includes the following topics and lesson objectives:

Cognitive Domain (Knowledge, Understanding, and Application)

1.1 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.
1.2 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)

2.1 Acknowledge the importance of cognitive control and deliberate decision-making in managing complex, unfamiliar, or difficult decisions.
2.2 Express an appreciation for how the PFC integrates information and resources to enable thoughtful and goal-directed actions.

Psychomotor Domain (Perception, Set, and Guided Response)

3.1 Observe a decision-making scenario and identify when a shift from the Automatic System to the Deliberate System is necessary due to the task's complexity or novelty.
