Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

202
Cognitive processes affect social behavior by guiding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to social stimuli. These mental processes enable individuals to assess others' behaviors, attribute causes to their actions, and form expectations based on past experiences.Causes of Behavior and Social JudgmentsIndividuals determine the causes of others' behaviors by distinguishing between personal traits and external circumstances. For example, if a friend frequently arrives late, an...

Measures of Central Tendency02:16

Measures of Central Tendency

21.1K
The "center" of a data set is also a way of describing location. The two most widely used measures of the "center" of the data are the mean (average) and the median. The words "mean" and "average" are often used interchangeably. The substitution of one word for the other is common practice. The technical term is "arithmetic mean" and "average" is technically a center location. However, in practice among non-statisticians,...

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution01:25

Drug Distribution: Volume of Distribution

7.4K
The volume of distribution refers to the theoretical volume necessary to contain the entire amount of an administered drug at the same concentration observed in the blood plasma. The body's intracellular fluid compartment, which makes up two-thirds of the total body water, is contrasted with the extracellular fluid compartment—comprising plasma and interstitial fluid—that accounts for one-third. The volume of distribution can vary depending on the characteristics of the drug.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Network Science

Background:

  • Quantifying cognitive changes in the human brain via functional connectivity (FC) is a key neuroscience challenge.
  • A systematic method to measure pairwise functional distance across different brain states is currently lacking.
  • Such a measure would enable quantification of cognitive processing differences and link task-based FC to structural networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel framework for measuring task-rest functional connectivity (FC) distance.
  • To quantify changes in distributed and centralized processing within functional brain networks.
  • To investigate the relationship between FC changes, cognitive tasks, and underlying structural connectivity.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a framework using Jensen-Shannon divergence to map task-rest connectivity distance.
  • Analyzed resting-state and seven task conditions from the Human Connectome Project dataset.
  • Quantified connectivity changes and inferred alterations in information-processing regimes.

Main Results:

  • The Jensen-Shannon divergence framework effectively quantifies connectivity changes associated with cognitive processing.
  • Identified distinct connectivity patterns across different tasks and functional brain networks.
  • Demonstrated that the functional connectivity distance from resting state is influenced by structural connectivity, with task-dependent variations.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework offers a robust mathematical quantification of connectivity changes during cognitive tasks.
  • This approach facilitates understanding how large-scale brain networks dynamically reconfigure to support diverse cognitive functions.
  • The findings provide insights into the interplay between functional dynamics, cognitive states, and the brain's structural architecture.
