Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Human spatial perception relies on integrating vestibular, visual, and somatosensory information.
  • Orientation with respect to gravity is crucial for body and object representation.
  • Understanding the neural basis of these perceptions is key to diagnosing spatial cognitive impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify distinct cortical networks for body midline and verticality representation.
  • To compare brain activation patterns during subjective straight-ahead (SSA) and subjective vertical (SV) tasks.
  • To uncover common and specific neural mechanisms underlying spatial orientation.

Main Methods:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was employed.
  • Thirty healthy, right-handed participants were recruited.
  • Brain activity was recorded during SSA and SV tasks.

Main Results:

  • Differential cortical activations were observed for SSA and SV tasks.
  • The SSA task showed increased activation in the angular gyrus and left cerebellum posterior lobe.
  • The SV task revealed activation in the right rolandic operculum and cerebellum anterior lobe.

Conclusions:

  • Visuo-spatial functions and complex bodily processes are engaged in body representation and vertical perception.
  • Common networks for SSA and SV tasks included vestibular projection areas (parieto-occipital) and the cerebellum, with right hemisphere predominance.
  • This study provides a foundation for exploring spatial cognitive deficits in vestibular and cortical disorders.
