¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution00:52

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

1.3K
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

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...

Cognition and Behavior

Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Language and Cognition

804
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.1K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Flexible cognitive control adapts processing via proactive and reactive mechanisms.
  • Limited understanding of temporal interactions between control components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Characterize temporal dynamics of cognitive control components.
  • Investigate neural basis of proactive and reactive control interaction.

Main Methods:

  • EEG recordings during a dynamic face-word Stroop task.
  • Hierarchical Bayesian modeling for computational indices (learning rate, predicted conflict, prediction error).
  • Neural correlation and Granger causality analyses.

Main Results:

  • Computational indices correlated with Theta, Alpha, and Beta oscillations.
  • Granger causality revealed dynamic connectivity patterns.
  • Pre-stimulus connectivity reflected proactive control; post-stimulus connectivity reflected reactive control.

Conclusions:

  • Oscillatory dynamics coordinate multiple cognitive control components.
  • Proactive and reactive control emerge from interconnected neural architecture.
  • Provides novel insights into flexible cognitive control mechanisms.
