CEREBRAL CORTEX AND ATTENTION
MODELS OF ATTENTION
Mirsky's Elements of
Attention Model
Focus-execute
attention
Involves selective attention
and rapid perceptual-motor output
Sustained attention
Pertains to the attention function
of vigilance
Shifting attention
Ability to move or change attentional focus in a flexible and adaptive manner
Encode attention
Capacity to briefly maintain information in memory while performing other related actions
Stable attention
Consistency of attentional effort
Posner's Anterior and Posterior
Attention Model
Vigilance attention
system
Achieving and maintaining
an alert state
Right frontoparietal
Anterior or executive
attention system
Orchestrating voluntary actions
Anterior cingulate,
prefrontal cortex,
basal ganglia & thalamus
Posterior
orienting system
Orienting to stimuli
Engage and disengage attention from a stimuli
Superior temporal,
superior parietal,
Superior colliculus &
Thalamus
Mesulam's Model of
Spatial Attention
Parietal region
Function :check:
Generates 'sensory map'
Cingulate cortex
Function :check:
Assigns and regulates motivational and emotional significance
Damage :warning:
Hemispatial neglect
Failure to attend to the visual field
Relates to right hemisphere injury
The frontal cortex
Function :check:
Modulates and coordinates motor programs
