Executive control functions (ECFs) have become an important topic in the cognitive sciences in the past 40 years. The number of publications has steadily increased, and in the last decade, studies have been conducted in one of the best models of human cognition: the old-world macaque monkey. Here, we review recent studies in the monkey that have contributed to our understanding of the neuronal implementation of ECFs, with a focus on task-switching paradigms. These paradigms have revealed that ECFs are distributed across both the parietal and frontal lobes.
在过去40年里,执行控制功能(ECFs)已成为认知科学中的一个重要课题。相关出版物的数量一直在稳步增加,并且在过去十年中,研究是在人类认知的最佳模型之一:旧世界猕猴身上进行的。在这里,我们回顾了最近在猕猴身上进行的研究,这些研究有助于我们理解执行控制功能的神经元实现,重点是任务切换范式。这些范式表明,执行控制功能分布在顶叶和额叶。
