One shortcoming of Kurzban et al.'s model is that it is not clear how animals persist through subjectively effortful tasks, particularly over a long time course. We suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex plays a critical role by encoding the utility of an action, and signalling where efforts should be best directed based on previous and prospected experience.
库尔班等人模型的一个缺点是,不清楚动物如何在主观费力的任务中坚持下去,尤其是在很长的时间内。我们认为,前扣带皮层通过对动作的效用进行编码,并根据以往和预期的经验,为努力的最佳方向发出信号,从而发挥关键作用。
