Neuromodulation of Cognitive Monitoring across Adult Development: A Genomic Imaging Project

在更大的背景下，研究小组的冲突作为一个处理信号的认知和神经认知系统，这个拟议的子项目（Teilprojekt）的主要目标是调查寿命的发展变化的功能和机制的冲突监测在行为和神经元水平，使用实验和神经计算的方法。我们将在两个分析层次上调查儿童、青少年、年轻人和老年人的冲突监测机制。在更宏观的功能层面上，我们将研究寿命的信号，监测和评估冲突所产生的可用处理资源和任务需求之间的差异的年龄差异。在更微观、更机械的层面上，我们将从三个具体的、研究得很好的方面来考察寿命年龄的差异，即反应冲突、压倒性冲突和奖励结果冲突。将开发计算模型来探索神经调节和冲突监测机制的各个方面的寿命变化之间的关系。

Within the larger context of the research group on conflict as a processing signal in cognitive and neurocognitive systems, the main goal of this proposed sub-project (Teilprojekt) is to investigate lifespan developmental changes in the functions and mechanisms of conflict monitoring at behavioral and neuronal levels, using experimental and neurocomputational approaches. We will investigate conflict-monitoring mechanisms in children, teenagers, young adults, and older adults at two levels of analysis. At the more macroscopic, functional level, we will investigate lifespan age differences in signaling, monitoring, and evaluating conflicts arising from discrepancies between available processing resources and task demands. At the more microscopic, mechanistic level, we will examine lifespan age differences in three specific and well-researched aspects of processing conflict, that is, response conflict, overriding conflict, and reward outcome conflict. Computational models will be developed to explore the relations between lifespan changes in various aspects of neuromodulation and conflict monitoring mechanisms.
