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

在更大的背景下，研究小组将冲突作为认知和神经认知系统的处理信号，这个拟议的子项目（Teilprojekt）的主要目标是利用实验和神经计算方法，在行为和神经元水平上研究冲突监测功能和机制的终身发展变化。我们将从两个层面分析调查儿童、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，我们将研究寿命年龄在信号、监测和评估冲突方面的差异，这些冲突是由可用的处理资源和任务需求之间的差异引起的。在更微观的、机制的层面上，我们将在加工冲突的三个具体和研究充分的方面检查寿命年龄差异，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.
