Here, we scrutinize the often-reported involvement of rostral prefrontal cortex (rPFC; approximating Brodmann area 10) in such situations: This region might mediate attention between external stimuli and the internally maintained intention, that is, between stimulus-oriented (SO) and stimulus-independent (SI) processing.
The ACS is a forced-choice self-report measure developed to assess differences in action-state orientation (the ability to initiate and maintain intentions).
Edward never again went on crusade after his return to England in 1274, but he maintained an intention to do so, and took the cross again in 1287.
Our central focus is on the evolving intentions of agents over time, and the conditions under which an agent can adopt and maintain an intention.
The Dutch company maintained its intention to remain independent as it continues a turnaround plan to rebounds from recent disappointing results.
The company has maintained its intention to continue with the federation model despite pressure from activist investors to completely spin off growing businesses.
At follow-up, 51% maintained their intention to be screened and 14.6% newly intended to get screened.
For women receiving the decision aid, most considering ECV maintained their intention (from 74% of women before to 77% after reviewing the decision aid), and those initially unsure chose not to have an ECV.
Individuals newly intending to get screened were more likely to have participated in the intervention, be older, male, and born in Puerto Rico or the United States compared to those who maintained their intention not to get screened (p < 0.05).
Thus, maintaining an intention may activate lrPFC due to increased reliance on SI attending, while mrPFC deactivation may reflect concurrent attenuation of SO processing of the OG task (Burgess et al. 2003; Simons et al. 2006).
In particular, it tested the hypothesis that maintaining an intention activates lrPFC due to increased reliance on SI attending, while mrPFC deactivation reflects concurrent attenuation of SO processing of the OG task (Burgess et al. 2003; Simons et al. 2006).
