Large-Scale Brain Systems and Subcortical Relationships: Practical Applications

Abstract

This article describes an interactive paradigm for understanding brain functioning. This model requires both explicit and implicit learning processes. This paradigm is illustrated through the interpretation of practical examples of behavior. Applications of current neuropsychological tests are presented within this interactive paradigm. The development of new neuropsychological tests is presented, as derived from experimental test paradigms that evaluate implicit learning processes.

Key words:

• cognitive control systems
• interactive test paradigms
• implicit learning
• neuropsychological testing
