Fonctions Exécutives
♦ In the video, at the time of a magic ritual, indices appear concerning a historical character having exerted
and having undergone executive functions.
The words rest on the evocation of the Executive Functions in neuropsychology and the tests wich allow the invocation of a
famous character having exercised and undergone the executive functions.
The enigma is : To discover this famous person.
♦ If you think of having found the answer, you can post it here , so that Dame Sarrasine answers you personally.
DEFINITION
♦ Political, according to Larousse :
The executive power is the power charged to apply the laws, to lay and lead down the policy of the nation.
♦ In human neuropsychology, reference to the GREFEX (Think tank for the Evaluation of the Executive Functions):
THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS ARE :
- High level functions, functions of control, this functions are involved in numerous forms of cognitive activities.
- These functions have for purpose : the realization of the task.
- They allows | to define an objective to reach, |
- | to set up a strategy to reach that point, |
- | and to carry out a control of the results. |
| FLEXIBILITY | " it is about the capacity of moving the attentionnel focus of a class of stimuli to an other one, in other words, of the capacity to alternate between different cognitive "sets" " considered by Eslinger and Grattan of 'revive' flexibilté " , and a 'spontaneous' flexibility which would concern the production of a flow of ideas or answers further to a simple question... This second shape of flexibility would require a shape of suppleness of the thought, a capacity to evoke less familiar aspects of the knowledge to the detriment of the more usual or automatic answers..." |
| INHIBITION | "... All the mechanisms which allow on one hand to prevent that not relevant information enters in working memory (and thus disturb the task in progress),and on the other hand to delete previously relevant information but which became useless... " |
| PLANNING | order a series of stages with the beginning and the end, to end in something. |
| DEDUCTION OF RULES | " it is often difficult to distinguish, within the same test, what is specifically of the deduction of rules or of the conceptual elaboration... The deduction of rules is usually tested by showing a succesion of figures which a component changes according to a logical rule which the subject has to deduct.... |
| DOUBLE TASK | Capacity to make 2 things at the same time. |
| Vigilance or warning | Allows the state of general responsiveness. |
| Focused attention | Ability to collect individual informations. |
| Selective attention | to focus on a limited set of information and ignore irrelevant. |
| Moving the attention along | Moving the attention alternately to track different information sources. |
| divided Warning | Can simultaneously track multiple information sources. |
| Stroke | Arterial Infarction | average brain (anterior and deep territory) |
| anterior cerebral | ||
| thalamus (paramedian territory) | ||
| venous infarction : superior sagittal sinus | ||
| ruptured aneurysm : anterior communicating and pericallosal | ||
| hemorrhage : frontal lobe, thalamus and striatum | ||
| Other focal lesions | tumors, abscesses | |
| Dementia | Vascular Dementia | |
| Subcortical dementia (progressive supranuclear palsy, Huntington disease, Parkinson disease) | ||
| Frontotemporal dementia | ||
| Corticobasal degeneration | ||
| Alzheimer's disease | ||
| Severe head trauma | ||
| Inflammatory etiologies | ||
| Hydrocephalus | ||
| Alcoholic encephalopathy |
♦ In refrain :
Enumeration of the executive functions from a neuropsychological point of view: Flexibility, Inhibition,
Planning, Deduction of rules, Double task
My cordial thanks with Doctor Ben Brahim Mohammed for the authorization of use of extracts of his videos on the neurons and the nerve impulse (Neuromatiq)
which appear at the time of the refrains.
♦ In verse :
According to a historical reading, the verses are arranged in order to establish the link with the life of a famous character having exerted and undergone the executive functions.
The neuropsychological reading of the words highlights the names of the tests which one simultaneously sees in the video (tests equipped in the fashion of Dame Sarrasine).
