Tulving et al. (1994): PET scans showed different types of long-term memory may be located on opposite sides of the prefrontal cortex
Examples of research:
Braver et al. (1997): fMRIs showed thecentral executive involved prefrontal cortex activation
Examples of research:
Raine et al. (1997) highlighted the lack of prefrontal cortex activity in impulsive murderers via PET scans
S
Real-world applications in medicine, health, education, etc.
E
e.g. Treatment of OCD as largely biological (impairment in orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus)
E
Technology (e.g. fMRIs) not 100% reliable due to user-error
S
Unethical: screening for criminal behaviour
