Summary of NEUROPSICOLOGÍA DE LA ATENCIÓN

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In this video, van Dam discusses the neuropsychology of attention, with a focus on the three main types of attention (endogenous, focused, and divided) and the five major attentional networks. He explains that each type of attention is controlled by a different brain region, and that each has its own associated symptoms. The video provides an overview of the role of attention in filtering and selecting information, and in controlling subsequent processes.

• 00:00:00 The neuropsychology of attention is discussed in this video, with emphasis on the role of attention in filtering and selecting information, and in controlling subsequent processes. There is agreement among experts in the field that the attention span is distributed in three main networks: a "warning" network, a "orientation" network, and an "executive" network. The "warning" network is activated when a person is expectantly alerted to a potential stimulus. The "orientation" network helps a person orient themselves in the environment, and the "executive" network controls attention to specific tasks.
• 00:05:00 In this video, van Dam discusses the neuroscience of attention, explaining that there are three main types of attention: endogenous, focused, and divided. The three types of attention are controlled by different brain regions: the frontal cortex, the dorsal cortex, and the parietal cortex. Each type of attention has its own associated symptoms, such as confusion and poor performance. The video also covers the five major attentional networks: focal, sustained, selective, alternating, and divided. These networks are activated when a person needs to focus on a particular task, keep a task in mind for a prolonged period of time, or switch between multiple tasks.
