Abstract

Anselika LensfelderUiiversität Mü"nchen Patients with frontal lobe damage are often unable to cope with everyday life despite their unaffected performance in tests of intelligence, language, memory, and perception (Grattan & Eslinger, l99l).This discrepancy has stimulated various models describing the planning and action control deficits in patients with frontal brain lesions.For a long time, the frontal lobes have been considered to be involved in regulating and programming behavior (e.9., Harlow, 1896/1993:'Luna,1962, 1973; Pribram, 1987;Pribram & Tubbs, 1967).Hierarchical models of brain functioning (Stuss & Benson, 1986;Tranel, Anderson, & Benton, 1994) assume that executive functions (including anticipation, goal selection, planning, monitoring, and use of feedback), located in the prefrontal cortex, control the lower level fixed functional systems (e.g., attention, memory).Other models make a distinction between explicit and im-

  • Effects have been demonstrated in patients with frontal lobe lesions and children with ADHD, suggesting that implementation intentions may be effective even in populations with suboptimal self-regulation abilities.

    “On the one hand, effects have been demonstrated in patients with frontal lobe lesions (e.g. Lengfelder & Gollwitzer, 2001) and children with ADHD (e.g. Gawrilow & Gollwitzer, 2008), suggesting that implementation intentions may be effective even in populations with suboptimal self‐regulation abilities.”

  • The present findings are consistent with other studies demonstrating implementation intention effects in critical populations.

    “Second, the present findings are consistent with other studies demonstrating implementation intention effects in critical populations (Brandtstaetter et al., 2001;Lengfelder & Gollwitzer, 2001).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
