Answer to Question 1

Answer: The attentional controller indicates the current goal and adds activation to nodes within a network related to the goal. The conflict monitor monitors the amount of conflict between nodes at the response level. As the amount of conflict increases, the conflict monitor engages executive attention.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The human prefrontal cortex is disproportionately large compared to other primates, receives information from almost all perceptual and motor areas as well as from many subcortical areas, and there are multiple projections from the prefrontal cortex to sensory, cortical, and motor areas. The diverse connections converging in the prefrontal cortex allow for the integration of information and the projections back to other areas of the brain allow for top-down processing.
