| claim-type | mechanism— “Several pieces of evidence converge to indicate that PPC may be important for regulating changes in attention that affect learning.” | |
| method — evidence | — “This review summarizes evidence for and against a role for the rat PPC in attention and working memory and evaluates how the function of the rat PPC compares to that of primates on these dimensions.” | |
| object of study — evidence | — “This review summarizes evidence for and against a role for the rat PPC in attention and working memory and evaluates how the function of the rat PPC compares to that of primates on these dimensions.” | |
| research question — evidence | — “Indeed, the rat PPC has been studied in a variety of functions related to the processing of sensory information, including attention, perception, spatial learning, and working and long-term memory. However, mixed results have often been obtained and the particular contribution of the rat PPC to behavior remains unclear.” | |
| contribution — evidence | — “Consideration of the specific task demands in the studies that have focused on the PPC as it is currently defined may provide some resolution and explain the apparent contradictory findings regarding the role of the rat PPC in attention.” | |
| transfer | from primate and human neuropsychology: Posner's covert orienting paradigm, rebuilt for rats - the transfer this review argues may have failed in translation— “However, the procedural parameters of the tasks used in primates and rodents are necessarily different. For example, the location of the eyes on the rat’s head prevents it from fixating a central point like primates. Instead, in the rat version of this task, subjects must maintain a nosepoke into a central port for set period of time and… | transfers[0] |
| transfer | from human clinical neuropsychology: the Wisconsin Card Sorting task, transferred as a rodent perceptual set-shifting procedure— “The fact that PPC damage impaired discrimination after an extra dimensional shift suggests that it may be involved in attention that is required when the meaning of a stimulus has changed.” | transfers[1] |
| transfer | from associative learning theory: the Pearce-Hall account of attention as driven by violated prediction, used as the framework for interpreting lesion effects— “According to one influential theory ( Pearce & Hall, 1980 ), a CS will capture attention if its meaning surprisingly changes. This increase in attention to the CS enhances subsequent learning about that cue” | transfers[2] |
| mechanism | PPC serves as the link that converts an increase in attention to a stimulus whose meaning has changed into enhanced subsequent associative learning— “One role of the PPC may be to link attentional and associative learning mechanisms.” | mechanisms[0] |
| mechanism | PPC damage leaves orienting (the attentional response) intact but blocks the translation of that attentional change into learning— “As indicated in the study by Bucci and Chess (2005) , orienting to a CS whose meaning has changed was unaffected by PPC lesions, but lesioned rats were unable to translate changes in attention to effects on subsequent learning.” | mechanisms[1] |
| mechanism | PPC output travels through postrhinal, entorhinal and perirhinal cortex to the hippocampus, giving an anatomical route by which parietal processing shapes learning— “The anatomical connections between PPC and corticohippocampal pathways in the medial temporal lobe provide a clear pathway through which information processing in PPC may influence learning.” | mechanisms[2] |
| mechanism | PPC is recruited specifically when a stimulus loses its predictive validity, which is why it is needed for extradimensional shifts but not for well-learned monitoring— “The fact that PPC damage impaired discrimination after an extra dimensional shift suggests that it may be involved in attention that is required when the meaning of a stimulus has changed.” | mechanisms[3] |
| mechanism | PPC is proposed to link attentional change to associative learning: lesioned rats orient normally to a cue whose meaning changed but cannot convert that into learning— “One role of the PPC may be to link attentional and associative learning mechanisms. As indicated in the study by Bucci and Chess (2005) , orienting to a CS whose meaning has changed was unaffected by PPC lesions, but lesioned rats were unable to translate changes in attention to effects on subsequent learning.” | mechanisms[4] |
| mechanism | the anatomical route is PPC to postrhinal cortex to medial entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex and hippocampus— “Specifically, input from PPC and the retrosplenial cortex converge on the postrhinal cortex. The postrhinal cortex, in turn, is primarily connected with medial regions of entorhinal cortex and discrete areas of the hippocampal formation” | mechanisms[5] |
| mechanism | Pearce-Hall: a stimulus captures attention when its meaning surprisingly changes, which then enhances learning about it— “According to one influential theory ( Pearce & Hall, 1980 ), a CS will capture attention if its meaning surprisingly changes. This increase in attention to the CS enhances subsequent learning about that cue” | mechanisms[6] |

When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.
