Consistency and directionality of action
【Serotonin (High Level, Sustained)】
Impulse suppression
Consistency maintenance
Stable judgment
Rational control
【Noradrenaline (High Level, Phasic Type)】
Selective attention
Concentration on internal criteria
Vigilance toward judgment
Rational control
【Dopamine (Medium to High Level, Controlled Type)】
Motivation for goal achievement
Pursuit of value criteria
Reward for judgment completion
【Acetylcholine (Medium Level, Selective)】
Concentration of attention
Logical processing
Attention to internal criteria
【GABA (High Level, Sustained)】
Impulse suppression
Rational control
Emotional regulation
【Glutamate (High Activity)】
Central activity in the prefrontal cortex (logical and ethical judgment)
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: Logical judgment, planning, inhibitory control
Medial prefrontal cortex: Ethical judgment, self-referential thinking
Anterior cingulate cortex: Consistency verification, error detection
Left hemisphere dominance: Logical and systematic processing
【Excitation Conditions】
Systematization, ordering, meaning-making
Extraction of causality, value, laws, and ethics
Structural understanding, normative understanding
Execution of judgment, derivation of conclusions
"How things should be" "What should be done"
Consistency, directionality, purpose
【Inhibition Conditions】
Disorder, chaos
Impulsive reactions only
Lack of criteria, disregard for consistency
Non-structural states
【Developmental Mechanism】
Early: Simple judgment → Middle: Systematic understanding → Late: Complex reasoning → Mature: Deep integration of judgment and reason
【Consumption Pattern】
Medium to High (90-150 kcal/hour), Sustained
High consumption due to continuous prefrontal cortex activity
【Duration】
Judgment processes lasting minutes to hours
Long-term rational control
【Fatigue and Recovery】
Fatigue: Disorder, lack of criteria, impulsive demands
Recovery: Completion of judgment, achievement of consistency, rational control
Characteristics: Phasic response type, controlling reactions according to internal criteria
【Systematic and Structural Cognition】
Systematic, law-based, and moral organization
Understanding the world structurally and normatively
Extraction of causality, value, laws, and ethics
【Judgmental and Evaluative】
"How things should be" "What should be done"
Following value criteria and logical criteria
Reconstructing by criteria of correctness, good/evil, and purpose
【Linear Temporal Thinking】
Linear thinking connecting past and future
Causal chains, plans and goals
Temporal consistency
【Rational and Intentional】
Reason, purpose, and principles over emotions
Clear and intentional judgment
Consistency and directionality
【Emphasized Elements】
Causality, value, laws, ethics
System, structure, norms
"How things should be" "What should be done"
Consistency, directionality, purpose
Logical criteria, value criteria
【De-emphasized Elements】
Sensation only, impulse only
Disorder, non-structural states
Lack of criteria, disregard for consistency
【Decision-Making Process】
Information reception → Systematization → Extraction of causality, value, laws, ethics → Criteria application → Judgment → Conclusion → Policy
Rational decisions lasting minutes to hours
"Is it logical?" "Is it ethical?" as the criteria
【Process of Judgment and Reason】
Information reception: Receiving perceptual information
Systematization: Ordering and meaning-making
Causality extraction: Cause → effect chains
Value extraction: Meaning, importance, priority
Law extraction: Patterns, regularities, principles
Ethical verification: Moral and ethical validity
Criteria application: Logical criteria and value criteria
Judgment execution: Clear and intentional judgment
Conclusion derivation: Clarification of conclusions and policies
【Characteristics】
Systematic, law-based, and moral organization
Structural and normative understanding
"How things should be" rather than "how do I feel"
Action with consistency and directionality
Reason, purpose, and principles as driving elements
【Attention Priority】
Causality, value, laws, ethics (highest sensitivity)
System, structure, norms
"How things should be" "What should be done"
Consistency, directionality, purpose
【Easily Overlooked】
Sensory experience, immediate emotions, non-structural beauty, fluid processes
【Daily Life】
Organizing systematically, law-based, and morally
Understanding the world structurally and normatively
Thinking about "how things should be" and "what should be done"
Acting according to reason, purpose, and principles
【Thinking Style】
Judgmental, evaluative
Systematic, structural
Linear temporal thinking
Rational, intentional
【Learning Style】
Prefers: Systematic understanding, logical learning, mastery of principles
Dislikes: Disorder, non-structural, only impulsive
【Speaking Style】
Content: Causality, value, laws, ethics, "how things should be"
Style: Systematically, logically, clearly
Characteristics: Judgment, evaluation, conclusion, policy
【Listening Style】
High sensitivity to causality, value, and laws
"Disordered" "Illogical"
【Discussion Style】
Role: Judge, evaluator, rational controller
Effect: Things become clear, systematized, or rigid, tendency to disregard emotions
【Healthy Range】
Stronger rational control, deepening of judgment, strengthening of systematization
【Moderate Stress】
Excessive suppression, complete rigidity
【High Stress】
Collapse of reason, deterioration of health, burnout
【Signs of Recovery】
Completion of judgment, achievement of consistency, restoration of rational control
【Waking Pattern】
Judgmental, "What is today's goal?"
【Daytime Pattern】
Continuous judgment, rational control, systematic processing
【Evening Pattern】
Reflection on today's judgments, confirmation of "Was there consistency?"
【Days Off】
Systematic learning, exploration of principles, rational activities
