Conditioning Xenophobia, which by proxy reinforces nationalism (Used also for militarism), stereotypical with regressive/repressive countries or those going that roads.

It rarely affects those with a developed prefrontal cortex, except for conservatives and liberals, as they primarily thrives on hierarchy.

• Q:

What makes those with a developed prefrontal cortex less susceptible by psychological & Informational warfare.

• A:

Here are some key reasons why those with a more developed prefrontal cortex may be less susceptible to psychological and informational warfare:

• Better cognitive control and regulation of emotions - The prefrontal cortex helps regulate emotions and impulse control. Those with more development in this area are less likely to be manipulated by appeals to fear, anger, or other emotions. They have greater emotional stability.

• Increased analytic and critical thinking - The prefrontal cortex supports higher reasoning, problem-solving, and decision making. This allows for more objective analysis of information rather than relying on cognitive shortcuts or gut reactions. Individuals can identify logical fallacies and misleading arguments.

• Improved cognitive flexibility - A hallmark of prefrontal development is the ability to consider multiple perspectives, conflicting information, and shades of gray. This guards against black-and-white thinking and prevents entrenchment in a single viewpoint.

• Enhanced working memory and attention - Prefrontal regions are crucial for key executive functions like working memory and focused attention. These skills allow individuals to critically evaluate messages and detect deception rather than passively accepting information.

• Better-defined personal values/beliefs - As the prefrontal cortex matures, especially into adulthood, individuals form clearer personal values, beliefs, and stances on issues. This coherence helps stabilize them against wildly shifting messages or propaganda.

• Increased resistance to misinformation - Higher cognitive function helps individuals logically analyze online content, deduce credibility of sources, and avoid thoughtless sharing of false material that can spread disinformation.

In summary, the advanced executive functioning and stability associated with prefrontal development provides resilience against simplistic propaganda meant to play on emotions, biases, and logical fallacies. Critical analysis skills, flexibility, working memory, and defined beliefs make these individuals less susceptible.
