Motor area - ANSWER -Back of the frontal lobe.
Controls voluntary movements in opposite side of the body.
Visual area - ANSWER -In the occipital lobe at the back of the brain.
each eye sends info from the right visual field to the left visual cortex
and opposite.
damage to the left hemisphere, can produce blindness to the right
visual field of both eyes.
auditory area - ANSWER -in the temporal lobe.
analyses speech-based information. damage
may produce partial hearing loss.
,broca's area - ANSWER -Language=left hemisphere. small area
in left frontal lobe responsible for speech production.
Damage causes Broca's aphasia= slow, influent speech (like in Tan).
Localisation of function - ANSWER -theory that different areas of the
brain are responsible for different behaviours, processes or activities
Brain structure - ANSWER -
hemispheres of the brain & the cerebral cortex - ANSWER -The brain
is divided into 2 symmetrical halves called left&right hemispheres.
outer layer is cerebral cortex like a tea cosy covering the inner parts
of the brain. cortex appears grey
cerebral cortex - ANSWER -outer layer is cerebral cortex like a tea
cosy covering the inner parts of the brain. cortex appears grey due to
the location of the cell bodies.
Somatosensory area - ANSWER -front of both parietal lobes. Where
sensory information from the skin (e.g related to touch, heat,
pressure, etc) is represented
, Wernicke's area - ANSWER -in left temporal lobe. responsible
for language comprehension.
result in wernicke's aphasia when damaged- often produce nonsense
words as part of the content of their speech.
localisation of function- strengths - ANSWER --LTM study by Tulving
revealed semantic and episodic memories are located in different
parts of the frontal cortex. There now exists a number of
sophisticated&objective methods for measuring brain activity,
providing sound evidence of localisation.
-surgically removing areas of the brain to control aspects of
behaviour developed in the 1950's- were brutal and imprecises. a
study reported on 44 OCD patients who had a cingulotomy. At a 32
week follow up, 1/3 met the criteria for successful response to
surgery&14% for partial response. success suggests symptoms and
behaviours associated with serious mental disorders are localised.
-unique cases of neurological damage support localisation theory, e.g
Phineas gage in accident. he survived by the damage to his brain
affected his personality. the change in gage's temperament following
