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

hemispheres of the brain & the cerebral cortex - ANSWER -The brain

revealed semantic and episodic memories are located in different

-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
