Q

Slide 7: Match model of cortical function with the theory:

(1) Associative processing
(2) Holistic processing
(3) Localized function

(A) Lesion ==> loose that function
(B) Lesion ==> don’t lose function entirely; lose it partially because other parts of the brain network help pick-up slack and retain that function
(C) Lesion ==> can significantly impair function but it depends particularly on where the lesion occurred

A

(1) = (C)
(2) = (B)
(3) = (A)
