Biological Approach - Assumption 2: Localisation Of Brain Function Flashcards
localisation of function means…
Every part of your brain has specific functions
what is lateralisation of function refering to
the 2 hemispheres controls different parts of the body
what are the 4 lobes of the cerebral cortex
- Frontal lobe
- Temporal lobe
- occipital lobe
-parietal lobe
what is the frontal lobe for
- Cognition
-planning, problem solving, personality and higher order thinking
what is the temporal lobe for
- Auditory
- hearing, selective listening, speech, language, memory
what is the occipital lobe for
-vision
- processes information from our eyes, visual cortex
what is the parietal lobe for
- Sensory information
- perception, spatial awareness, touch, motor control
what makes up the inner brain
- Hippocampus
-Prefrontal cortex - Amygdala
what is the role of the hippocampus
long term memories
what is the role of the prefrontal cortex
High-level reasoning and decision making, and cognitive control
what is the role of the Amygdala
controls emotions (anger/fear)
what is the Broca area for
speech
what is Wernicke’s area for
language comprehension
What is the example from psychology
