Electroencephalography

Question 32

fMRI

Answer 32

Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Question 33

3 theories on how the brain works

Answer 33

1. Localization (phrenology- study of the skull)- mental functions localized in the brain
2. Holism- mental functions occur across the whole brain and cannot be broken down into specific areas
3. Connectionism- bridges the gap between the localization and holism

Question 34

Paul Broca

Answer 34

left frontal portion of the brain. This area is still known today as Broca’s area. Because of Broca’s work, we know that this area of the brain is a key area in production of speech.

Question 35

Karl Wernike

Answer 35

the left posterior portion of the brain responsible for understanding language. This area became known as Wernicke’s area.

Question 36

Postmortem Dissection

Answer 36

when researchers study the physical brain of a person who displayed a particular behaviour while they were alive that suggested possible brain damage.

Question 37

‎World Health Organizations international classification of functioning, disability, and health

Answer 37

(ICF) a framework for describing and organizing information on functioning and disability. It provides a standard language and a conceptual basis for the definition and measurement of health and disability.
