A
wenicke’s area
-damage different specific area of LEFT cerebral cortex could not UNDERSTAND language (parietal/temporal region)
7
Q
brodmann
A
-distinguished different areas of the cortex based on cellular structure (52 areas assumed to be different functional regions)
8
Q
Phineas Gage
A
showed that prefrontal cortex is important for personality
9
Q
parallel distributed processing
A
- motor, sensory, and cognitive functions are served by more than one functional region/pathway, so it made functional regions hard to accept theoretically
- however, other functions are less general and more specific
