EXAM 1 Neuro associated with domain

Question 1

Premotor Cortex (Attention)

Answer 1

Controls attention, shifting, coordination, planning of movement. Responsible for directing and controlling your attention, ensuring you stay focused on the task at hand. (studying for an exam while ignoring distractions.)

Question 2

Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) (Attention)

Answer 2

Selective attention, empathy, social interactions. (driving in heavy traffic while staying focused on the road, stay focused & calm despite distractions)

Question 2

Primary region associated with Attention

Answer 2

Prefrontal Cortex

Question 3

Attention

Answer 3

Right hemisphere network that mediates attention allocation to focal spatial stimuli

Question 4

Sustained -attention

Answer 4

The right frontal lobe seems to be more dominant for sustained attention

Question 5

Attention-switching

Answer 5

The left prefrontal cortex provides a principle role in attention-switching functions

Question 6

Anterior structures of the right hemisphere

Answer 6

contribute to complex spatial attention abilities including scanning and selection

Question 7

Visual Attention

Answer 7

Left brain attends to right visual field, Right brain attends to left visual field.

Question 8

Memory

Answer 8

Temporal lobe and hippocampus important for storage of new memories and retrieval of existing memories.

Question 9

Long-term memory sites

Answer 9

integration areas of temporo-parietal lobes

Question 10

Retrieval Process (Memory)

Answer 10

Retrieval process is mediated by the frontal lobe and associations with other cortical and subcortical areas that trigger the retrieval of memories.

Question 11

Hippocampus

Answer 11

Associated with declarative memory, semantic memory, and episodic memory (Parietal lobe also important for episodic) Formation of memories and memory recognition. Consolidation from STM to LTM

Question 12

Memory

Answer 12

Frontal lobe and subcortical structures important for encoding information and retrieving through their role in “executive” or “supervisory” functions (e.g., attention, organization; temporal memory).

Question 13

Prefrontal Cortex (Memory)

Answer 13

Important for working memory

Question 14

Striatum (Memory)

Answer 14

Important for procedural memory

Question 15

Amygdala (Memory)

Answer 15

Important for declarative memory and emotional
content for memory

Question 16

Cerebellum (Memory)

Answer 16

Important for learned motor skills (procedural memory for motor movements, coordination, and reflexes)

Question 17

Thalamus (Memory)

Answer 17

Important for processing and sensory integration during the formation and storage of memory; important for learning and maintenance of working memory

Question 18

Fusiform Gyrus:

Answer 18

AKA occipitotemporal gyrus. remembering (and naming) seen objects, multisensory integration, and perception

Question 19

Basal Ganglia
