Q

Primary sensory cortex

A

Discriminates among different intensities (loud or soft) and qualities (sharp or fluffy) of sensory information. This is where you sense if it hot or cold, sharp or soft, etc

Q

Secondary sensory cortex

A

Performs more complex analysis of sensation. Where you are able to tell WHAT it is, especially with touch like I’m touching my phone.

31
Q

Parietotemporal association cortex

A

Cognitive intelligence
Problem-solving
Comprehension of communication
Understanding of spatial relationships. Also includes things we don’t see like how far my house is from school.

32

35
Q

Five structures recognize emotional stimuli and generate and perceive emotions are

A 
Amygdala
Area 25
Mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus
Ventral striatum
Anterior insula
36
Q

Working memory

A

Maintains goal-relevant information for a short time.

Is essential for language, problem-solving, mental navigation, and reasoning.

37
Q

Declarative memory

A

Facts, events, concepts, and locations
Refers to recollections that can be easily verbalized
Requires attention during recall

38
Q

Procedural memory

A

Refers to the recall of skills and habits.

AKA - skill, habit, nonconscious memory, or implicit memory

39
Q

Implicit memory

A

unconscious memory also known as non declarative memory. So like lyrics to a song

40
Q

Explicit memory

A

Conscious long term memory, also known as declarative memory. So like remembering details on a test

41
Q

Wernicke’s area

A

Comprehension of spoken language

42
Q

Broca’s area

A

Production of speech

Correlates words when writing

43
Q

Receptive aphasia

A

Damage to Wernicke’s area. Cannot understand spoken language but can hear it. These patients make up words and weird sentences

44
Q

Expressive aphasia

A

Damage to Broca’s area. Unable to generate appropriate words but can understand everything
