Lobes/function Flashcards
Frontal lobe function
- voluntary movement, intellect, orientation
- broca’s, speech and concentration
- personality, temper, judgement, executive functions, reasoning, self-awareness
Frontal lobe impairments
Contra weakness
Perseveration, inattention
Personality changes and antisocial behavior
Broca’s aphasia
Delayed or poor indication, emotional liability
Parietal function
- touch, kinesthesia, vibration, temperature
- info from other areas re hearing, vision, motor, sensory, memory
- interpret language and words
- spatial and visual perception
- provides meaning for objects
Parietal impairment
- dominant hemisphere agraphia, alexia, agnosia
- non dominant hemisphere depressing apraxia, anosognosia
- contra sensory
- impaired language comprehension
Temporal function
Primary auditory and olfactory processing
Wernicke’s
Interpret other’s emotions and reactions
Temporal impairment
Learning deficit Wernike’s aphasia Antisocial, aggressive behavior Difficulty with facial recognition Difficulty with memory/memory loss Inability to categorize objects
Occipital function
Main processing for visual information
-lights, colors, shapes
Judgement of distance, 3D
Occipital impairment
Homonymous hemaniopsia
Impaired extraocular muscle movements and visual deficits
Reading and writing impairment
Cortical blindness with bilateral lobe involvement
