Module 6

Question 1

forebrain

Answer 1

higher mental functions (thinking), impacts personality, decision making, intelligence
self regulation (control)
executive functions: set goals, make plans, control attention and emotions and monitor progress

Question 2

cerebral cortex (aka cerebrum)

Answer 2

8 lobes
composed of frontal lobes, parietal lobes, and temporal lobes

Question 3

frontal lobes

Answer 3

planning, decision making, reasoning, speech, memories, and emotions
includes motor cortex and broca’s area

Question 4

motor cortex

Answer 4

a strip located within cortex, edge of frontal lobe cortex
located in frontal lobes
controls voluntary muscles and movements
maps opposite side of body from hemisphere location (left motor cortex maps right side of body)

Question 5

broca’s area

Answer 5

produces speech (located in the left frontal lobe)

Question 6

parietal lobe

Answer 6

regulate spatial location, attention, and consciousness

Question 7

somatosensory cortex

Answer 7

located within parietal lobe, registers sensation (doesn’t cross over, hemisphere location maps the same side of body, right hemisphere maps right side of body)

Question 8

temporal lobes

Answer 8

process auditory info and store visual memories
includes hippocampus, primary auditory cortex, Wernicke’s area, and occipital lobes

Question 9

hippocampus

Answer 9

memory storage (encoding visual imagery)

Question 10

primary auditory cortex and auditory association area

Answer 10

picks up sound and then tells you what type of sound it is (sound recognition)

Question 11

wernicke’s area

Answer 11

language comprehension (left lobe)

Question 12

occipital lobes

Answer 12

process visual sensations, doesn’t interpret
takes info in, begins to organize

Question 13

primary visual cortex

Answer 13

located in occipital lobes
process and integrate images
pieces images together (still doesn’t interpret)
sends info to temporal lobe through the thalamus
