Q

how do we know that the body schema is modular (different body parts processed in different brain regions)?

23
Q

observed actions are represented within the same body schema =

A

interpersonal

24
Q

what are the 3 types of body representation?

A

body schema, body image, body semantics

25
Q

sensorimotor representation that guides action =

A

body schema

26
Q

i can feel that i have a body =

A

body percept

27
Q

awareness of what the body looks like/is made up of =

A

body concept

28
Q

names for the different body parts =

A

body sematics

29
Q

what type of task did Heed & Azanon (2014) conduct to see if body posture affects perception?

A

temporal order judgement task

30
Q

what were the findings from Heed & Azanon’s study?

A

ppts did worse when arms crossed as body schema interfered, they mixed up which hand was stimulated when arms crossed

31
Q

when does the body schema start to develop?

A

6 months

32
Q

at 6 months the body schema starts to interfere with what?

A

tactile orientation

33
Q

what were the results from Begum ali et al, 2015 study on babies body schemas?

A

at 4 months no difference when feet were crossed (no inference) at 6 months more correct responses when feet were uncrossed (50% chance of correct reach > showed interference from body schema)

34
Q

do incongruent or congruent distractors lead to longer reaction times?

A

incongruent

35
Q

delay =

A

incongruent reaction time - congruent reaction time

36
Q

cross modal congruency was shown when a delay was due to ?

A

a visual distractor

37
Q

distractors lead to _____ delays

A

response

38
Q

same hand distractors lead to _______ delays than different hand distractors

A

longer

39
Q

the space immediately surrounding our bodies =

A

peripersonal space (PPS)

40
Q

objects within this can be grasped and manipulated immediately, not fixed (can contract and expand) =

A

PPS

41
Q

PPS can change depending on what 2 things?

A

environment, body posture

42
Q

what can be incorporated into the body schema during use to extend the body?

A

tools

43
Q

what effects also apply during tool use?

A

cross modal congruency effects

44
Q

when the tools are crossed (not arms) the _____ delay effects are seen during arm crossing. This shows tools become part of ______ _____

A

same, body schema

45
Q

list some of the disorders of body schema

A

Alice in Wonderland syndrome, autopagnosia, finger agnosia, phantom limbs

46
Q

distortion of size perception that can affect the whole body=

A

alice in wonderland syndrome

47
Q

body parts might appear smaller =

A

microsomatognosia

48
Q

body parts might appear bigger =

A

macrosomatognosia

49
Q

what is alice in wonderland syndrome associated with?

A

childhood and migraines

50
Q

inability to locate body, loss of spatial unity of body, patients know body parts but not how they fit together =

A

autopagnosia

51
Q

fused percept of fingers and no concept of individual fingers =

A

52
Q

after limb loss presence of limbs still felt, includes agency over limb =

A

phantom limbs

53
Q

what are phantom limbs associated with?

A

pain

54
Q

how can phantom limbs change in size over time?

A

shrink, telescoping (body schema is not updated correctly)

55
Q

what is the neural basis of the body schema?

A

cross modal neurons

56
Q

neurons respond to both ______ and ______ stimuli

A

visual, tactile

57
Q

how are tools reflected in neural responses?

A

expansion of PPS during tool use
