Physiological Psychology Flashcards
People with this type of aphasia have slow, labored speech. Comprehension of written and spoken language is relatively intact. Have impaired repetition and anomia.
Broca’s aphasia
This type of aphasia is characterized by relatively intact comprehension with fluent speech that contains many errors, impaired repetition, and anomia.
conduction aphasia
People with this type of aphasia is characterized by impaired comprehension of written and spoken language. Speech is fluent, but contains many word substitutions and errors.
Wernicke’s aphasia.
What does damage to the dorsolateral PFC do?
Produces dysexecutive syndrome–deficits in working memory, impaired judgment and insight, lack of planning ability, perseverative responses, apathy, and disinterest
Damage to______ causes disinhibited syndrome which is characterized by behavioral disinhibition, distractibility, emotional lability, and inappropriate euphoria. Acquired sociopathy
Orbitofrontal PFC
What is apathetic-akinetic syndrome and which PFC area is affected
Mediofrontal PFC. It is decreased motor movement and verbal output, lack of initiative and motivation. Flat or diminished affect.
Hemispatial neglect is due to damage of what side of the parital lobe?
Right (non dominant)
right-left disorientation, finger agnosia, agraphia, and acalculia is associated with which syndrome?
gerstmann’s syndrome
this involves the inability to plan and execute a task that requires a sequence of action (such as steps to make a sandwich)
ideational apraxia
this involves the inability to perform a motor activity in response to verbal comment such as “pretend to comb your hair” and is due to damage in the left (dominant parietal lobe)
ideomotor apraxia
Hypo/Hyperactivity in amygdala and hypo/hyperactivity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is associated with PTSD
hyper in amygdala and hypo in ventromedial prefrontal cortex
Loss of ___neurons in the___is believed to contribute to depression and cognitive impairment in patients with parkinson’s
norepinephrine; locus coeruleus
Symptoms of this disorder include increased rate of metabolism, elevated body temperature, heat intolerance, emotional lability, and reduced attention span
Hyperthyroidism
Which blood vessel is affected by stroke if person is experience hemiparaesis (leg), impaired insight and judgment, mutism, apathy, confusion.
anterior cerebral artery
Which artery is impacted if the person has contralateral sensory loss, vomiting, nausea and hemianopsia(loss of half of the visual field)
posterior cerebral artery
Which artery is affected when you see contralateral sensory loss, weakness, paralysis, aphasia?
Middle cenrebral artery
James -lange theory
Physiological reaction then emotion
Bear—>heart race—>fear
Cannon-Bard Theory
simultaneous experience of emotion and physical experience
Lazarus’s Cognitive Appraisal Theory
Physiological arousal follows cognitive appraisal
Which hemisphere of the cerebral cortex mediates positive emotions and what happens when its damanged?
Left (dominant); catastrophic reaction—depression, anxiety, fear, and paranoia
Which theory of emotion is associated with the “Fake it till you make it”?
James-Lange Theory
“facial feedback hypothesis”
Which theory involves attributing the experience of emotion to physiological arousal followed by assigning a cognitive label
Schacter and Singer’s two factor theory
Damage to these two areas can cause anterograde and retrograde amnesia
Thalamus and Mammillary bodies
Serotonin plays a role in which one (short term or long term memory)
Short term!
