Question 1

what are the four lobes of the brain

Answer 1

frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal

Question 2

what is left and what is right: Broca’s area, wernicke’s area

Answer 2

bro left, wern right

Question 3

what does the occipital lobe do?

Answer 3

process visual input from the eyes and from memory

Question 4

why is the occipital lobe so far away from the brain?

Answer 4

protection, efficient wiring

Question 5

what are the three distinct aspects of the occipital lobe

Answer 5

motion, colour, and shapes

Question 6

what does the temporal lobe do?

Answer 6

processes auditory input

Question 7

what is the posterior region of the left temporal lobe (Wernickes area) crucial for?

Answer 7

comprehending language

Question 8

what are the anterior and lateral regions involved in? (temporal lobe)

Answer 8

semantic memory, conceptual priming, and emotion processing

Question 9

what are the inferior regions in the temporal lobe do?

Answer 9

object recognition, perceptual priming

Question 10

what does the medial portion of the temporal lobe do?

Answer 10

contains the hippocampus and amygdala (subcortical)

Question 11

what does the parietial lobe do?

Answer 11

sensory and spatial abilities

Question 12

what is somatosensory?

Answer 12

touch

Question 13

does the left somatosensory cortex represent the left Side or the right side of the body?

Answer 13

right

Question 14

what are the posterior regions of the parietal lobe?

Answer 14

working memory, representing space and tool knowledge

Question 15

what does the frontal lobe do?

Answer 15

regulates emotions and behaviour

Question 16

what lobe and what area produces speech?

Answer 16

frontal lobe, Broca’s area

Question 17

define perceptual priming

Answer 17

Perceptual priming takes place when stimuli have similar forms.

For example, the word “goat” will provoke a fast response when it is near the word “boat” because the two words are perceptually similar.

Question 18

define conceputal priming?

Answer 18

I say green and you say purple

Question 19

What brain areas heavily implicated in perceptual priming?

Answer 19

left prefrontal cortex

Question 20

What brain areas heavily implicated in conceptual priming?

Answer 20

prefrontal cortex

Question 21

define aphasia (Broca’s)

Answer 21

People with Broca’s aphasia have damage that primarily affects the frontal lobe of the brain.

They often have right-sided weakness or paralysis of the arm and leg because the frontal lobe is also important for motor movements.

Question 22

If Wernickes area is temporal… what symptoms of aphasia?

Answer 22

Saying many words that don’t make sense.
Unable to understand the meaning of words.
Able to speak well in long sentences but they don’t make sense.

Question 23

what is the Clark Kent effect?

Answer 23

recognition memory for faces is reduced when glasses were added or removed after initial learning

Question 24

what does the clark Kent effect occur?

Answer 24
