Task 8

Question 1

What is the localisation of fuction?

Question 2

What is the lesion method?

Question 3

What are principles of lesion method?

Question 4

What are the assumptions of lesion method?

Question 5

What are limitations of lesion method?

Question 6

What are disadvantages of lesion Methods (compared to fMRI)?

Question 7

What aer advantages to lesion method (compared to fMRI)?

Question 8

What are single dissociations?

Answer 8

• serial processing
• hierarchical structure
• not reciprocal dissciation of the function
• dependent
• including interaction

Question 9

What are double dissociations?

Answer 9

• parallel processing
• reciprocal dissociation of function
• seperate functions
• independent

Question 10

What is the relevance of anatomical infomration about the lesion - in lesion method?

Question 11

What are the relative advantages of single-case studies and group studies?

Question 12

What are single case studies?

Question 13

What are group studies?

Answer 13

• indetifying regions commonly damaged in individuals iwth the same deficit
• lesions make it difficult to precisely identify the region that is required for a function onthe basis of a single patient
• more representative of genreal population that single pation

-> ever individual has a different brain (= individuals need to be transformed to a standard stereotaxic space)
