Thought And Emotion Flashcards
Perception
Refers to the organization and identification of sensory inputs.
Four lobes of the cerebral cortex
Frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal.
Frontal lobe
Associated with motor control, decision-making, and long-term memory storage.
Parietal lobe
Carries out sensory processing of tactile information.
Occipital lobe
Carries out sensory processing of visual information.
Temporal lobe
Carries out sensory processing of auditory and olfactory information. Temporal lobe is also associated with emotion and language and memory formation.
Broca’s area
Located in the frontal lobe and is primarily involved in speech production. When patients experience damage to this area, they have difficulty enunciating and speaking fluently, but their ability to understand the language of others is unaffected-A condition known as broca’s aphasia or expressive aphasia.
Cognition
Refers to a wide range of internal mental activities, such as analyzing information, generating ideas, and problem-solving.
