Document Summary
Psychology 302- midterm review (40 mc, 10 matching questions, 5 short answer) (ch. 1-4, 6-8) Cerebral laterization: partitioning of cognitive function preferentially into one hemisphere (cid:523)language processing, differentiated (cid:498)handedness(cid:499)(cid:524) Hemispheric specialization: each hemisphere is specialized for processing different types of information and controlling different types of behaviors (brain attention is about types of attention**) Left hemisphere: speech and language, focused attention, routines, categorizing. Right hemisphere: face recognition, global attention, unexpected events, novel stimuli, emotions/ fear responses (this hemisphere related to stress) Individual lateralization: each member of a species is lateralized in a different way. Population lateralization: most members of a species are lateralized in the same way. Schools of fish: it is shown that tighter schools are safer and the more lateralized fish tend to. Cognitive bias (from what we already think we know) Sociality: shoaling species example be in the middle of the schools. Predation pressure can lead to stronger lateralized behavior.
