EDUC 3750U Lecture Notes - Reticular Formation, Frontal Lobe, Occipital Lobe
Document Summary
The body is mapped out on the brain --> open-brain surgery. Parietal lobe: like wearing earmuffs --> two bands on your head. Occipital lobe --> at the back of head: vision center. Frontal lobe --> executive function: the parent in your brain, planning, executing behaviour, decision making, learning from mistakes, morals (right and wrong), logical thinking, rationalizing emotions. Female brain handles speech differently than the male brain. Just the left for male, but both sides for females. Females more capable of communication because more part of the brain is dedicated to that. Temporal lobe --: wernicke"s area --> speech and auditory, most hearing is on left side (left ear, damage to left ear can caused deafness, but not so much for right side, broca vs. wernicke. Broca --> hard time formulating speech but can understand. Pronouncing speech --> a story would come out garbled and nonsensical. Wernicke --> you can understand but can"t formulate.
