PSYB57H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Medial Longitudinal Fissure, Phineas Gage, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
What he goes through in the lecture is the extent that we should know about the brain. The whole idea of certain areas of the brain could control certain processes led to more research areas of the brain. A lot of people today believe that certain functions are localized in specific. Franz: concluded that a different area of the brain could pick up the function that the damaged area disrupted. Lashley: suggested that learning was directly proportional to the damage itself rather than the location of the damage. See that the same areas of the brain light up but obviously it is: what this says is that: There are localizations of function in terms of specific processes and this doesn"t mean that that"s not the only thing. We also see that the brain is efficient happening there. Not like there is 2 different areas for these 2 different function.
