Document Summary

Very high in spatial abilities and be creative. Left parietal lobe people with lesions have difficulty representing numbers. Most people represent numbers in an ascending left to right motion. Opposite happened to the right high = faster, low = slower. Mapping between how you rep numbers and how it impacts you ability to plan a movement to a target. Movement time: mt: the interval between the initiation of a response (end of motor rt) to the completion of a movement. Total response time: trt: rt (reaction time) + mt (movement time) reaction time ends when movements begins. Qualitative description: verbal descriptions, time-lapse photography. Movement kinematics: branch of describing pure" motion of an effector, how far, how fast. Rate of change of an objects position with respect to time. Change in velocity of an object during movement. Mr has a large lesion almost all of left parietal lobe.
