PSYC 2260 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Henry Molaison, Frontal Lobe Disorder, Phineas Gage
Document Summary
Functionalism was studying the function of consciousness rather than the structure: perspectives on behavior; behavioral versus cognitive perspective. In fact, doctors believed what he had is called frontal lobe disorder today: whereas, molaison was an individual who suffered from epileptic seizures and after undergoing surgery exhibited memory loss. What are the main differences between the two techniques? fmri (functional magnetic resonance imaging) measures blood flow and oxygen levels. It is a good indication of which brain regions are engaged during a specific task. What aspects of cognition are attributed to them: the cerebral cortex has four lobes.
