PSYB65H3 Study Guide - Final Guide: Posterior Parietal Cortex, Superior Frontal Sulcus, Parietal Lobe
Document Summary
When factory analysis used to define spatial ability, made up of 6 skills that correspond to ways we interact with space: Targeting: how well you can throw object at target. Spatial orientation: how well you can recognize items even when they"re placed in different orientations, or directions. Spatial location memory: how well you can remember location of objects. Spatial visualization: how well you can imagine how well pieces of an object would go together. Disembedding: how well you can find figures hidden within other pictures. Spatial perception: how well you can determine where horizontal or vertical is in real world even if given distracting info. Neurologically normal people can identify location of dot more readily when it occurs in left visual field; interpreted as being indicative of superiority of rh (right hemisphere) for processing spatial location. Rh (especially right pre-frontal cortex) appears to be involved with recall of spatial location info.
