PSYC 309 Study Guide - Visual Perception, Auditory Cortex, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
Anything is in our mind (internal and external)is the representation info in the brain. 3 things: nerons in the brain is the representational medium, different parts of the brain represents different things. Left hemisphere - seat of language and processes in a logical and sequential order. Right hemisphere face, visual and processes intuitively, holistically, and randomly. Parietal lobe - integrating sensory information from various parts of the body. Temporal lobe - the temporal lobe is involved in auditory perception and is home to the primary auditory cortex. It is also important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision. The temporal lobe contains the hippocampus and plays a key role in the formation of long-term memory. Occipital lobe - is the visual processing center. Process the thread- we need to detect it first and then proceed it. Amygdale- info from the what pathway and then reimage here, detect whether the stimuli is a threat.
