PSYC1020 Study Guide - Final Guide: Relay Race, Lateral Sulcus, Naturalistic Observation
Document Summary
Psyc1020: introduction to psychology: physiological & cognitive. Longitudinal fissure: cut down the line in the middle top. Corpus callosum: bundle of nerve axon fibers connecting the two hemispheres. Brodmann"s guess: structural differences may reflect functional differences. Important for executive functions e. g. reasoning, planning, inhibition, problem- solving. Parts of speech, movement. Closest to the central sulcus. Cortical site helps control movements of the body. Sends signals to other areas of the brain for voluntary movement initiation. Finer movements take up more space in the motor cortex. Posterior to the central sulcus. Responsible of mapping out the space around you and how physically close you are to other things. At the posterior part of the brain. Processes form, motion, orientation, color, light, dimensions etc. Recognition of faces is also located here. Located inferior to the lateral sulcus. Perception and recognition of auditory stimuli (music, hearing, sound frequency), some aspects of language (prosody, comprehension, organization) and memory. Loosely connected network of structures.
