Document Summary
Four lobes: frontal (top forehead to top of brain) Forms goals and objectives, devises plans to attain goals. Selects cognitive skills to implement plans, applies in order. Evaluates actions as success or failures relative to our intentions. Two broad types of cognitive operations: ability to form plans and guide behavior by internal representation, capacity of switching gears when something unexpected happens. Goals: diminished rage, decreased aggression, passive, emotionally inhibited. Damage results in: mood regulation, unable to inhibit instant gratification urges, and impulse control is non-existent after lobotomy. Trouble with switching tasks, or new rules (ex, wisonsin card sorting task, colors, vs. shape vs. #s) Receives input from where pathways from sensory cortices: parietal (top back) where pathways. In charge of all voluntary movement: temporal (above ears) what pathways. Auditory cortex: above ears, area on temporal lobe. Secondary auditory cortex: occipital (all the way to the back of head) Processes sight with the occipital lobe (works together)
