Document Summary
Lab 2: experimental design and critical analysis of literature and data. Define principles of mass action, equipotentiality, and localization of brain function. Equipotentiality: incomplete lesions produced deficits that could be ameliorated by time or retraining; all regions of brain are sufficient for problem solving and memory. Indicate whether a scientific discovery supports the localization of function view or holistic view. Phrenology: mind was composed of a set of different mental faculties and were represented in a specific area of the brain: reflected in skull bone, holistic. Jean pierre flourens tested phrenology experimental through lesions and found localization of function in some aspects but not all. Holistic view: cognitive faculties result from coordinated activity of the brain as a whole. Paul broca: supported localization: tantan: couldn"t say anything but tan , large lesion in ventral region of frontal lobe. Gustav fritsch, eduard hitzig, david ferrier discovered cortices (localization)
