Document Summary
Psyb65 chapter 21 spatial beh: note additional lecture ntoes were hand written. Anterograde and retrograde amnesia for spatial content. Damage = deficits in piloting and dead reckoning. Parietal lobe balint"s syndrome impairments in gaze direction and reaching movement. Right parietal lobe damage prod deficits in depth perception. Working memory impairments for spatial location: male advantage in using spatial mapping. Psyb65 chapter 22 attn, mental images and consciousness: attention selective awareness of pare of env = mental spotlight. We may not be aware of process. James taking possession of 1 train of thought: automatic processing. Allocate attn. within and bet sensory modalities.

Activation in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex when dividing attn. 4 mechanisms of attn: partial cortex enhances spatial attn, visual and posterior temp cortex selects object features. 3: frontal eye fields selects movements.
