- Brain localisation
- Different areas of the brain are responsible for specific behaviours, processes or activities
- Theorised by Broca and Wernicke
- Brain areas in both hemispheres
- Motor area
- Back of the frontal lobes
- Controls voluntary movement
- Somatosensory area
- Front of parietal lobes
- Where sensory information from the skin is represented
- Visual area
- Occipital lobes
- Each eye sends information from the right visual field to the left visual cortex and vice versa
- Auditory area
- Temporal lobes
- Analyses speech-based information
- Motor area
- Language areas on the left side of the brain
- Broca's area
- Frontal lobe
- Language production
- Wernicke's area
- Temporal lobe
- Language processing
- Broca's area
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- Evidence from neurosurgery
- Evidence from brain scans
- Weaknesses
- Evidence that language might be holistic
- Strengths
- Different areas of the brain are responsible for specific behaviours, processes or activities
