damaged lower left frontal lobe; could understand speech but not able to articulate a reply (Broca's area-motor speech production)
1 of 12
Patients with Wernike's aphasia
produce speech but meaningless 'word salad' (Wernicke's area-language comprehension)
2 of 12
Phineas Gage
tampering iron severed pre-frontal cortex- went from reliable to aggressive and irresponsible
3 of 12
HM (Henry Molaison)
removed hippocampus in temporal lobe to redue epileptic seizures- left him with severe memory loss
4 of 12
types of memory loss HM suffered
anterograde and retrograde amnesia (inability to form memories after op. & couldn't retrieve memos 19months-11 years prior op
5 of 12
Learnt from HM
hippocampus for consolidating memories
6 of 12
KF
LTM fine, but STM damaged- only remember 2 items instead of 7+; causes problem with MSM since states info must be retained &rehearsed in STM before encoded into LTM
7 of 12
Clive Wearing
severe damage to hippocampus; lost ability to form new LTM, though STM fully functioned and maintained procedural memory though damaged EM- couldn't remember getting married, but knew he had a wife
8 of 12
HM
could learn new skills- conflicting evidence for MSM- new skills encoded to LTM with damaged STM-memory more intricate
9 of 12
KF #2
could still recall visual information using his STM but struggled with auditory and verbal information-STM more complex
10 of 12
Evaluation-weaknesses
problem with generalising from singe case studies- case outcome due unique set of variables; e.g.Gage &individual reaction from facial disfigurement
11 of 12
Evaluation-strengths
highly scientific-highly controlled experiments and brain scanning techniques
