PsychologybiopsychologyA2/A-levelAQA Created by: francescabonner28Created on: 26-02-23 13:09 what does localisation of function mean the theory that different areas of the Brain are responsible for specific behaviours, processes or activities 1 of 27 the main part of the brain is divided into what 2 hemispheres left and right 2 of 27 what are the four lobes of the brain called frontal lobe parietal lobe occipital lobe temporal lobe 3 of 27 what is at the back of the frontal lobe (both hemispheres) the motor area 4 of 27 what does the motor area control voluntary movement in the opposite side of the body 5 of 27 what is at the front of the parietal lobe (both hemispheres) somatosensory area 6 of 27 what is represented somatosensory area it is where sensory information from the skin is represented receptors for our face and hands occupy over half the somatosensory area 7 of 27 what is in the back of the occipital lobe visual area 8 of 27 what does the visual area do receives and processes visual information 9 of 27 what's located in the temporal lobe the auditory area 10 of 27 what does the auditory area do analyses speech-based information damage to this area may produce partial hearing loss 11 of 27 what hemisphere is language restricted to the left hemisphere 12 of 27 where is Broca's area and what does it do left frontal lobe responsible for speech production 13 of 27 what happens when there is damage to Broca's area Broca's aphasia which is charectised by speech that slow and lacking in fluency + have difficulty with conjunctions 14 of 27 where is Wernicke's area and what does it do left temporal lobe responsible for for language understanding 15 of 27 what happens when there is damage to Wernicke's area Wernicke's aphasia no problem producing language but will often produce nonsense words 16 of 27 ao3 a03 17 of 27 what is the support from neurosurgery Doughtery et al 18 of 27 what did they find 44% of people with a cingultomy had a 30% reduction in OCD symptoms 19 of 27 what does this suggest OCD is associated with the cingulate gyrus behaviours associated with mental disorders may be localised 20 of 27 support from what case study Phineas Cage 21 of 27 what happened to Phineas Cage damage to frontal lobe pole through face he was able to retain functioning and only experienced changes to his personality 22 of 27 limitation of case studies cannot generalise from individual cases may lack validity 23 of 27 who found counter evidence from animal studies Lashley 24 of 27 what did Lashley do and find removed 10-50% of cortex in rats who were learning a maze less brain =worse at doing maze 25 of 27 what do Lashely's findings suggest cognitive processes like learning is not localised but distributed more holistically 26 of 27 what is a further limitation of localisation theory language is too comply to be localised researches now believe language is not only in Wernecke's and Broca's area 27 of 27
