Brain lobes and function Flashcards
Hemispheric differentiation with most common deficit in left hemisphere include:
- Sequencing deficits
- Difficulty w/ logical progression of thought processes
- Decreased ability to distinguish details
- Memory deficits: Past and recent events
- Cautions and fearful
Hemispheric differentiation with most common deficit in right hemisphere include:
- Significant cognitive deficits, especially in safety judgement
- Lack of insight and unawareness of deficits
- Loss of prosody of speech and impaired pragmatics
- Attention deficits
- Impulsive and unrealistic
Deficits in this hemisphere demonstrate issues with the following:
- Sequencing
- Logical progression of thought processes
- Ability to distinguish details
- Memory deficits (past and recent)
- Cautious and fearful
Left hemispheric
Deficits in this hemisphere lead to issues with the following:
- Cognitive deficits, particularly with safety judgement
- Lack of insight/unaware of deficits
- Loss of prosody of speech and impaired pragmatics
- attention deficits
- impulsive and unrealistic
Right hemispheric
What lobe of the brain has these functions:
- Spatial working memory
- Working memory for language assembly
- Executive function
- Judgement, conscience and reasoning
- Abstract reasoning
- Personality
- Integrated motor sequences
- Planning motor behaviors
- Contralateral head and eye turning
Frontal lobes
Describe the functions of the frontal lobe
- Spatial working memory
- Working memory for language assembly
- Executive function
- Judgement, conscience and reasoning
- Abstract reasoning
- Personality
- Integrated motor sequences
- Planning motor behaviors
- Contralateral head and eye turning
Injury/disability with the frontal lobe can lead to what deficits?
- Poor executive functioning
- Impaired pragmatics, loss of inhibition
- Personality changes
- Impulsivity, delayed initiation
- Could be gaze preference/head deviation if there is injury to frontal eye fields
Injury/disability in what lobe of the brain, leads to deficits with the following:
- Poor executive functioning
- Impaired pragmatics, loss of inhibition
- Personality changes
- Impulsivity, delayed initiation
Frontal lobe
Describe the functions of the temporal lobes
- Memory
- Emotions
- Auditory discrimination
- Visual discrimination
- Ability to recognizes faces (including ones own)
What lobe of the brain demonstrates the following functions:
- Memory
- Emotions
- Auditory and visual discrimination
- Ability to recognize faces
Temporal lobe
Injury/deficits in this lobe present as:
- Left sided lesion: ST verbal memory loss
- Right sided lesion: STM loss
- Auditory input deficits
Temporal lobe
What deficits are associated with injury or disorder to the temporal lobe?
- Left side lesion: ST verbal memory loss
- Right side lesion: STM loss
- Auditory input deficits
Name the functions of the parietal lobe
- Spatial relations
- Attention
- Behavior
- Praxis
- Ability to perform calculations
What lobe of the brain does the following describe:
- Spatial relations
- Attention
- Behavior
- Praxis
- Ability to perform calculations
Parietal lobes
Deficits with this lobe of the brain are associated with the following issues:
- Spatial relation deficits
- Neglect/inattention
- Sensory input and integration deficits
- Poor personal space boundaries
- Emotional or labile behavior
- Apraxia
