(36 cards)
primary motor area function
executes motor patterns + fine voluntary motor control
secondary motor area function
create complex motor patterns
primary sensory area function
receive sensory data (vision, auditory, somatosensory) + sort it. does not interpret
secondary sensory area function
provide interpretation of sensory data + make sense of it
tertiary area sensory areas
sensation gets a name/language description
what is another name for the tertiary sensory area
wernicke’s
parieto-occipital-temporal association area function
spatial coordinates of the body, naming objects area
angular gyrus function

limbic association area
emotional drive, behavior, motivation for learning
working memory
the ability of the prefrontal cortex to keep tract of many bits of information simultaneously to be able to recall the information instantaneously

corpus callosum
what connects right + left temporal lobes
anterior commissure
what connects right + left occipital lobe
posterior commissure
what processes language comprehension + memory
wernicke’s
what area is in charge of motor for speech
broca’s area
prosopagnosia
inability to recognize faces
articulation
the muscular movements of the mouth, tongue, larynx, vocal cords that create sound
