LOBES/FUNCTIONS Flashcards
is exclusively devoted to processing visual info
OCCIPITAL
Helps to coordinate the functions of other lobes
FRONTAL
contains brocas areas which is critical for production of articulate, fluent speech
FRONTAL
is largely responsible for spatial reasoning and judging distance
PARIETAL
influences the expression of our personality and regulates our emotions
FRONTAL
More of this cortex is devoted to parts of the body that have greater sensitivity, such as lips and tongue
FRONTAL
plays a crucial role in the formation of new memories via the hippocampus (inner temporal lobe)
TEMPORAL
enables us to recognize and respond to emotional signals from others, such as recognising happiness or sadness
TEMPORAL
contains the primary auditory cortex specialized to respond to different features of sounds, such as pitch and tone
TEMPORAL
involved in processing info visually when using short-term memory or imagining objects or places
PARIETAL
has specialised association areas dedicated to processing info related to facial recognition
TEMPORAL
involved in reasoning planning problem solving and symbolic thinking
FRONTAL
contains the primary visual cortex that first registers visual sensory memory sent from the eyes
OCCIPITAL
contains association areas that are involved when interrogating visual info with other info such as sounds or language
OCCIPITAL
association cortex integrates info from other brain areas before coordinating a response
Frontal
plays a key role in paying attention and the regulation of our behavior
FRONTAL
receives and processes bodily info such as touch and temp and muscle position
PARIETAL
contains the somatosensory cortex that receives and processes sensory info from the opposite sides of the body
PARIETAL
plans and initiates voluntary body movements via the primary motor cortex
FRONTAL
contains a specialized neurons that respond to specific visual info such as orientation color and line.
OCCIPITAL
primarily involved in auditory perception-processing sounds
TEMPORAL
plays a crucial roll in the comprehension of speech via wernickes area
TEMPORAL
