parts of the brain Flashcards
(12 cards)
What functions are associated with the Frontal Lobe?
Speech, Problem Solving, Planning, Decision Making, Emotional Control, Attention
The Frontal Lobe is crucial for higher cognitive functions and emotional regulation.
What functions are associated with the Temporal Lobe?
Hearing, Memory, Speech, facial recognition, language
The Temporal Lobe plays a significant role in processing auditory information and memory.
What functions are associated with the Parietal Lobe?
Taste, Touch, Movement, body senses, spatial reasoning
The Parietal Lobe integrates sensory information from various modalities.
What function is primarily associated with the Occipital Lobe?
Vision
The Occipital Lobe is the main center for visual processing in the brain.
What functions are associated with the Cerebellum?
Balance, Movement, Posture
The Cerebellum is essential for coordination and fine motor control.
What is the cerebral cortex?
The convoluted (wrinkled) outer layer of the brain responsible for complex mental processes such as perception, learning, memory, language, and problem solving
The cerebral cortex is integral to higher-order brain functions.
What are the cerebral hemispheres?
Two halves of the cerebral cortex, almost symmetrical
Each hemisphere processes sensory data from the opposite side of the body.
What does the left hemisphere of the brain control?
Controls the right side of the body and is logical, contains mathematics, language, & speech
The left hemisphere is often associated with analytical and verbal tasks.
What does the right hemisphere of the brain control?
Controls the left side of the body and contains creativity and the arts, spatial and visual thinking, recognizing emotions
The right hemisphere is linked to holistic thought and artistic abilities.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is responsible for hearing, memory, speech, facial recognition, and language.
Temporal Lobe
This lobe is critical for auditory processing and memory retention.
Fill in the blank: The _______ is the main center for visual processing in the brain.
Occipital Lobe
It interprets visual stimuli from the eyes.
True or False: The Frontal Lobe is primarily responsible for visual processing.
False
The Frontal Lobe is involved in higher cognitive functions, not visual processing.
