Psychology - Brain Review

A blind person may have experienced damage to her:

• occipital lobe
• prefrontal area
• Broca's area
• auditory association area

The four regions of the cerebral cortex are referred to as:

• lesions
• lobes
• pons
• corpus callosum

Split brain operations are done to

• shrink tumors
• increase memory
• help speech disorders
• help stop seizures

If a head injury results in someone no longer being able to hear, which part of the brain may have been damaged?

• temporal lobe
• occipital lobe
• parietal lobe
• frontal lobe

Speech that is jumbled and not understandable is a sign of:

• Wernicke's Aphasia
• a split brain operation
• Broca's aphasia
• sensory aphasia

Area of the brain that gives us the opportunity to learn and store complex and abstract info. 

• corpus callosum
• ventricles
• premotor area
• cerebral cortex

This area controls breathing, heart-rate, and reflexes

• pons
• medulla oblongata
• cerebral cortex
• cerebrum

Which of the following is the correct matching of brain lobe regions?

• White=parietal, Pink=temporal, Blue=frontal, & Green=occipital
• White=frontal, Pink=parietal, Blue=occipital & Green=temporal
• White=temporal, Pink=occipital, Blue=frontal & Green=parietal
• White=frontal, Pink=occipital, Blue=temporal, & Green=parietal

Hemisphere that is associated with Verbal and Mathematical abilities
