AP Psych: Brain

Which brain structure filters and relays sensory info to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex?

• thalamus

• hypothalamus

• hippocampus

• cerebellum

The hypothalamus does not process the sense of (a)   through the cerebral cortex

The hypothalamus is located in which lobe?

• parietal

• frontal

• occipital

• rear

Places on the cerebral cortex not dedicated to either sensory or motor functions

• reference areas

• gray matter

• association areas

• glial cells

The following association areas are specific to language functions (check all that apply)

• Watson's

• Wernicke's

• Broca's

• Pauls;

Largest areas of the brain, functions include language, complex thoughts, consciousness, sensory and motor processing

• cerebral cortex

• cerebellum

• corpus callosum

• cerebrum

When playing a piano, the (a)   will help you keep your balance and coordinate the movements of your hands and feet

"Little brain" responsible for controlling balance, coordinating fine motor movements, creation of procedural memories

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

• corpus callosum

• cerebral cortex

When playing the piano, the (a)   will enable you to balance on the bench as well as coordinate the movement of your hands and feet as you play the song

Damage to which of the following brain structures would affect the processing of new explicit memories

• hypothalamus

• hippocampus

• thalamus

• limbic system
