Localisation

Localisation refers to

• the brain's ability to change over time.

• a chemical reaction in the brain.

• connecting brain areas with specific behaviours.

The cortex includes

• the amygdala.

• the parietal lobe.

• the temporal lobes.

What does Broca's aphasia mean?

• having a general impairment with the understanding of language.

• speech is not impaired.

• patients are unable to speak.

What techniques did Broca and Wernicke use to study individuals with brain lesions?

• measuring behaviour before and after induced brain damage.

• neuroimaging techniques.

• autopsy

• studying patients with naturally occurring brain lesions.

What is the aim of split-brain research?

• to see whether parts of the cortex take over functions of other parts of the cortex.

• to come up with a map of the cortex.

• to locate whether functions are located in a particular hemisphere.

Which researchers carried out split-brain research?

• Broca

• Penfield

• Sperry

Some results from split-brain research show that

• patients named an object when shown to left visual field.

• the left hemisphere performs better visual construction tasks.

• Only the left hemisphere is involved in emotional reactions.

Both hemispheres have been found by split-brain research to be involved in

• visual construction.

• language.

• showing emotion.
