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 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;

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

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

• corpus callosum

• cerebral cortex

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