Parts of the Brain General Psychology Quiz

What is the primary function of the Cerebral Cortex?

• Process and integrate sensory information, control voluntary movements, and higher cognitive functions

• Store long-term memories

• Regulate body temperature and heart rate

• Produce hormones for growth and development

Where is the Cerebral Cortex located in the brain?

• Hippocampus

• Cerebrum

• Brainstem

• Cerebellum

What are the main components of the Limbic System?

• thalamus, basal ganglia, and corpus callosum

• cerebellum, medulla oblongata, and pons

• frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe

• amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus

How does the Limbic System influence emotions and behavior?

• It processes and regulates emotions, memory, and motivation.

• It only influences memory and decision-making

• It has no impact on emotions and behavior

• It is responsible for physical coordination and movement

What vital functions are controlled by the Brainstem?

• Breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure

• Memory, decision making, and problem solving

• Vision, hearing, and taste perception

• Digestion, muscle movement, and temperature regulation

Where is the Brainstem located in the brain?

• In the spinal cord

• At the base of the brain

• In the left hemisphere

• On top of the brain

What is the role of the Cerebellum in motor control?

• Coordinates voluntary movements

• Regulates body temperature

• Stores long-term memories

• Controls the sense of smell

How does damage to the Cerebellum affect coordination and balance?

• Improved coordination and balance

• Loss of memory and concentration

• Loss of coordination and balance

• No effect on coordination and balance

What specific functions are associated with the Frontal Lobe?

• Emotional regulation

• Memory storage and retrieval

• Digestion and metabolism

• Decision making, problem solving, and voluntary movement

How does the Frontal Lobe contribute to decision-making and problem-solving?

• It is responsible for regulating body temperature

• It controls our sense of smell

• It controls our ability to plan, organize, and make decisions.

• It is involved in controlling muscle movements
