Broca's Aphasia |
Occurs due to damage to Broca's Area (frontal lobe). Impaired speech production. Nouns and verbs are predominately used, sometimes cues are required. Frustration evident. |
|
Wernicke's Aphasia |
Occurs due to damage to Wernicke's area (temporal lobe). Impaired speech comprehension. Fluent speech yet it is nonsense. No knowledge evident of disorder. |
|
Spatial Neglect |
Occurs due to damage to parietal lobe. Half of the victims world is ignored. Usually sight yet sometimes other sense or a combination of senses are involved. Attentional disorder. They will see neglected half when attention is brought to it. E.g half of a picture is drawn, not notice someone approaching their left side. |
|
Frontal Lobe |
Involved in higher order mental functions. Involved in attention, problem solving planning, concept of time, meaning of concepts, personality, control and expression of emotions. Determines behavioral responses. |
|
Primary Motor Cortex |
Controls voluntary body movements. The left primary motor cortex controls the right side of the body and vise versa. |
|
Broca's Area |
Responsible for production of articulate speech. It coordinates the muscles of the mouth and throat. Involved in correct grammatical structure. |
|
Parietal Lobe |
Involved in attention, spatial perception and reasoning. Bodily awareness based on sensations of touch, pressure, heat, pain and movement. |
|
Somato Sensory Cortex |
Receives and processes sensory information from the skin and body. Enable use to perceive touch, pressure, pain, heat and movement. |
|
Temporal Lobe |
Primarily involved in hearing. Also involved in object and facial recognition, memory, linking emotions to memory. Determining features of our environment that we perceive and remember. Appropriate emotional responses based on memory of senses. |
|
Primary Auditory Cortex |
Receive and process different feature of sound including frequency (pitch) and amplitude (loudness). Verbal sounds in left (words), non verbal in right (music). |
|
Occipital Lobe |
Primarily involved in vision. Interacts with other lobes frequently as information about vision is sent to other lobes. |
|
Primary Visual Cortex |
Processing and receiving visual information. Specialized to respond to different features of visual information, such as orientation of a line, edges, shape, motion and colour. Select, organize and integrate visual info. |
|
Hemispheric Specialization |
The idea that one hemisphere exerts greater control over particular functions. Although both are involved in most mental processes. |
|
Left Specializations |
Breaks info into smaller details. Logical reasoning and problem solving. Verbal. Language production and comprehension. Analytical. |
|
Right Specializations |
Artistic endeavors, emotional reasoning, music and art appreciation. Sees information as a whole. Spatial and visual thinking, creation of new ideas. |
|
Foundings of Sperry and Gazaniga |
The left hemisphere is responsible for language production and comprehension, and the right is responsible for object identification. The hemispheres exchange information. Hemispheres independently control body parts in the right or left. |
|
Ethical Issues |
Justice: Why the chosen participant over others Respect for Persons: Rights and dignity protected Integrity: genuine intent of contribution to scientific community. |
|
Peripheral NS |
Carry's info to and from the CNS to the body. |
|
Somatic NS |
Transmission of sensory info from the body's receptors to the CNS. (Afferent) Transference of motor messages from the CNS to the skeletal muscles. (Efferent) |
|
Autonomic NS |
Connects the CNS to internal muscles, organs and glands involved in non voluntary functions. Provides feedback to the brain. |
|
Sympathetic NS |
Increases activity of most visceral muscles, organs and glands, in response to stress, threat or vigorous activity. Provides immediate survival response. (flight or fight) |
|
Parasympathetic NS |
Decrease activity of visceral muscles, organs and glands to return the body to homeostasis. |
