mood‚ the organs‚ and hormones and how the body moves and operates. This paper will describe two parts of the brain‚ the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe and how they relate to human behavior including the effects of heredity. It will also contrast the two sections as they relate to behavior. It will then describe what could happen if there is damage to the specific lobes. There are five different sections of the brain. The brain is also divided by two hemispheres‚ the left hemisphere and the right

uestion : You are at a basketball game and the arena is packed; the crowd is evenly split between fans of the two teams. At one point‚ the referee makes a call. Half of the fans yell insults; the other half of the fans shout their approval. The event reminds you of the topic of today’s lecture in psychology class. What was the likely topic of the lecture?

Alec Connell Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to
Premium Brain Central nervous system Nervous system
The means by which the brain performs are referred to as neuroprocesses‚ which are related to learning and memory. The brain is the center of every function of the body that controls functional learning and memory and how the two are interdependent. Learning occurs when the memory is stimulated. The memory is activated once learning has taken place. With knowledge at the center of attention‚ it is imperative to stimulate the brain through lifelong learning to achieve longevity and quality of life

ROLE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN LEARNING AND MEMORY – Martinez and Kesner (1991) Aim: determining the role of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine on memory Method: * Rats were trained to go through a maze and get to the end‚ where they received food * Researcher injected one group of rats with scopolamine (blocks acetylcholine receptor sites thus decreasing available acetylcholine) * Injected second group of rats with physostigmine (blocks the production of cholinesterase – cholinesterase

known as lobes; these control the different functions such as: Frontal Lobe Planning and organising actions‚ learning tasks‚ initiating and stopping regular behaviour‚ abstract thought‚ logic‚ language and personality. Parietal Lobe Remembering sequences of actions‚ body sense(e.g. sensing where one limb is in relation to the rest of the body)‚ sentence construction‚ calculation‚ interpreting visual information received from the occipital lobe and locating objects. Occipital Lobe Processing

functions such as language‚ spatial judgements‚ reasoning and abstract notions (Martin‚ 2003). Whilst‚ the frontal lobe is famous for processing memory‚ attention‚ personality‚ and behaviour (Martin‚ 2003). Parietal lobe tends to control spatial and sensory information; whereas occipital lobe processes visual stimulus. Language‚ retrieval of memory and behaviour is administrated through temporal lobe (Martin‚ 2003). Finally‚ the limbic system tends to control emotion as well as short term memory (Martin‚

difficulties with their functions are: 1) Frontal Lobe – this is the part of the brain that controls behaviour‚ movement‚ personality and the interpretation of what is around us 2) Parietal Lobe – this is the part of the brain that controls the language we use‚ spacial awareness and recognition of places‚ objects and people. 3) Occipital Lobe – this is the part of the brain that controls eyesight and our ability to see 4) Temporal Lobe – this is the part of the brain that controls our speech

History of Synethesia July 11‚2006 History of Synesthesia Synesthesia has been known to medicine for almost three hundred years. After interest peaked between 1860 and 1930‚ it was forgotten‚ because psychology and neurology were premature sciences. Psychological theory was full with associations‚ and concepts of nervous tissue were insignificant. Subjective experience‚ such as synesthesia‚ was believed not a proper subject for scientific study.(pg3) Synesthesia’s history is interesting

” Many scientists “often take the view that all that is necessary to understand the mind is in the brain (Larson‚”Three of a Mind‚”pg1‚ par. 1).” For example‚ the cerebral cortex¹ of the brain consists of the occipital lobe‚ parietal lobe‚ temporal lobe‚ and frontal lobes. This is where Physical sensation is processed. One philosopher who argues the same is Smart. Smart states‚ “Although ‘I am in pain does not mean ‘my C-fibers are firing‚’ psychological laws ensure that ‘I am in pain’ is true
