13
New cards
Dorsolateral Prefrontal Association Area
Which association area is in charge of goal-oriented behavior & self awareness functions?
14
New cards
Parietotemporal Association Area
Which association area is in charge of sensory integration, problem solving, understanding language and spacial relationships?
15
New cards
Ventral & Medial Dorsal Prefrontal Association
Which association area is in charge of emotion, motivation & personality?

20
New cards
Agnosia
What is the loss of the sensation known as? (term)
21
New cards
Receptive aphasia
What is the disorder when an individual cannot really understand spoken language and all other language is impacted. Patients will make up words, substitute wrong words, disordered syntax? (all without realizing what they're truly saying)
22
New cards
Expressive Aphasia
What is the disorder when an individual can understand written and verbal language but unable to generate the appropriate words? (patients are aware of the nonsense articulations)
23
New cards
Helps us to know how our body is anatomically arranged in the moment
How does spatial perception affect our understanding of our body?
24
New cards
Enables us locate objects in space & navigate accurately

25
New cards
Hemineglect Syndrome
What is the syndrome we see associated with a right parietal lob lesion? (seen post stroke)
26
New cards
An individuals brain cannot process input for the left eye. So they're field of perception is only everything to the right.
What is hemineglect syndrome? (usually damage to the right side)
