[blank_start]Associative[blank_end] agnosia refers to a failure of recognition due to defective retrieval of knowledge pertinent to a given stimulus. The problem is due to faulty sensory-specific memory; the patient is unable to recognize the object despite being able to perceive it normally. [blank_start]Apperceptive[blank_end] agnosia refers to a defective integration of otherwise normally perceived components of a stimulus. The problem is more a failure of perception; these patients fail to recognize a stimulus because they cannot integrate the perceptual elements of the stimulus.

Antworten
-
temporal lobes
-
occipital lobes
-
brain stem
-
central sulcus
Frage 111
Frage
The [blank_start]medial[blank_end] temporal lobe contains several structures critical for memory including the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus.
Antworten
-
medial
-
ventral
-
caudal
-
lateral
Frage 112
Frage
Damage to the [blank_start]hippocampus[blank_end] and adjacent areas of the temporal lobe is responsible for the memory impairment that emerges in early Alzheimer's disease.
Antworten
-
hippocampus
-
amygdala
-
putamen
-
internal capsule
Frage 113
Frage
emotional disturbances are associated with lesions involving the hippocampus as well as the [blank_start]amygdala[blank_end] and the [blank_start]uncus[blank_end].
Antworten
-
amygdala
-
optic chiasm
-
medulla oblongata

corpus callosum
Frage 114
Frage
Many patients with focal damage to the [blank_start]hippocampus[blank_end] can still recognize single faces, words, objects etc as well as cognitively intact persons. Memory requiring relationships between single stimuli requires the [blank_start]hippocampus[blank_end]. This division of labor explains the severity of memory disorder resulting from these lesions. Even when amnesic patients retain some new learning ability, this new information lack superordinate organizing context.

-
hippocampus

hippocampus
Frage 115
Frage
Which type of memory is the hippocampus MOST CLOSELY associated with
Antworten
-
Older autobiographical memories
-
Recently aqcuired declarative information
-
Old declariative memories
-
Recently aquired procedural memory
Frage 116
Frage
Which is true of older memories:
Antworten
-
Whilst the hippocampus probably plays a role in the recollection of old memories. Old memories are most likely largely distributed throughout the cerebral cortex, and do not rely on the hippocampus in the same way as newly acquired information.
-
Old (declarative) memories are primarily stored in the hippocampus.
-
Whilst the hippocampus probably plays a role in the recollection of old memories. Old memories are most likely largely stored in the basal ganglia, and do not rely on the hippocampus in the same way as newly acquired information.
Frage 117
Frage
Damage to the left hippocampus would mostly like disturb the learning of what type of information?
Antworten
-
Learning information such as names, new words and verbal facts.
-
Learning informations such as new faces, geographical routes and musical melodies.
Frage 118
Frage

Antworten
-
Right hippocampus
-
Left hippocampus
-
Corpus callosum
-
Anterior horn of the lateral ventricle
Frage 119
Frage
The hippocampus is not involved in learning non-declarative information such as motor skills.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 120
Frage
The medial temporal lobes are not involved in working memory, nor are they involved in maintaining or processing information over very short intervals.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 121
Frage
Retrieval of information involving a single sensory modality appears to be most strongly associated with the associated cortex adjacent to the primary sense area. For example, retrieval of visual information is impaired by lesions of the visual association cortex of the occipital lobe.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 122
Frage
The [blank_start]amygdala[blank_end] is involved in processing emotional stimuli from all major sensory modalities.
Antworten
-
amygdala
-
pons
Frage 123
Frage
Lesions to the [blank_start]premotor division[blank_end] of the frontal lobe do not result in loss of the ability to move, but rather disrupt the integration of the motor components of complex acts, producing discontinuous, uncoordinated or impaired motor skills.
Antworten
-
premotor division
-
primary motor cortex
-
prefrontal portion
Frage 124
Frage
Language deficit following damage to the left premotor area most likely do no involve comprehension but rather the ability to organise and produce speech sounds. This is known as oral [blank_start]apraxia[blank_end].
Antworten
-
apraxia
Frage 125
Frage
Damage to Broca's area results in
Antworten
-
expressive aphasia
-
fluent aphasia
Frage 126
Frage
Lesions to the area of the right hemisphere, in the equivalent but contralateral to Broca's area may result in flat monotonic speech and difficulties with involving fluent prosody.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 127
Frage
The [blank_start]prefrontal[blank_end] lobes are where already correlated incoming information from all sources, external and internal, conscious and unconscious, memory storage and visceral arousal centres is integrated and enters ongoing activity
Antworten
-
prefrontal
-
temporal
-
primary motor
-
parietal
Frage 128
Frage

Antworten
-
ventromedial
-
dorsolateral
-
parietal
-
superior medial

Amygdala
-
Parietal Lobe
-
Prefrontal cortex
