Question 1 of 21

1

Explain what is meant by hemispheric lateralisation

Select one of the following:

The two halves of the human brain each have functional specialisations

To investigate the of each hemisphere, Sperry used 11 patients who had their severed to reduce severe symptoms. So the two hemispheres could not information.

In Sperry's 'Describe what you see' task, patients...

Select one or more of the following:

...named an image presented in their RVF but not their LVF
... couldn't name image presented in RVF but could draw it using their right hand
...couldn't name image presented in LVF but could draw it using their left hand
...named an image presented in their LVF but not their RVF

Explanation

Question 7 of 21

In Sperry's 'Recogniton by touch' task, patients...

Select one or more of the following:

...couldn't name an image presented in LVF but could select it from bag of objects using left hand
...couldn't name an image presented in RVF but could select it from bag of objects using right hand
...could name an image presented in RVF and could select an object
...could name an image presented in RVF and but could not select an object
...couldn't name an image presented in RVF and couldn't select an object

Explanation

Question 8 of 21

1

In Sperry's 'Composite words' task, 2 words were presented simultaneously one on each visual field. e.g. key on the LVF and ring on the RVF. Patients...

Select one or more of the following:

... could say LVF word - Key...
... could write LVF word - Key...
...and could say the RVF word - ring
...and could write the RVF word - ring

Explanation

Question 11 of 21

1

Label the main functions of each area

Drag an answer into the correct orange point.

controls voluntary movements

processes sensory info from skin

receives and processes visual info

processes sound and speech based info

Explanation

Question 12 of 21

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

The function of the motor cortex is to movements. It sends to on the opposite side of the body. The left controls on the side vice versa.

Explanation

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

The function of the auditory area is to process and based information. Info received by the left ear is processed by the vice versa.

Explanation

Question 14 of 21

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

The function of the somatosensory area is to process information from the - including heat, touch and . The more the area of the body, the part of the somatosensory area is to it. E.g. Over half of this are is for and face.

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

The function of the visual is to receive and process visual information. Each eye sends information from right visual to , vice versa.

Explanation

1

Damage to the Broca's area causes what?

Select one of the following:

Producing meaningless speech
Producing speech that is slow, laborious and lacking in fluency

Explanation

Question 17 of 21

1

Damage to Wernicke's area causes what?

Select one of the following:

Producing meaningless speech
Producing speech that is slow, laborious and lacking in fluency

Explanation

Question 18 of 21

1

What is each area responsible for?

Drag an answer into the correct orange point.

involved in speech production

responsible for language comprehension

Explanation

Question 19 of 21

Where is each area localised?

Drag an answer into the correct orange point.

localised in left temporal lobe

localised in left frontal lobe

found using scans that London taxi drivers have a large of matter in the than in non taxi drivers. This is an area associated with spatial and . This shows that certain are localised in areas of the brain, as theory

A limitation of localisation theory comes from ... criticised the claim that functions are localised, by proposing the theory- that and sensory functions are localised, but functions (e.g. ) are not. So not all functions may be localised
