PSYC 2260 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Phineas Gage, Medulla Oblongata, Prefrontal Cortex
Document Summary
Cerebral cortex: the cerebral cortex has four lobes. January 11, 2019: frontal movement and executive functions (e. g. , planning, decision-making, partial reception and integration of sensory information, occipital visual information, temporal memory, language, audition, taste and smell. In the superior frontal sulcus, it is only until the age of 35, do you see a decrease, plateauing off. An inability to meet the demands of adult life, such as securing employment or forming adult relationships, could lead to numerous negative outcomes for youth as they transition into young adulthood. Initially, they were asked to play alone, the tests showed they were all relatively crashing about the same amount of times. Prefrontal cortex: executive functioning, planning, decision-making, strategy implementation, working memory. Patient investigation: patient work can assume some form of casualty, neuroimaging all about correlation of brain activity with cognition, how/what aspects of cognition are impacted by brain injury, helps depict causal relations between brain and cognition.
