PSY 260 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Brainstem
Document Summary
When doing a routine on a balance beam, the following are parts of the brain that will be used: The brainstem- the brainstem is involved in everything a person does because it controls your breathing and heartbeat. The thalamus- the thalamus routes information from what we see, hear, taste, and touch so that the routine can be executed. The cerebellum- the cerebellum enables non verbal learning and memory. This is the part of the brain that would help to remember the routine. The pons- this part of the brain helps coordinate movement, making the routine possible. The cerebral cortex- the cerebral cortex plays a part in every action we do; it is the part of the brain that ultimately controls everything we do and processes information. The hippocampus- this part of the brain is linked to memory, which is needed to remember the routine you need to perform. Someone who demonstrates a permissive parenting style.
