PSYC36H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Clinical Neuropsychology, Parietal Lobe, Neuropsychological Test
Document Summary
Test of verbal conceptualization and fluency: left temporal lobe. Which is a bunch of tests: right temporal lobe. Screening test for developmental apraxia of speech: right parietal. Look for the likelihood that a person is going to ignore a very specific space. Improvements and deterioriation depend on: nature of the cerebral insult. E. g. head injury or dat: age of patient, the impairment itself. Lecture 9: all nonprogressive brain disorders that have an end to their direct action on the brain. E. g. head injury, aneurysms, anoxia due to heart stoppage or the effects of anesthesia during surgery, infectious processes that are ultimately halted, temporary toxic condition, single strokes, and nutritional deficiencies. Progression brain disorders: behavioral deterioration tends to follow an often bumpy but fairly predictable downhill course for particular sets of functions that may deteriorate at varying rate, depending on the disease, stepwise v. slowly progressive deterioration, examples include.
