Document Summary

Third exam tends to be higher than the second exam. Loss of fine movements due to something wrong with area 4. Note: motor impairments will be observed on the contralateral side of cortical damage. Voluntary gaze is controlled partly in area 8. In order to check for damage, they figure this out by testing controlled of voluntary eye gaze. Visual search test: target, figure out which of these are the same thing. If something starts moving, eyes will go there immediately. Frontal lobe damage: no issues with automatic response. Must look at opposite direction once the other starts. Must stop automatic action and consciously say, no the other way! This is where frontal lobe damage can occur. Frontal lesions cause difficulty in response inhibition (i. e. correction rarely as good as in normal symptoms) When you walk, things look different depending on where you put your head.
