What are the 4 sections in the cerebral cortex?
Frontal lobe
Parietal lobe
Occipital lobe
Temporal lobe
What is the Frontal lobe responsible for?
The Frontal lobe is responsible for problem solving, decision making, and motor skills.
Where is the Frontal lobe located?
Front of the brain
What is the Parietal lobe responsible for?
Responsible for sensory processes such as pain, touch and ability to feel temperature.
Where is the Parietal lobe located?
Middle section of the brain
What is the Occipital lobe responsible for?
Responsible for interpreting visual stimuli and information such as identifying colours and recognising words.
Where is the Occipital lobe located?
Back of the brain
What is the Temporal lobe responsible for?
Responsible for auditory information such as interpreting sounds and hearing different languages.
Where is the Temporal lobe located?
Bottom section of the brain
Where is the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) located?
Frontal lobe region of the brain
What is the function of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)?
It’s involved in impulse control and response inhibition, and evaluating potential rewards.
What did Ishai’s (2007) study find about the orbitofrontal cortex?
Founds that observing beauty in the opposite sex raised the orbitofrontal cortex’s activity, therefore provides evidence that the localisation of brain function plays a role in the formation of romantic relationships.
What is the assumption of Localisation of Brain Function?
Behaviour can be explained in terms of localisation of brain function
