, What are the 4 stages of analogical reasoning? 1. Comprehension of the target problem. 2. Remembering a similar source problem for
which a solution is already known. 3. The source and target are composed and mapped.
4. The source problem is adapted to produce a solution to the target problem.
Where in the brain are concepts formed? Basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex
Where in the brain are propositions formed? left hemisphere
Where in the brain are rules formed? Basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex
Where in the brain are analogies formed? left prefrontal cortex
Where in the brain are images formed? Occipital lobe
What is Phrenology? Attributing character traits to an individual based on relative prominence of regions on
the surface of his or her skull, has to do with localization of function
Phineas Gage (Case Study) Phineas Gage: railroad worker who survived a brain injury that changed his personality
and behavior;
case study examined the localization of brain function: frontal lobe controls personality
and behavior
What is cognitive neuroscience? the study of the structure and processes underlying cognitive function
Synapse space between neurons through which they communicate, through either electrical or
chemical signals
Action potential flow and exchange of ions and potassium in response to a stimulus
what are the two types of brain damage techniques? lesion studies and case study method
what is brain mapping? similar to regular mapping, goal is to create a 3D image of the brain that represents both
structure and function
Mapping by electrophysiological means/single cell recording gives info about connections that link one part of the brain to other parts of the brained
principles according to which these links are ordered.
