Brain localisation Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

Neat and detailed handwritten summary of the AQA A-level Psychology topic Biopsychology. Includes all aspects of the curriculum: - nervous & endocrine system - neurons & synaptic transmission - localisation - lateralisation & slit-brain research - plasticity & functional recovery - studying the brain - Biorhythms: circadian infradian & ultradian

Detection VA - Visible. The presence or absence of a target. 2AFC recognition VA - Resolvable. "Something is there, what is it?" Most common measure and is n-alternate forced choice. Localisation VA - Discriminable. "Something is there but at what angle?" Most useful but is the hardest to measure because it is cortically limited: requires brain processing. Hyperacuity - This is a type of acuity that uses the eyes, activation of the primary visual cortex and the perceptual apparatus....

Gender bias Psychologists seek universality but bias may be inevitable (social historical contexts) Gender bias: psychological theory/research not accurately represent experience/behaviour of men + women Alpha bias: differences exaggerated, devalue women E.g. Freud = genuine psychological differences due to physiological differences Girls suffer from 'penis envy', femininity is failed masculinity Beta bias: differences minimised, needs of women ignored E.g. fight or flight researc...

This is a brief AO1 summary of localisation of function in the brain. It includes Broca and Wernike's areas as well as the case of Phineas Gage and the problems with case studies. It includes the functions of each area of the brain. Evaluation is missing but the case of Phineas Gage is a good evaluation point with the counter of the problems with case studies!
