PSY4342 - OBERLE - TXST - EXAM with correct answers 2024

Function of: Brainstem correct answers located at the base of the brain, this is a collection of structures connecting the brain to the spinal cord that plays a role in regulating automatic functions (i.e., breathing, digestion, body temperature) Function of: Frontal Lobe correct answers located in the front of the brain, this helps to plan and perform complex actions Function of: Parietal Lobe correct answers located at the "peak" of the brain, this is responsible for our sense of touch and our sense of space. (i.e., helps determine the difference between silk and sandpaper) Function of: Temporal Lobe correct answers located behind the temples, this makes it possible to hear and remember what you have done Function of: Occipital Lobe correct answers located in "out back" of the brain, this allows you to see and recognize the world Function of: Cerebellum correct answers located behind and slightly below the cerebral cortez, this is responsible for motor control and coordination. It is also very important for learning that involves physical action. Function of: Thalamus correct answers located near the center of the brain, this is a gateway through which all sensory information (sights, sounds, touch, etc.) enter the brain. This information is then relayed to the primary sensory cortices. Function of: Hippocampus correct answers located inside the temporal lobes, this encodes new memories and plays a partial role in retrieval. It is important for learning new information and remembering events in your life. Function of: Amygdala correct answers located at the tip of the hippocampus, this is responsible for adding emotional context to memories. Function of: Basal Ganglia correct answers located near the thalamus, this is important for planning and producing skilled movements (i.e., throwing a football, juggling) Function of: Primary Motor Cortex (M1) correct answers located in the temporal lobe and next to the Primary Somatosensory Cortex (S1), this is responsible for sending signals to the muscles. This sends output to the brainstem, which in turn sends instructions down the spinal cord to activate motor fibers that control the muscles. Function of: Primary Auditory Cortex (A1) correct answers located in the temporal lobe, this is responsible for processing auditory stimuli.
