Areas of the brain
- Frontal Lobe
- Temporal Lobe
- Parietal Lobe
- Occipital Lobe
- Cerebellum
- Movement, thought, reasoning, behavior, memory, and smell are all processed in this part of the brain.
- Behavior, memory, hearing, emotions, and vision pathways are all processed in this part of the brain.
- Sensation, hearing, intellect, thought, reasoning, memory, abstract thought, speech, motor and sensory functions are all processed in this part of the brain.
- Vision is processed in this part of the brain
- Balance and coordination are processed in this part of the brain.
-
Language
- Neurolinguistics
- Language Acquisition
- Universal Grammar Theory
- The study of the physical structure of the brain as it relates to the production of language and comprehension.
- The process through which learners acquire language.
- Refers to the brains's highly adaptable template that allows it to deduce the structure of the spoken native language from mere exposure.
-
Memory
- Sensory Memory
- Short-term Memory
- Long-term Memory
- Memory Processes
-
Shortest term in the element of memory. They buffer the stimuli received through the five senses, which are retained accurately but very brief.
- Smells are more quickly and strongly associated with memories than any other sense.
- Temporary recall of the information which is being processed at any point in time.
-
Intended for storage of information over a long period of time.
- Different types of long term memory distinguished which include explicit, implicit, declarative, procedural, retrospective, and prospective memory.
- The types of memory processes consist of encoding, storage, consolidation, and retrieval.
-
Perception
- Visual Perception
- Color Perception
- Depth Perception
- Perception of Movement
-
Amodal Perception
- Perception of the whole of a physical structure when only parts of it affect the sensory receptors.
- Haptic Perception
- Speech Perception
- The brain's ability to interpret the visible light and the information it contains reaching the eyes thus enabling eyesight to take place.
-
The capacity to distinguish objects based on wavelengths (frequencies) of the light they reflect or emit.
- The nervous system derives color by comparing the responses to light from several types of cone photo-receptors.
- The brain's visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions.
- Involves both visual information from the retina and messages from the muscles around the eye as it follows and object.
-
Sensory receptors from the whole body. (Active touch)
- Active touch refers a combination of somatosensory perception of patterns on the skin surface and proprioception of hand position and conformation.
- The processes by which humans are able to interpret and understand the sounds used in language.
