Where is the major part of the somatosensory cortex located

Definition1/21

It is located just behind the central sulcus in the parietal lobe of the brain.

What is the name given to the valleys on the surface of the cerebral cortex

Definition1/21

sulci

Term1/21

What is the largest part of the forebrain

Definition1/21

cerebrum

This is the cerebrum, where higher-order thought processes occur. The cerebrum is responsible for mental processes such as memory recall, language, art, emotional control and many fine motor skills like the ability to write (or text).

Term1/21

What part of the brain helps to regulate drives such as hunger and thirst and also plays an important role in emotions

Definition1/21

The short answer: the Hypothalamus.

In detail:

Hunger: Satiety and feeding centers are present in hypothalamus.
Thirst: Osmoreceptors in anterior hypothalamus.
Emotions: Mamillary nuclei below posterior hypothalamus which are also a part of limbic system in mammilothalamic tract.

Other than this, Hypothalamus has following functions:

Regulates body temperature
Regulates activity of anterior pituitary gland
Controls circadian rhythmControls sleep-waking cycle
Integrates control of cardiovascular system
Integrates control of Autonomic Nervous System (Hypothalamus is also called as head ganglion of ANS)

Term1/21

What might be the result if a person's cerebellum was damaged

Definition1/21

The person might have difficulty with overall coordination and lose their senses because this is one of the most important parts of your brain and with out senses you couldn't see, hear, touch, taste, or smell anything

Term1/21

The autonomic nervous system includes which of these major components

Definition1/21

The peripheral nervous system includes which of these major components?

A: somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system

Term1/21

What are the four main components of the forebrain

Definition1/21

cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system

Term1/21

What should be used as a way to make an educated guess about the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable

Definition1/21

Inferential Statistics

Term1/21

What is the thick fiber network called that the cerebral hemispheres communicate with

Definition1/21

corpus callosum

Term1/21

Why was the accident involving Phineas Gage important to research scientists

Definition1/21

the incident showed that a severe trauma such as a steel rod going through a steel rod going through a persons frontal cortex dould lead to behavior change

How did John Watson define psychology

Definition1/21

the study of observable behavior

Definition1/21

What part of the brain is indicated in red?

A: parietal lobe

What part of the brain is indicated in red?

A: temporal lobe

ReSearch

Term1/21

What term is defined as a statement that the researcher believes to be true

Definition1/21

hypothesis

Term1/21

What theory was advanced to explain why researchers discovered that there were a number of centers that dealt with language in the left cerebral hemisphere and not the right

Definition1/21

The theory of lateralization was developed to explain this phenomenon. The fields of brain study are always changing as scientists and psychologists learn more and more about how the brain functions.

Term1/21

You decide to select ten percent of the inmates in a prison to receive a survey You decide you want your sample to be representative of the population Which sampling process would provide the most r

Definition1/21

a stratified random sample

Term1/21

In terms of validity what can be said about the depression test scores

Definition1/21

they are prob. not valid and the test is not mesured depression

Term1/21

Studies have found that individuals who had parts of the limbic system that were deteriorated may have suffered from what condition

Definition1/21

Studies have found that individuals who had parts of the limbic system that were deteriorated may have suffered from what condition?

alzheimers disease

Term1/21

What best describes the survey method of research

Definition1/21

The survey method of research is sometimes called a census survey. It relies on people responses to questions either with or without explanation.
