Localisation of function in the brain refers to the idea that different areas of the brain are responsible for specific cognitive
functions
The visual cortex is located in the temporal lobes.
False
The auditory cortex is located in the
temporal
lobes.
Match the brain area with its function:
Visual Cortex ↔️ Processes visual information
Auditory Cortex ↔️ Processes auditory information
The visual areas in the brain are located in the
occipital
lobes.
What is the function of the primary visual cortex (V1)?
Processes basic visual elements
Match the visual area with its function:
Primary Visual Cortex (V1) ↔️ Processes lines, colors, movement
Secondary Visual Areas (V2-V5) ↔️ Integrate and interpret visual elements
The primary visual cortex (V1) transforms raw visual data into basic
elements
like lines and edges.
Where are the visual association areas located in the brain?
Surrounding the primary visual cortex
The primary visual cortex (V1) is located in the temporal lobes.
False
The primary visual cortex (V1) processes basic visual elements like lines, colors, and
movement
.
Order the steps of visual information processing in the brain:
1️⃣ Raw visual data is received by the primary visual cortex
2️⃣ Basic visual elements are processed by V1
3️⃣ Secondary visual areas integrate and interpret the data
What does V4 specialize in within the visual association areas?
Color vision
The Primary Visual Cortex (V1) is located in the
occipital
What type of visual data does the Primary Visual Cortex (V1) process?
Raw visual signals
The Primary Visual Cortex (V1) transforms raw visual signals into
fundamental
elements like lines, edges, colors, and movement.
Arrange the visual association areas (V2-V5) based on their primary functions.
1️⃣ V2: Processes complex shapes and orientations
2️⃣ V3: Depth perception and spatial relationships
3️⃣ V4: Involved in color vision
4️⃣ V5: Detects motion
Match the visual area with its primary function:
V2 ↔️ Complex shapes and orientations
V3 ↔️ Depth perception
V4 ↔️ Color vision
V5 ↔️ Motion detection
The auditory areas in the brain are located in the
temporal
Where is the Primary Auditory Cortex (A1) located?
Temporal lobes
What type of auditory data does the Primary Auditory Cortex (A1) process?
Raw auditory signals
The Secondary Auditory Areas (A2) integrate and interpret the basic elements processed by the
Primary Auditory Cortex
(A1).
The Secondary Auditory Areas (A2) allow for the recognition and understanding of
sounds
What is the function of the Secondary Auditory Areas (A2)?
Sound and speech recognition
The Primary Auditory Cortex (
A1
) transforms raw auditory signals into frequencies and pitch.
Match the brain area with its primary function:
Visual Cortex ↔️ Processes visual information
Auditory Cortex ↔️ Processes auditory information
Broca's Area ↔️ Speech production
Wernicke's Area ↔️ Speech comprehension
Localisation of function refers to the idea that different areas of the brain are responsible for specific cognitive
functions
What two main visual areas are located in the occipital lobes?
V1 and V2-V5
The Primary Visual Cortex (V1) processes basic
elements
like lines, colors, and movement.
Where are the Secondary Visual Areas (V2-V5) located in relation to V1?
Surrounding V1
Which visual area is involved in processing complex shapes and orientations?
V2
Which visual area is primarily responsible for color vision?
V4
Which visual area helps in depth perception and spatial relationships?
V3
The auditory areas in the brain are located in the temporal lobes and consist of the Primary Auditory Cortex (A1) and
Secondary Auditory Areas
(A2).
What is the location of the primary auditory cortex (A1)?
Temporal lobes
The primary auditory cortex (A1) processes basic auditory elements like frequencies and
pitch
Where are the secondary auditory areas (A2) located?
Surrounding A1
The secondary auditory areas (
A2
) integrate and interpret sounds and speech.
Which lobes are the auditory areas in the brain located within?
Temporal lobes
The primary auditory cortex transforms raw auditory signals into basic elements like frequencies and
pitch
