    Cards (73)

    • 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
