Which Lobe?

• Frontal
• Parietal
• Temporal
• Occipital

Makes decisions, plans for the future, reasons, and carries out behaviors

• Frontal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

The corpus callosum

• Manages our understanding of speech and language
• cannot process messages sent from the left hand
• is a deep fissure in the cerebral cortex
• is a thick band of nerve fibres linking the two hemispheres of the brain

Which of the following statements is true?

• Each hemisphere's functions are fixed and cannot be performed by the other hemisphere
• The right hemisphere mostly specialises in verbal functions, while the left hemisphere specialises in non-verbal functions
• Both hemispheres operate quite independently 
• We usually draw on both hemipsheres to perform most functions 

Responsible for the interpretation of language/speech. 

• Broca's Area
• Werkicke's Area
• Premotor Area
• Visual Cortex

If a person has difficulty producing speech due to a stroke they will most likely be diagnosed with

• Broca's Aphasia

• Wernicke's Aphasia

• Visual Agnosia

• Neglect Syndrome

Stimulation at a point on which of the following may cause a person to report being touched on the knee?

• Motor Cortex

• Cerebellum

• Somatosensory cortex

• Temporal lobe

The most noticeable difference between human brains and other mammalian brains is the size of the

• association areas.

• motor cortex.

• frontal lobe.

• visual cortex.

By simply thinking about a move, which activates their brain cells, people may be able to move a robotic arm. This best illustrates

• hemispheric specialization.
• neurogenesis.
• constraint-induced therapy.
• neural prosthetics.
