Localization of Function in the Brain Quiz

Which lobe of the brain is known as the visual processing center?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

What is the function of the motor cortex?

• Detect sensations from the opposite side of the body

• Plan and carry out voluntary motor movements on the opposite side of the body

• Receive auditory or sound sensations from the ears

• Produce and understand language

Where is the auditory cortex located?

• Frontal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

What is the function of Broca's area?

• Produce and understand language

• Receive auditory or sound sensations from the ears

• Detect sensations from the opposite side of the body

• Plan and carry out voluntary motor movements on the opposite side of the body

What is the main function of Verna Keys area?

• Produce and understand language

• Detect sensations from the opposite side of the body

• Plan and carry out voluntary motor movements on the opposite side of the body

• Receive auditory or sound sensations from the ears

What is the term for the loss of functional abilities like speech and memory as a result of brain damage in particular locations?

• Colobus stasium

• Aphasia

• Agnosia

• Neglect syndrome

What did Lashley's study in 1925 suggest about the brain's potentiality?

• Functions are completely localized in specific areas of the brain

• The brain's potentiality is dependent on the size of the cortex

• The entire brain has equal potentiality for all functions

• The brain's potentiality is dependent on the hemisphere

• It is not able to study healthy brains

• It is not able to identify specific brain areas responsible for functions

• It is not able to identify the functions of the occipital lobe

• It is not able to study language processing tasks

What modern scientific research technique has been used to study language processing tasks in healthy brains?

• MRI scan

• CT scan

• X-ray

• PET scan
