Myers’ Psychology for AP Unit 3B Study Sheet Biological Bases of Behavior: 3B – The Brain Name: __________________________ The Tools of Discovery: Having Our Head Examined 1. Describe several techniques for studying the brain. LO #1 lesion – electroencephalogram (EEG) – CT (computed tomography) scan – PET (positron emission tomography) scan – MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) – fMRI (functional MRI) – Brain Structures 2. Describe the components of the brainstem, and summarize the functions of the brainstem, thalamus, and cerebellum. LO #2 brainstem – medulla – reticular – thalamus – cerebellum – limbic system – amygdala – hypothalamus – The Cerebral Cortex 3. Describe the structure of the cerebral cortex, and explain the various functions of the four lobes. LO #3 cerebral cortex – frontal lobe – parietal lobe – occipital lobe – temporal lobe – 4. Summarize some of the findings on the functions of the motor cortex and the sensory cortex, and discuss the importance of the association areas. motor cortex – sensory cortex – association areas – LO #4 5. Identify the brain areas involved in language, and explain how these areas coordinate to produce speech. aphasia – 6. Discuss the brain’s plasticity following injury or illness. LO #5 plasticity – neurogenesis – Our Divided Brain LO #6 7. Describe split-brain research, and explain how it helps us understand the functions of our left and right hemispheres. corpus callosum – split brain – Right-Left Differences in the Intact Brain 8. Describe the distinct functions of the brain’s two hemispheres, and discuss research findings on brain organization and handedness. LO #7 9. Describe research that leads cognitive neuroscientists to infer how the brains dual-processing affects our perception, memory, and attitudes on conscious and unconscious levels. The Brain and Consciousness LO #8 consciousness – cognitive neuroscience – dual processing –
