Test Review• In your groups, compare results to determine why you

missed the questions that you missed.

• Look for patterns in your performance. Do you:• study specifics too much? too little? • are there areas of the content that you did not review

enough or that you find more challenging to master?• do you have a difficult time with negative construction

stems?• do you talk yourself out of the best answer?

How important is the brain?• Mike the headless chicken

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqDjRCHyjTY • Was this just reflex or was this an aberration? Brain stem

must have still been there to keep him alive. Trachea could help him breathe?

• How did he move?

Review HW• Explain the four lobes that are in each brain hemisphere

• What do they do?

• What is the motor cortex?• How is this possible? https://

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjfrqbItrx8• What are association areas and why are they important?

The Cerebral Cortex

Association Areas

More intelligent animals have increased “uncommitted” or association areas of the cortex

Language

Aphasia is an impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca’s area (impaired speaking) or to

Wernicke’s area (impaired understanding).

Dream Recall Techniques

• You have to want to remember

• Reread over past dreams• Be patient and do not force a memory

• Keep a journal• Next to your bed.• Write down everything you

remember as soon as you wake up even if it doesn’t make sense to you at the time.

• Keep a journal from 9/13-9/19
