Phrenology-the detailed study of the shape and size of the cranium as a supposed indication of character and mental abilities. Phrenology is a process that involves observing and/or feeling the skull to determine an individual's psychological attributes. The idea that different parts of the brain do different things is called localization of function. Phrenology could have been used to feel the bumps on the brain and this could have given hints to the people doing this and it would have been an easy way to figure out that there were different parts of the brain and they could tell this by feeling how different the bumps were. 2.

Aphasia is loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage. Broca’s aphasia is a type of aphasia caused by a lesion in Broca's area of the brain, characterized by misarticulated speech and lack of grammatical morphemes. Expand. Also called motor aphasia. Wernicke’s aphasia is, also known as receptive aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia, is a type of aphasia in which an individual is unable to understand language in its written or spoken form.
5. Identify the role each of the following in listening to and taking notes during a psychology lecture: hippocampus, cerebellum, cerebral cortex The hippocampus is a brain structure crucial for creating long-lasting memories has been observed to be active in response to recurring musical phrases while listening to music. Thus, the hippocampal involvement in long-term memory may be less specific than previously thought, indicating that short and long-term memory processes may depend on each other after all. The cerebellum is traditionally and primarily viewed as a motor structure, it is important to recognize that the cerebellum is a developmental derivative of the dorsal half of the neural tube, which is the embryological source of sensory structures in humans. Therefore, the cerebellum is also a major associative center for sensory input integration, including auditory stimuli, which will be the focus of this article. The cerebral cortex If you actually perform music, your frontal lobe for planning, and your motor and sensory cortex will activate as well. Because playing music requires coordination of motor control, somatosensory touch and auditory information, most musicians are known to have developed a greater ability than the average person to use both
