Diamond Withers BEH 225 Professor Bates 8/26/2014 The brain is partitioned into four main lobes‚ which include; the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ the temporal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are situated on the front and the top

The ear is an organ of the body that is used for hearing and balance. It is connected to the brain by the auditory nerve and is composed of three divisions‚ the external ear‚ the middle ear‚ and the inner ear. The greater part of which is enclosed within the temporal bone. The ear is looked upon as a miniature receiver‚ amplifier and signal-processing system. The structure of the outer ear catching sound waves as they move into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then hit the eardrum

The limbic system is a neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Three structures that are part of the limbic system are the hypothalamus‚ hippocampus‚ and the amygdala. These three structures work together as a whole making it feasible for the body to function properly. The hypothalamus is a small‚ but busiest part of the brain located just below the thalamus and is mainly concerned with homeostasis. It is an important link in the command chain governing bodily maintenance

Method Participants The participants consisted of 4 patients who had undergone surgery 3-5 years prior-to the experiment due to severe seizures. Participants ranged from 37 to 63 years of age‚ and a mean age of 51 years (SD = 10.24). Design This natural case study design included Independent variables (a) the visual field‚ and (b) the hand of the participant. These were measured by the participant’s intellectual processing of information. The Dependent variables (a) the participants ability

To what extent is it true that people are either ‘left brained’ or ‘right brained’? The term ‘left-brained’ or ‘right-brained’ is commonly used to refer to certain personality types. It is assumed that people who use the right side of their brains are more creative‚ thoughtful and subjective‚ while those who use the left side are more logical‚ detail-oriented and analytical (Novotney‚ 2013). In order to acknowledge these differences this essay will highlight what is meant by lateralisation of the
