the brain. The cerebrum is broken down into four major parts‚ called lobes: frontal lobe‚ parietal lobe‚ occipital lobe‚ and the temporal lobe. The frontal lobe is associated with the reasoning‚ planning‚ parts of speech‚ movement‚ emotions‚ and the problem solving. The parietal lobe associated with movement‚ orientation‚ recognition‚ and the perception of stimuli. The occipital lobe is with the visual processing. The temporal lobe is with the perception and recognition of auditory stimuli‚ memory

The biological approach is another main school in psychology which focuses on the body and mind and how our brains affect behaviour. Charles Darwin was one of the first psychologists to look into this approach when he created evolutionary psychology. Darwin believed in Natural Selection‚ that humans and animals changed and adapted in order to survive. The changes that increased survival would be inherited and passed to the next generation and those that decreased survival would be lost‚ this is natural

of the brain has many functions and lobes which perform certain functions. The frontal lobe is involved with “activating and controlling both fine and complex motor activities.” This involves speech. It is also involved with the executive functions‚ such as reasoning and rationalizing‚ among others. The occipital lobe is concerned with vision and processing the information received from the eyes. According to the reading‚ the “key functions of the parietal lobes include perceiving and integrating

In a study conducted at Boston’s McLean Hospital‚ psychologist Dr. D Yurgelun-Todd and colleagues placed teenagers inside of an MRI machine. In this study of the Frontal lobes (the seat of goal-oriented rational thinking) some teens (who were in between the ages of 11 and 17) were compared to a group of adults. In the study they were shown pictures of people who displayed the emotion fear on their faces. The younger

Our brain is composed of different units and lobes that work together but each part‚ of course‚ has a special function. We all ask ourselves‚ how is it that we learn? Do our senses have anything to do with getting new information into our brain? Technology now allows us to look into our brains and

The means by which the brain performs are referred to as neuroprocesses‚ which are related to learning and memory. The brain is the center of every function of the body that controls functional learning and memory and how the two are interdependent. Learning occurs when the memory is stimulated. The memory is activated once learning has taken place. With knowledge at the center of attention‚ it is imperative to stimulate the brain through lifelong learning to achieve longevity and quality of life
