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?
Review HW, pgs 64-68

• Brainstem

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 9/139/19
