What are the three levels of complexity in perception? | Primary cortex, secondary association cortex, and tertiary association cortex. | |
What is the function of the primary cortex? | Direct processing sensory and motor functions, see and feel object. | |
What is the function of the secondary association cortex? | First level of processing, name the object by sight or feel. | |
What is the function of the tertiary association cortex? | Complex integration, attach meaning, memories, or emotions to objects. | |
What are the perceptual functions associated with the frontal lobe? | Appropriate expression of emotions, combining/interpreting sensations, generating behavior patterns. | |
What are the perceptual functions associated with the temporal and limbic lobes? | Development of emotional states, memory of identification and meaning, processes communication, sense of humor. | |
What are the perceptual functions associated with the parietal lobe? | Spatial orientation, body scheme and image, logical ordering/temporal sequencing, development of abstract and symbolic reasoning (math and language). | |
What are the perceptual functions associated with the occipital lobe? | Integration and interpretation of visual info, perception of visual object spatial relations. | |
What are the functions associated with the left hemisphere? | Verbal, comprehension, control of right hand, hearing, academics, sequential, temporal, logic, analytical. | |
What are the functions associated with the right hemisphere? | Facial recognition, dimensional world relationships, non-verbal, visual spatial patterns/relationships, gestalt/total concept, singing and music, intuition, processing of emotional info. | |
What are the visuospatial skills? | Figure ground, position in space, spatial relations, visual memory, topographical orientation. | |
Define figure ground. | Ability to differentiate foreground from background, area separate from a larger field. | |
How would you test figure ground? | Have a patient find a certain city or town on the map. | |
Define position in space. | Correct interpretation of positional descriptions. | |
Define spatial relations. | Ability to differentiate self from objects in space as well as relate objects in space with each other. | |
How would you test spatial relations? | Two dimensional: patients copy drawings, three dimensional: obstacle course. | |
Define visual memory. | Ability to recall spatial info. | |
Define topographical orientation. | Able to find one’s way from one place to another. |
