TRUE

Limbic System and Prefrontal Cortex
What are the two brain systems that Steinberg mentions in his theory regarding adolescents?
The author is amused by the Phrenologists' belief in the science of ____________ on the head. They use them to identify thirty-seven 'organs' of the brain.
Bumps
What is the "theory of why risk-taking peaks in adolescents?"
Adolescents get a kick out of taking risks (a function of the limbic system) and aren't always able to stop themselves doing so in the heat of the moment (a skill that relies on the prefrontal cortex).”
Who explains Steinberg and Casey’s theories and how her own team helped provide evidence for them.
Kate Mills, Anne-Lise Goddings and Sarah-Jayne Blakemore
A. Localizers and Benevolence
B. Localizers and Any function of on part
C. Whole Brainers and Veneration
D. Whole Brainers and Benevolence
A. Localizers and Benevolence
In the long run, the Localizers will turn out to be somewhat right about localization but completely wrong about phrenological organs. The Whole Brainers will turn out to be right about the complex interconnections of the brain but wrong about the brain acting as a whole.
List the three technological advanced equipment used in the 20th century that determined this.
1. MRIs
2. CT Scans
3. Brain Vox

Localizers
controls
functions
“Dr. Sizer’s report is wonderful news for the Localizers/Phrenologists” because...
A. The way Phineas acts after the accident proves that an injury to a specific part of the brain affects all of its functions.
B. The way Phineas acts after the accident proves that an injury to a specific part of the brain affects a specific function of the brain.
B. The way Phineas acts after the accident proves that an injury to a specific part of the brain affects a specific function of the brain.
They believe that thoughts and commands can originate anywhere in the brain jelly/cloud and flash into action
Who are the whole brainers.
Which sentence summarizes the Localizers' belief about how the brain is structured?
A. They are followers of Dr. Gall Who started the brain revolution by declaring that the brain was the seat of intelligence, emotion and will.
B. Unfortunately, the Phrenologist have no way of knowing which part of the brain controls what.
C. By any name, the Localizers, or Phrenologists, believe that "organs" inside the brain controls specific functions.
D. Dr. Gall called his brain science "Phrenology."
C. By any name, the Localizers, or Phrenologists, believe that "organs" inside the brain controls specific functions.
Which of the following is an example of the limbic system.
A. Singing in front of the whole school.
B. Wanting three pairs of shoes instead of two.
C. Taking out the trash and spilling it all over the lawn.
D. A person saying something they will later regret during an argument

"In contrast, the theory suggests, __________ are better at regulating behavior and stopping themselves taking dangerous risks, even when the risks are exciting and potentially rewarding, because of their ____________ prefrontal cortex." (8)
adults
mature
How does the limbic system relate to the prefrontal cortex?
The mature limbic system usually has greater influence than the less-developed prefrontal cortex.
List three changes in Phineas after the accident of the tamping iron passing through his skull damaging his frontal lobe.
Profane- Using profanity
Coarse - Mean to his workers
Vulgar - Did not speak nice around women
Intolerable to decent people - Unable to socialize
What are the parts of a summary?
Parts of a summary:
1. An introductory sentence stating the author, title, and main idea of the text, 2. The body that outlines the key points and 3. Supporting details from the original work, and 4. A concluding statement that reiterates the central thesis or argument
The cerebral cortex consists of four regions called lobes. These lobes control many of your body’s functions—from physical activities such as running, to mental tasks such as remembering facts.
What are they?
Frontal Lobe - speech formation, movement, reasoning, your personality traits, and decision making
parietal lobe - helps you process sensory information, your sense of touch (physical touch, or the sun on your face) enables you to react to the pain
temporal lobe - helps you understand what you hear and to remember
Occipital lobe - helps you understand and react to what you are seeing, and recognize and identify what you see
Two groups divided over a question are called ________.
What is "rivals?"
