Name 3 major lobes of the brain and what they control
frontal- exec functioning, speech, personality, emotions
parietal- touch, taste, body awareness
temporal- processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory. The temporal lobes are also believed to play an important role in processing affect/emotions, language, some visual perception.
occipital lobes- vision
brain stem- HR, breathing, vitals, temp
cerebellum- balance, coordination

List 2 general facilitory and 2 inhibitoy techniques for changing muscle tone in those with a stroke.
Facilitory: Tapping, sensory stimulation, using reflexes, proprioceptive stimuli, quick stretch, resistance, PNF- hold-relax, contract-hold-release, rhythmic initation or stabilization. fast brushing, light stroking, quick icing
Inhibitory: weight bearing, trunk rotation, proper positioning, slow stroking and stretching, neutral warms, slow rocking

What is the difference in visual form constancy, visual closure, and visual discriminations?
Form Constancy is the ability to identify objects despite their variation of size, color, shape, position, or texture.
Visual Closure is the ability to accurately identify objects that are partially covered or missing.
Visual Discrimination is being able to find similarities and differences between objects
Figure ground Perception is the ability to distinguish foreground from background.
