    Study Notes

    Neuropsychology Foundations

    • The three pillars of neuropsychology are: brain, behavior, and cognition.

    Observable Behavior

    • Observable behavior that can be seen by others includes: posture, facial expressions, and speech patterns.

    Behavioral Absence

    • The term "negative symptom" is used to describe behavior that is not present, such as the lack of emotional response.

    Goals of Neuropsychologists

    • One of the primary goals of neuropsychologists is to understand the relationship between brain function and behavior.

    Desired Outcome

    • Neuropsychologists want to help people regain normal functioning and independence.

    Vision Function

    • The main function of vision mentioned in the text is to detect and process visual information.

    Visual Information Processing

    • Information from the right visual field ends up in the left hemisphere of the brain.

    Damage to the Optic Chiasm

    • If damage occurs after the optic chiasm, the result is homonymous hemianopia (blindness in the same visual field of both eyes).

    Akinetopsia

    • Akinetopsia is a rare condition where an individual is unable to perceive motion.

    Color Processing

    • The ventral pathway, particularly the V4 area, is especially important for processing color.
