Study Notes

4.1. Modelul fiziologic

  • In anul 1795, astronomul curÈ›ii regale a Marii Britanii, Nicholas Maskelyne, a constatat existenÈ›a unor diferenÈ›e între înregistrările pe care el È™i asistenÈ›ii săi le efectuau asupra timpului de deplasare al astrologilor din-un punct la altul pe cer; timpul măsurat de el era mai mare decât cel înregistrat de asistenÈ›i.
  • In admiraÈ›ie a acestor persistente diferenÈ›e au persisitat, ba chiar s-au accentuat în lunile următoare.
  • Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), a parăsit Austria natală, unde, cursurile sale erau intensificate pentru a susÈ›ine materiale Dum, pentru a se stabili la Paris.
  • Gall propunea o psihologie a facultátilor mentale ÅŸi urmareasă identificarea funcÈ›iilor cerebrale diferite.
  • El a propus existenÈ›a a 27 de zone cerebrale, modelul său era o organologie cranio-scopică, 10 dintre organele cerebrale asigurându-È™i manifestările intelectuale(inferioară ÅŸi superioare) instinctele ÅŸi facultățile intelectuale ale omului.
  • Gall a enunÈ›at cinci principii, care explică modulul său, prescrisăreditat pentru a determina funcÈ›iile, aÅŸfel, modelul psihofiziologiei facultății.
  • Ca urmare a bazelor filosofice ale lui Gall, gândirea profundă despre pot fi descoperite.
  • ÃŽn 1858, apud Lecadet ÅŸi Mehannna, 2006, p. 68, consideră că oasele cutiei craniene reproduc cu fidelitate forma cortexului, ele fiind structuri superioare ale cortexului.
  • Cu cât un organ din creier este mai activ, cu atât el este mai dezvoltat ÅŸi vizibil în forma craniului.

Gall ÅŸi fenologia

  • Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), a parăsit Austria natală, interes È™i localizarea cerebrală, după cum spune el admiraÈ›iei pentru ce stabilit la Paris.
  • Gall propunea o psihologie a facultăților mentale.
  • El susÈ›ine că la nivel cerebral există 27 de zone ale creierului.

Broca și fiziologia experimentală

  • Paul Pierre Broca (1824-1880) a localizat sediul limbajului articolat în emisferul stâng.
  • Broca, determină localizarea centrală motorie, de care aparÈ›in afaceri senzoriale.
  • ÃŽn urma multor cercetări ÅŸi observări ÅŸtiinÈ›ifice, el a constatat posibilitatea localizării cerebrale în funcÈ›ie de posibile boală.
