Study Notes

Distributive Processing

Behavior results from interactions among multiple brain regions.
Challenges the idea of behavior being localized to a single brain area.

Equipotentiality

The brain can adapt following injury, redistributing functions to undamaged areas.
Supports the idea of brain plasticity and recovery from trauma.

Localization of Function

Specific brain areas are responsible for particular behaviors.
Damage to these areas can lead to the inability to perform associated behaviors.

Relative Localization

Recognizes that while one brain region may be crucial for a behavior, other regions contribute to a lesser extent.
Suggests a more integrated approach to understanding brain functions in behavior.

Strict Localization

Proposes that each behavior can be traced to a single brain area.
Implies a clear and direct link between specific functions and locations in the brain.
