BRAIN

The Cerebrum= the largest part of the human brain;
          -4 lobes:

1. the frontal lobe- reasoning, speech, movement, emotions, problems solving;
2. the parietal lobe- orientation, recognition, perception;
3. the occipital lobe- visual processing;
4. the temporal lobe- perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory and speech.

There are 2 hemispheres:

1. Left Hemisphere - logic abilities;
2. Right Hemisphere- creativity;

The Cerebellum ("little brain")- regulation and coordination of movement, posture and balance.

-it is much older than the cerebrum, evolutionarily;

Limbic system= emotional brain (old);

MEMORY refers to the processes that are used to acquire, storage, retain and later retrieve information. So there are 3 major processes: encoding( receiving), storage, retrieval.
