IB Psychology 2.1.7 Localization of function
Students practise describing or evaluating localization studies—such as Broca’s aphasia cases or modern fMRI work—to link brain regions to cognitive functions.
How this is tested
- describe localization using Broca’s or Wernicke’s aphasia case studies, linking lesion sites to language deficits
- evaluate localization evidence by contrasting early lesion-based conclusions with modern network-based
