    The document describes 3 cases of brain injuries and their effects on behavior to aid student understanding of the relationship between brain structure and function. The cases are: 1) Linnea hit the back of her head skiing and now has jerky movements, 2) Kip was in a car accident and has trouble forming new memories, and 3) Shawna had metal lodge in her left frontal lobe in an explosion and lost her ability to use language beyond 1-2 words. The task is to identify the precise area of the brain damaged in each case.

Instructions: Below are 3 problems. Each describes a brain injury and its effects on behavior. Your task is to identify the precise area of the brain that has been damaged. 1. Linnea fell while skiing this past winter. When she fell, she hit the back of her very sharply against the ice on the slope. She now has difficulty moving about; her movements are jerky and she has to concentrate hard to make even the simplest of movements. Answer:____________ 2. Kip was in car accident recently. He seems okay except that he has a very difficult time remembering things. He can remember things that happened in his life prior to the accident; his difficulty appears to be in forming new memories. Answer:____________ 3. To pay her way through college, Shawna took a part-time job in the evenings working in a small factory. While she was working, the factory caught fire and there was an explosion before she could escape to safety. The explosion caused a small piece of metal to lodge deeply inher left frontal lobe. Although she made a complete recovery otherwise, her ability to use language was forever changed; she could not express herself at all--she could only utter one or two words. Answer:____________ I.
