Why Did Phineas Gage's Acquaintances Describe Him As 'no Longer Gage’ After His Head Injury? What Theory Might Account For Gage's And Other Similar Patients' Deficits? |
|
Answer» First describe what happened to Gage and why it is RELEVANT to neuropsychology. It will describe the post injury changes in his behaviour and draw parallels between these changes and those seen in PATIENTS such as EVR and NM. The SPECIFIC brain region INVOLVED should be described. The essay will evaluate explanations for these changes, citing hypotheses such as the somatic marker HYPOTHESIS. A very good answer will indicate how these changes may be unconnected to intelligence. First describe what happened to Gage and why it is relevant to neuropsychology.
