Describe how brain structure and physiological processes function to produce behavior.5. Describe how abnormal behavior (i.e., the deficit model) can illuminate normal brain structureand function.6. Apply this knowledge to understanding normal and abnormal functioning across a variety ofspecific areas (e.g., language, emotion, spatial cognition, attention).7.
