According to the theory of dialectic thinking that is used to describe the progression of ideas, a 1) antithesis Reasoning: The dialectical method involves the integration of two opposing propositions, a thesis Which one of the following is not consistent with the ideas of
functionalism? 1) The study of the organism independent of its environment Reasoning: Functionalism attempts to understand how the mind works by trying to
uncover Which one of the following statements reflects a legitimate criticism of Behaviourism? 1) The behaviouristic principles do not offer a satisfactory explanation of language learning Reasoning: Behaviourism was challenged on many fronts such as language acquisition, production - - - - - is a cognitive psychological theme that is concerned with the use of highly controlled 2) Validity of causal inferences versus ecological validity Reasoning: We can combine a variety of methods, including laboratory methods and more The major assumption about studies using visual imaging technology to examine blood flow to the 4) high levels of blood is required for cognition Reasoning: When the brain is active, it needs energy, which is transported to the brain in the form Which of the following structures comprise the forebrain? 3) Cerebral cortex, basil ganglia, the limbic system, thalamus, and hypothalamus Reasoning: The forebrain is the anterior part of the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, the All of the following are central interconnected cerebral structures of the limbic system except the___. 1) primary motor cortex Reasoning: The limbic system is a set of structures in the brain that deal with emotions and Jennifer has damage to a certain area of her brain. She can remember people
and events from long 2) hippocampus Reasoning: Hippocampal damage can result in anterograde amnesia: loss of ability to form new A code blue has just been announced in a hospital. A patient has stopped breathing. Doctors and 3) They found that there was still activity in the brainstem Reasoning:
Brain-death is defined as unresponsiveness and lack of receptivity, the absence of A researcher wants to investigate the neural structures involved in a cognitive process, and has 2) Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) Reasoning: TMS: When applied to the scalp, the
magnetic field induces electrical activity in the Which abilities have been found to be localised on the right side of the brain for most spilt-brain 3) Skilled movement Reasoning: The right hemisphere of the cortex excels at nonverbal and spatial tasks, whereas the Adrian has Alzheimer’s and has a difficult time with his memory. The doctors say that his memory 1) acetylcholine Reasoning: Acetylcholine is associated with memory functions, and the loss of acetylcholine This particular neurotransmitter is Important for regulating impulsivity and is associated with eating 4) Serotonin Reasoning: Serotonin plays an important role in eating behavior and body weight regulation. High This static imaging technique uses a strong magnetic field to analyse magnetic changes in the energy of the orbits of nuclear particles in the molecules of the body. These molecular changes are then analysed by computer to produce a 3-D picture of structures in the brain. The technique can be used, amongst other applications, for detecting lesions in the brain 1) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) This type of disorder is caused by an interruption in the flow of blood to the brain and often 1) Vascular disorder Reasoning: This definition applies to vascular disorder, a brain disorder caused by a stroke Julie sees a flower, she notes that it is red and appears to be a rose. What is the distal object? 3) The actual rose Reasoning: Transduction of
electromagnetic light energy into neural electrochemical impulses occurs in this part 3) Retina Reasoning: The retina is where electromagnetic light energies transduced-that is, converted-into These long thin photoreceptors work well in situations when the light is dim. 3) Rods Reasoning: The rods are long, thin photoreceptors that are responsible for night vision and are - - - - - perception refers to a key view of perception which asserts that the perceiver 'builds' the 4) Constructive Reasoning: Constructive perception, is the theory of perception in which the perceiver uses Gibson's direct perception model is sometimes referred to as a(n)- - - - -,
because of 4) ecological model Reasoning: In this theory of direct perception Gibson maintains that there is enough contextual After sustaining a head injury in a motor car accident, Alice has a peculiar perceptual deficit because 2) prosopagnosia Reasoning: Prosopagnosia refers to a specific impairment in the ability to identify human faces. A According to the - - - - - theory of object perception, objects are recognized on the basis of the 4) recognition-by-components Reasoning: The idea that the object recognition is based on three-dimensional shapes called This part of the brain seems to play an important role in the recognition of faces 1) Fusiform gyrus of the temporal lobe Reasoning: The fusiform gyrus is part of the temporal lobe. Though the
functionality of the Texture gradients, relative size, interposition, linear
perspective, and aerial perspective are all 2) monocular depth cues Reasoning: What did Hubel and Wiesel discover about animal visual perception in their important study using 4) Some cells in the visual cortex respond preferentially to lines with a particular orientation Reasoning: Hubel and Wiesel found that most of the cells in the cortex do not respond simply to When our perception of an object remains the same even when our proximal sensation of the distal object changes is?Perceptual constancy occurs when our perception of an object remains the same even when our proximal sensation of the distal objects changes. For example if someone walks toward you on the street, you don't perceive this person as larger.
Which cues about depth are represented in just two dimensions and can be seen with just one eye?Monocular cues can play an important role in the detection of depth in the world around us. Unlike binocular cues, which involve the use of both eyes, monocular cues only require the use of one eye and can be presented in two dimensions.
Which short and thick photoreceptors work well in situations in which the light is bright?These photoreceptor cells, known as cones, are light-detecting cells. The cones are specialized types of photoreceptors that work best in bright light conditions. Cones are very sensitive to acute detail and provide tremendous spatial resolution.
Are short and thick photoreceptors and allow for the perception of color?The cones are short and thick photoreceptors and allow for the perception of color. They are more highly concentrated in the foveal region than in the periphery of the retina (Durgin, 2000). The rods, cones, and photopigments could not do their work were they not somehow hooked up to the brain.
