Have you used your textbook?
Sure! I can help you check your answers. Let's go through each question one by one.
13. Within the cerebral cortex, the _______ area is found in the occipital lobe.
Your answer: A. visual
Correct answer: A. visual
Explanation: The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information, so the correct answer is indeed A. visual.
14. Dr. Lombard's research is focused on the capacity of the human mind to store and retrieve information. Her colleague, Dr. Fry, is a clinician who strives to help his clients be "the best that they can be." As a fly on the wall listening to the two psychologists' friendly disputes during coffee breaks, which of these assertions would you most likely expect from Dr. Fry?
Your answer: D. If biology is destiny, the concept of free will can be only an illusion.
Correct answer: D. If biology is destiny, the concept of free will can be only an illusion.
Explanation: Given the description of Dr. Fry as someone who helps his clients be "the best that they can be," it is likely that he would assert that if biology determines everything, then free will may be an illusion.
15. In the ear, the basilar membrane and hair cells are found in the
Your answer: D. cochlea.
Correct answer: D. cochlea.
Explanation: The basilar membrane and hair cells are key components of the inner ear, specifically the cochlea, where they play a crucial role in detecting sound vibrations.
16. According to a Gestalt principle called _______, when we're looking at a crowd of people, we tend to perceive people grouped close together as belonging to a common or related group.
Your answer: D. proximity
Correct answer: D. proximity
Explanation: The principle of proximity states that elements that are close to each other tend to be perceived as belonging to a common group. This principle is often used to explain how we perceive objects in our visual field.
17. Under Weber's law, we'll notice a stimulus difference such that it will be a constant proportion of the intensity of the initial stimulus. Thus, for weight, we'll notice a one-ounce difference in a weight of 50 ounces. Weber's law applies most directly to the concept of
Your answer: A. difference threshold
Correct answer: A. difference threshold
Explanation: Weber's law is related to the concept of the difference threshold, which is the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli. It states that the difference threshold is proportional to the intensity of the initial stimulus.
18. Among his oil-field buddies, Conrad was known as a cheerfully profane hard drinker who was seldom averse to a barroom scrap. But, after he suffered a head injury in a car accident, he returned to work as a docile, timid man who could no longer deal with the violent activity of a drill rig platform. His physicians determined that damage to his __________ was the likely cause of his changed behavior.
Your answer: B. thalamus
Correct answer: B. thalamus
Explanation: The description of Conrad's changed behavior suggests that his personality and behavior may have been affected by damage to his thalamus. The thalamus is involved in relaying sensory information, regulating arousal, and influencing emotional responses.
19. You could locate receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the
Your answer: D. endorphins
Correct answer: A. synapse
Explanation: Receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse can be found at the synapse, which is the junction between two nerve cells where communication occurs. Endorphins, on the other hand, are neurotransmitters that play a role in pain reduction and mood regulation.
20. Among the advanced technologies used to study the brain's structure and functions, which one provides detailed three-dimensional images of the brain's structures and activities?
Your answer: C. Transcranial magnetic stimulation
Correct answer: C. Transcranial magnetic stimulation
Explanation: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is not used to provide detailed three-dimensional images of the brain, but rather to stimulate specific brain regions non-invasively. The technology that provides detailed three-dimensional images of the brain's structures and activities is A. functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Based on your responses, you got 7 out of 8 questions correct. Well done!
Sure, let me check your answers for you:
13. A - Correct, the visual area is found in the occipital lobe, which is responsible for processing visual information.
14. D - Correct, based on Dr. Fry's focus on helping clients be "the best they can be," it is likely that he would assert that if biology is destiny, then free will can be only an illusion.
15. D - Incorrect, the basilar membrane and hair cells are actually found in the cochlea, which is responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
16. B - Correct, the Gestalt principle of closure refers to our tendency to perceive objects as complete or whole, even when they are incomplete. Proximity refers to the tendency to perceive objects that are close together as belonging to a group.
17. A - Correct, Weber's law states that the just noticeable difference (JND), or the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli, is a constant proportion of the intensity of the initial stimulus. This relates to the concept of difference threshold.
18. B - Incorrect, damage to the amygdala, not the thalamus, is likely to cause changes in behavior such as increased aggression or a lack of emotional control.
19. D - Correct, receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse can be located by finding endorphins, which are neurotransmitters that bind to specific receptor sites in the brain.
20. C - Incorrect, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique used to stimulate specific regions of the brain. Three-dimensional images of the brain's structures and activities are typically generated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
So, out of the questions you asked, you got 6 answers correct (13A, 14D, 16B, 17A, 19D).
