were revered by the Catholic Church.
>His work was the first to provide a detailed and mechanistic explanation for human behavior. (My Choice)xx

7. Olds and Milner (1954) performed experiments on rats to determine:
>the brain’s role in human emotion x(My Choice)
>the brain’s role in drug addiction.
>the brain’s role in the tolerance of pain.
>the brain’s role in narcolepsy.
8. What was significant and different about John Locke’s beliefs about the development of human ideas compared to those of his modern counterparts?
>Unlike his colleagues, Locke believed that all thought was generated by the brain at birth.
>Locke believed that the human mind was a blank slate at birth which required that all ideas must be acquired through experience. x(My Choice)
>Locke argued that science and theology were one in the same.
>Locke was convinced that each human was born with a large but limited number of thoughts that could only be acquired through experience.
9. Sigmund Freud was the first theorist to argue the limitations of:
>unconscious analysis.
>emotional analysis.
>conscious analysis. x(My Choice)
>random analysis.
10. Research by Penfield (1958) indicated that:
>experiments on the human brain using electrical stimulation caused physical pain.
>experiments on the human brain using electrical stimulation caused abnormal activity.
>experiments on the human brain
using electrical stimulation caused Epileptic seizures. x(My Choice)
experiments on the human brain
>using electrical stimulation caused specific thoughts and images.
2 is wrong. Salvia is a response.
10 is wrong. electrical stimulation caused specific thoughts and images.
Thank you!
>Motor neuron, synaptic cleft
1. Your answer is correct. Behaviorists focus on studying overt behavior, which refers to observable behaviors that can be measured and analyzed objectively.
2. Your answer is correct. The dog salivating at the sound of the tone is a conditioned response because it is a learned response to a conditioned stimulus (the tone) that was previously paired with an unconditioned stimulus (the food).
3. Your answer is correct. When a new neuron is formed, an electrical signal arrives at the terminals of the first neuron, causing the release of chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
4. Your answer is correct. Food for Pavlov's dog is an unconditioned stimulus because it elicits a response (salivation) without any training or conditioning.
5. Your answer is correct. Descartes's work is valuable because it provided a detailed and mechanistic explanation for human behavior, laying the foundation for future studies on learning and cognition.
6. Your answer is correct. The modification of connections in the human brain, also known as neuroplasticity, can happen through experience. Learning, practicing, and repeating certain activities can lead to changes in the brain's neural connections.
7. Your answer is incorrect. Olds and Milner's experiments on rats were focused on determining the brain's role in human emotion. They discovered that electrical stimulation of certain brain regions in rats could evoke pleasurable responses, indicating the brain's involvement in reward and reinforcement systems.
8. Your answer is correct. John Locke believed in the concept of tabula rasa, suggesting that the human mind is a blank slate at birth and that all ideas and knowledge are acquired through experience.
9. Your answer is correct. Sigmund Freud argued for the limitations of conscious analysis. He emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind and how it influences thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
10. Your answer is correct. Research by Penfield indicated that experiments on the human brain using electrical stimulation could cause epileptic seizures. This helped to map out different areas of the brain and understand their specific functions.
