for the conscious mind?
a. monism c. dualism
b. behaviorism d. relativism
ANS: A DIF: Medium REF: 1.1 A Historical Perspective
OBJ: 1.1 MSC: Analyzing
6. René Descartes posited that the mind was separate from the body. However, he implicated a single
brain structure, the pineal gland, as having what function?

10. Phrenologists believed that the contour of the skull could provide valuable information about an
individual’s cognitive capacities and personality traits. This approach was based on the assumption that
a. skull protrusions are caused by disproportionate development of the brain areas beneath
them, which are responsible for different specific functions.
b. certain traits such as aggressiveness lead to life experiences and injuries that alter the
shape of the skull in specific ways.
c. life experiences and injuries that alter the shape of the skull in specific ways lead to certain
traits, such as aggressiveness.
d. the development of the skull bones directly influences the configuration of the soft brain
areas beneath them, which are responsible for different specific functions.
