information about normal cognitive functioning.
Which of the following is included in the limbic system? correct answers Amygdala
Acquire knowledge through reasoning correct answers Rationalism
Methodological doubt correct answers Descartes
Proposed categories of understanding to bridge empricism and rationalism. correct answers Kant
Epistemology is a dynamic process that requires dialogue correct answers Socrates
We acquire knowledge through observation correct answers Empiricism
unconscious processes determine behavior correct answers Freud
Functionalism correct answers James
the mind is what the brain does correct answers Hobbes
only study observable behaviors correct answers Behaviorism
the larger the brain, the smarter you are correct answers Gall
systematic introspection correct answers Structuralism
Cognitive Psychology correct answers inference of mental processes from observable behaviors
Damage to the brain can be caused in many ways, but in general the damage is referred to as a
correct answers Lesion
Unlike fMRI, TMS can be used to make ________ statements. correct answers Causal
Cells detecting the boundary of a surface are subject to less lateral inhibition than cells detecting
the center of the same surface. This leads to an effect called correct answers Edge ehancement
, Despite the fact that sensory stimuli can change from moment to moment, we perceive the details
(color, shape, etc.) of an image to be stable because of correct answers Constancy
Krista is sitting on a bench, watching the world go by. She notices the people who are near to her
move across her retina more quickly than the cars in the distance move. This effect is called
correct answers Motion parralax
Single-cell recordings measure the ________ of individual neurons. correct answers Pattern of
firing
The ________ is the part of the eye involved in transducing light energy into neural energy.
correct answers Retina
Which of the following statements about the retina is FALSE? correct answers The
photoreceptors communicate directly with the ganglion cells.
"Bottom-up" (or "data-driven") mechanisms are correct answers mechanisms for which activity
is primarily triggered and shaped by the incoming stimulus information
A bigram detector fires in response to the correct answers Appropriate letter pair
A participant reads a list of words in which the word "elephant" appears several times. Later, the
participant tachistoscopically views another list of words. When the word "elephant" appears in
the second list, the participant's response rate is faster than for other words not found on the
previous list. This effect is called correct answers Repetition priming
Mistakes in word reading occur under a feature-net model of recognition. This results because
the feature NET encourages ________ over ________. correct answers Efficiency;accuracy
On one trial of an experiment, a participant is shown the sequence GWXT. On a different trial,
the participant is shown the sequence PAFE. On the basis of prior research, we should expect
that correct answers PAFE will be easier to perceive than GWXT because detectors for PA and
FE are likely to be well primed
Facial recognition differs from recognition of other objects in all of the following ways EXCEPT
correct answers the component parts of a face have no influence on perception.
The fusiform face area (FFA) is known to be an area that is specifically responsive to faces.
Which of the following statements is also true about the FFA? correct answers Tasks requiring
other subtle distinctions within a category (e.g., identifying different birds or cars) also produce
high levels of activation in this area.
The recognition of faces correct answers is influenced by configurational factors, suggesting that
a model based on feature detection will provide a poor explanation of face recognition.
