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.
