PSY 402 (PSY402)

PSY-402 Topic 1 DQ2 Describe two methods of research for studying neural function (describe at least one that uses the behavioral or cognitive approach). How do these methods complement one another? What are the limitations of each method? Class, Both the MEG or magneto- encephalography and the electrocardiogram or ECoG are methods of research used to study the neural functioning and both use the behavioral approach. The MEG creates small magnetic fields. Neurosurgeons are able to loc...

PSY-402 Topic 2 DQ1 What does the case of Phineas Gage reveal about localization of functions in the brain? How can modern neuroscientists and psychologists learn from his injury? Class, The case of Phineas Gage has revealed much to the sciences. Within the topic of neuroscience, many have researched the case of Phineas Gage, but a study done in 2012 looked specifically at the recovery of Phineas Gage rather than the injury. Phineas Gage’s recovery had setbacks, but the fact he lived and we...

PSY-402 Topic 1 DQ1 Describe the emergence of cognitive psychology and neuroscience – what prompted the development of these fields, and what is significant about the shift from behaviorism to cognitive psychology and neuroscience? What can we understand about human behavior because of neuroscience that we could not have understood before?
