Which functionality would be most affected if you lost your SA II (Ruffini) touch receptors?Sensitivity to finger position and downward skin pressure, as when holding an object Refer to the figure. This figure demonstrates the locations of four types ofmechanoreceptors Which functionality would be most affected if you lost your SA I (Merkel) touch receptors?Texture perception and pattern/form perception, like for reading Braille Mechanoreceptors that have a slow adaptation rate and lar...

UBC PSYC 320A Answers Explained. Person-by-treatment research design - CORRECT ANSWERresearcher takes pre-existing participant groups (i.e man, woman), randomly assigns them to different levels of at least 1 independent variable (i.e status level) and compares them on one or more dependent variables Due to the incomplete random assignment, these designs have moderate experimental control Cause and effect conclusions are possible, but limited Ex post facto research design - CORRECT AN...
