Question 4: A behaviorist would have the greatest difficulty explaining which of the following situations?

  Your response to a stimulus is dependent on how you interpret that stimulus.
  Once you have learned that a particular response is rewarded, you are likely to repeat that response.
  Often someone’s responses are different from what the person had said initially that he or she planned or hoped to do.
 
You are very likely to respond differently to a novel stimulus than to a familiar one.

 

 

Question 5: Why do cognitive psychologists use models?

  It allows for ideas to be more clearly organized.
  It allows for the development and testing of hypotheses.
 
It allows for clearer communication with others.
  All of the above are correct.

 

 

Question 8: Broadbent is known for contributing which of the following concepts to Cognitive Psychology?

  the idea of a “schema,” which is a perception and mental framework
  important work on the organization of brains
  the computer as a metaphor
 

the key tool of measuring response time

 

 

Question 13: Accuracy and response time are two of the most important research methods in cognitive psychology.

  True
  False

 

Question 15: Neuroscience, linguistics, attention, and perception are all part of the study of cognitive psychology.

  True
  False

 

 

Question 18: The part of the brain that controls bodily balance and motor memory is the _____.

  forebrain
  subcortical structures
  hindbrain
  midbrain

 

Question 19: Agatha is thinking about calling up her best friend, Christie, to get coffee.
What might be happening with the neurons in Agatha’s brain when thinking about Christie? How might Christie be coded in her brain?

  Agatha has a single neuron that fires in response to her best friend.
  There is a specific group of neurons that fire in response to Christie.
  Agatha has a single neuron that fires in response to all of her friends, but the frequency differs based on the specific friend.
  A set of neurons fires in a specific pattern in response to Christie (the pattern across these neurons different for different content).

 

Question 20: Which of the following statements are true?

  The greater the number of neurons needed for cognitive processing, the longer the RT.
  The strength of a synaptic connection an be altered by experience.
  Both A and B are true.
  Neither A nor B are true.

 

Question 23: What is the function of the myelin sheath?

  to increase the speed of the neurotransmitters traveling down the axon
  to increase the speed of the action potential
  to decrease the speed of the action potential, preventing it from dying out too early
  to protect the dendrites

 

Question 24: Which of the following would be a strength for using the PET technique?

      
Useful for temporally locating neural activity.
  Useful for spatially locating neural activity.
  Useful for proving causal data.
  All of the above are correct

  True
  False
