Question 1

Match the definition with the term.
-sensory aphasia

Accepted Answer

Sensory aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, is characterized by fluent speech that includes correct grammar but is often filled with peculiar words and mispronunciations. The key feature of this condition is a severe impairment in the understanding of spoken language.

Question 2

Match the book with its author.
-Donald O.Hebb

Accepted Answer

Donald O. Hebb is best known for his book "The Organization of Behavior," which is a foundational work in the field of neuropsychology and introduced the concept of Hebbian learning.

Question 3

Match the individual with the term he coined.
-interpretive cortex

Accepted Answer

Wilder Penfield coined the term "interpretive cortex" to describe areas of the brain, particularly within the temporal lobes, that are involved in the integration and interpretation of sensory experiences.

Question 4

Today efforts to study the brain often involve using various kinds of penetrating waves to take a series of images of the brain in sections or slices.These kinds of techniques are referred to as

Accepted Answer

Techniques that involve using penetrating waves to create images of the brain in sections or slices are referred to as tomography. Examples of these techniques include positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Equipotentiality refers to the idea that any part of the brain can potentially perform any function, cognitive neuroscience is the study of the neural mechanisms underlying cognition, and cell assemblies refer to groups of neurons that work together to perform a specific function.

Question 5

Researchers who use brain imaging to investigate how the brain processes social information work in the field known as

Accepted Answer

Brain imaging is a type of biological measurement, and as such, is a primary tool used in social neuroscience, which investigates how social and emotional processes are reflected in the brain's structure and activity. Social psychology is a broader field that uses a variety of research methods to study social behavior, but does not necessarily rely on brain imaging. Cognitive neuroscience, on the other hand, may use brain imaging to study a range of cognitive processes, but may not always focus on social information specifically.

Question 6

Following his death H.M.'s death his brain was

Accepted Answer

H.M.'s brain was preserved for future study. It was dissected into thousands of small slices and made available to researchers for further understanding of memory and brain function.

Question 7

Match the individual with the term he coined.
-paraphasias

Accepted Answer

Carl Wernicke coined the term paraphasias to describe language errors resulting from brain damage.

Other options:
B) Donald O. Hebb is known for the theory of Hebbian learning.
C) Karl Lashley is known for his research on the principle of mass action and equipotentiality in the brain.
D) Wilder Penfield is known for his work on brain mapping and epilepsy surgery.

Question 8

Match the definition with the term.
-conduction aphasia

Accepted Answer

Conduction aphasia is characterized by fluent speech with correct grammar, but includes peculiar words and mispronunciations due to loss of self-monitoring, while comprehension and general fluency are unimpaired.

Question 9

Match the research subject with the investigator.
-Brenda Milner

Accepted Answer

Brenda Milner is best known for her work with H.M. (Henry Gustav Molaison), a patient who underwent a bilateral medial temporal lobe resection to treat epilepsy, which resulted in his profound amnesia. This case was pivotal in the understanding of memory function and the role of the hippocampus.

Question 10

Match the research subject with the investigator.
-Paul Broca

Accepted Answer

Paul Broca is best known for his work with "Tan" (Louis Victor Leborgne), a patient who could only say the word "tan" but was otherwise mute. Broca's studies of Leborgne's brain after his death led to the identification of Broca's area, a region in the frontal lobe of the brain associated with speech production.

Question 11

Match the individual with the term he coined.
-equipotentiality

Accepted Answer

Karl Lashley coined the term "equipotentiality" to describe the idea that all areas of the brain can potentially perform any function, rather than being limited to specific functions.

Question 12

Milner's discoveries about differing memory systems represented part of the development of which emerging field of psychology?

Accepted Answer

Milner's discoveries about differing memory systems represented part of the development of cognitive psychology, which focuses on mental processes such as perception, memory, and problem-solving.

Question 13

Match the book with its author.
-Suzanne Corkin

Accepted Answer

Permanent Present Tense is written by Suzanne Corkin.

Answer A: Brain Mechanisms and Intelligence is written by Karl Pribram. 
Answer C: The Organization of Behavior is written by Donald Hebb.

Question 14

The interdisciplinary field in which investigators use neuroimaging techniques to see what is going on in the brain when various cognitive activities are performed is called

Accepted Answer

Cognitive neuroscience is the interdisciplinary field that uses neuroimaging techniques to understand how the brain supports various cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, language, and reasoning. A combination of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and computer science is used to study how the brain processes information and generates behavior. Social neuroscience is a subfield of cognitive neuroscience that investigates the neural mechanisms underlying social behavior, emotions, and cognition. Mental biology is not a recognized field of study. Neuroscience encompasses the study of the nervous system, including its structure, functions, development, and disorders, but it is not specific to the study of cognition or behavior.

Question 15

Match the individual with the term he coined.
-cell assemblies

Accepted Answer

Donald O. Hebb coined the term "cell assemblies" to refer to groups of neurons that are activated together and form the basis for learning and memory.

Question 16

Match the research subject with the investigator.
-Roberts Bartholow

Accepted Answer

Roberts Bartholow conducted an experiment on a developmentally disabled young woman named Mary Rafferty who had a cancerous lesion of the scalp and skull, which exposed her brain. This allowed Bartholow to directly stimulate her exposed brain tissue.

Question 17

Match the definition with the term.
-commissures

Accepted Answer

Commissures are the stalks of nerve tissue that connect the two halves of the brain.

Answer: B
 Neurons are nerve cells composing the brain and spinal cord, each with an active cell body or nucleus.

Answer: C
 Gray matter is the pulpy substance forming the outer surface of the brain, inner part of the spinal cord, and several other centers in the brain.

Answer: A
 White matter is the fibrous substance of many regions of the brain.

Question 18

Match the definition with the term.
-motor aphasia

Accepted Answer

Motor aphasia, also known as Broca's aphasia, is characterized by difficulty in producing speech while understanding of language remains relatively intact. This matches the description in option D.

Question 19

Match the book with its author.
-Karl Lashley

Accepted Answer

Karl Lashley is known for his work in psychology and neurology, and he authored "Brain Mechanisms and Intelligence," which explores the relationship between brain structures and cognitive functions.

Question 20

Match the definition with the term.
-paraphasias

Accepted Answer

Carl Wernicke coined the term paraphasias to describe language errors resulting from brain damage.

Other options:
B) Donald O. Hebb is known for the theory of Hebbian learning.
C) Karl Lashley is known for his research on the principle of mass action and equipotentiality in the brain.
D) Wilder Penfield is known for his work on brain mapping and epilepsy surgery.
