Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study's associations between criminal psychopathy and abnormalities in the limbic system and frontal cortex when processing affective stimuli would likely be supported by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, which allows for the measurement of changes in blood flow to specific areas of the brain during specific tasks or stimuli. CT scans and MRI data can provide structural information about the brain, but would not necessarily show differences in neural activation or blood flow during emotional processing. The Halstead-Reitan Test is a neuropsychological assessment battery used to evaluate general cognitive functioning, and would not be particularly relevant to this study's focus on affective processing abnormalities in people with criminal psychopathy.
