Question 1

Abolitionists maintain that animals do not have the same rights as humans.​

Accepted Answer

Abolitionists typically argue that animals should have the same rights as humans, rather than maintaining that they do not have the same rights.

Question 2

An ontogenetic explanation is one that describes the development of a structure or behavior.​

Accepted Answer

An ontogenetic explanation focuses on how a structure or behavior develops over an organism's lifetime.

Question 3

A person who believes that hormones released at different stages of the menstrual cycle affect a person's mood is using a(n)____ explanation.​

Accepted Answer

The belief that hormones released at different stages of the menstrual cycle affect a person's mood is a physiological explanation.

Question 4

Invertebrate nerve action follows the same basic principles as human nerves.​

Accepted Answer

Invertebrate nerve action follows the same basic principles as human nerves, although the details may differ.

Question 5

Gottfried Leibniz (1714)posed the question: "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Accepted Answer

Gottfried Leibniz did indeed pose the question "Why is there something rather than nothing?" in 1714.

Question 6

A fundamental property is one that ____.​

Accepted Answer

A fundamental property cannot be reduced to something else, meaning it is its own basic and essential component.

Question 7

Perception occurs primarily in sense organs.​

Accepted Answer

Perception occurs in the brain, where sensory information from the sense organs is processed and interpreted.

Question 8

Jill studies how hormones influence sexual behavior of rats.She is most likely a ____.​

Accepted Answer

Jill's focus on how hormones impact sexual behavior in rats suggests a focus on the biological basis of behavior, making her a biological psychologist. A neuroscientist may also study the biological basis of behavior, but Jill's specific research on hormones points more directly to the field of biological psychology. Clinical psychologists work with clients to diagnose and treat mental health issues, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health and can prescribe medication. Neither of these fields aligns with Jill's research focus.

Question 9

Neurons vary enormously in size,shape,and functions.​

Accepted Answer

Neurons are highly diverse in their morphology, physiology, and functions. For example, some neurons are long and thin, and they transmit information over long distances, while others are short and communicate with nearby cells. Some neurons release neurotransmitters that excite other cells, while others release inhibitory neurotransmitters that decrease their activity. These variations in size, shape, and functions allow the brain to perform complex functions such as learning, memory, and perception.

Question 10

Minimalists do not tolerate any kind of animal research.​

Accepted Answer

Minimalism is a lifestyle choice focused on simplicity and reducing excess, and it does not inherently dictate a stance on animal research.

Question 11

The dispute between abolitionists and animal researchers is a dispute between two ethical positions.​

Accepted Answer

The dispute between abolitionists and animal researchers revolves around ethical considerations related to the use of animals in scientific research, testing, and experimentation. While abolitionists advocate for the complete elimination of animal testing, citing ethical concerns such as animal cruelty and speciesism, animal researchers believe that animal testing is necessary for medical advancements and human health. Therefore, the dispute is essentially a clash between two different ethical perspectives.

Question 12

The underlying mechanisms of behavior are similar across species.​

Accepted Answer

The study of comparative psychology has shown that many behaviors and cognitive processes have similarities across different species, indicating that there are underlying mechanisms that are shared. For example, studies on memory, learning, sensation, perception, and social behavior have revealed similarities among different animals.

Question 13

The universe could have been different in many ways,nearly all of which would have made life impossible​

Accepted Answer

The universe follows specific physical laws and constants that allow for the existence and evolution of life. If any of these properties were different, the universe could not support life as we know it. This is known as the anthropic principle.

Question 14

Research scientists are free to do as they wish when conducting research with animals.​

Accepted Answer

Research scientists must abide by ethical guidelines and regulations established by their institution and government to ensure the welfare of the animals they are researching on. There are strict protocols that must be followed to minimize harm and provide proper care for animals involved in research.

Question 15

A cognitive neuroscientist is most likely to ____.​

Accepted Answer

Cognitive neuroscientists study brain activity and anatomy to analyze and explore people's knowledge, thinking, and problem solving. A is more related to clinical neuropsychology, C is related to evolutionary psychology, and D is related to educational psychology.

Question 16

Chalmers explanation of the mind-body problem has largely laid the issue to rest.​

Accepted Answer

While Chalmers' explanation of the mind-body problem, specifically his theory of phenomenal consciousness and the hard problem of consciousness, has brought new insights and perspectives to the issue, it has not fully resolved the problem and remains an ongoing philosophical debate.

Question 17

The mind-body problem refers to how the mind controls the body.

Accepted Answer

The mind-body problem refers to the philosophical question of how the mind and body are related, and whether they are separate entities or part of a holistic system. It is not specifically about how the mind controls the body.

Question 18

Electrical stimulation of your brain can produce a hand experience even if you had no hand.​

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that electrical stimulation of certain areas of the brain in individuals who have had a hand amputation can produce a sensation of a hand. This is known as phantom limb sensation.

Question 19

Mental activity and certain types of brain activity are,so far as we can tell,inseparable.​

Accepted Answer

The answer of Mental activity and certain types of brain...

Question 20

Biological psychologists are primarily interested in the study of the physiological,evolutionary,and ____.​

Accepted Answer

Biological psychologists focus on how biological processes contribute to behavior and experience, including the development of behavior and experience over the lifespan. They are less concerned with social, cultural, or psychological influences on behavior.
