When it comes to solving math problems on tests, Brandon can recall all the formulas perfectly. But as he actively works to solve a problem, he has trouble keeping track of the variables that he manipulates in his mind. This example describes how Brandon most likely has limited ______.a) sensory storageb) working memory

A neurosurgeon probes a person’s brain to map its functions. The person is awake and feels no pain during this procedure. As each area of the brain is probed, the person perceives a different sensation, as described in the table. Which structure (or lobe) of the brain is being stimulated in each scenario?

Dr. LaGuardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. He conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. He finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions. If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might he have done? a. He would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups. b. He would have collected fewer types of data. c. He would have likely collected other additional dependent measures. d. He would have likely selected a topic where he…
