Chapter 38, Problem 8TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
Consider an individual who had been fluent in American Sign Language before suffering an injury to his left cerebral hemisphere. After the injury, he could still understand signs but could not readily generate signs that represented his thoughts. Propose two hypotheses that could explain this finding. How might you distinguish between them?

I need help finding a research paper and a news article that evaluates how brain and mind are presented outside the scientific literature. Specifically, you’ll choose an empirical study (2020 or earlier) that was featured in news reports and critically evaluate its presentation there in light of the original research paper. The topic is about visual perception in animals or humans . We already spoke about mantis shrimp so that example is not available however it can be any other animal.
Describe brain imaging evidence for localization of function. Describe experiments thatinvolved looking at still pictures and that involved looking at movies. What does eachtype of experiment tell us about localization of function?
Which of the following is a correct description of current theories on the ventral pathway organization?
Answers:
a.
Tarr and Gauthier proposed that object recognition is on the basis of visual eccentricity
b.
Kanwisher proposed a theory suggesting that there are specialized components and a general component for object recognition
c.
Kanwisher proposed that there is a region specialized for every important mental process
d.
Tarr and Gauthier proposed that object recognition is sparsely distributed across the ventral pathway
e.
All theories suggest that face is special and that the FFA is specialized for face recognition

- Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity? A) Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation B) The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain. C) Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life. D) All of the abovearrow_forwardEmergency room doctors often shine a light into the eyes of patients with head injuries to test their pupillary reflex. The structure that relays the information between the optic nerve and the motor neuron, and the division of the nervous system that the structure is part of , respectively are: Select one: a. an interneuron and the peripheral nervous system b. the occipital lobe and the peripheral nervous system c. the occipital lobe and the central nervous system d. an interneuron and the central nervous systemarrow_forwardWhat is the semantic category approach?

- This dataset comes from research conducted by Dr. Lincoln Craton, who has been investigating cognition during infancy. In this study, he was interested in understanding infants’ ability to perceive stationary, partially hidden objects. He presented infants of various ages the scenes depicted in the figure on the next page. When shown the top left panel, most adults report seeing a vertically positioned rectangle behind a long horizontal strip. What do you suppose a 5- or 8-month-old infant sees here? Infants in this study were presented with the two test events shown above. The primary dependent variable in this study was looking time. Prior research has shown that infants tend to look longer at the more surprising of two events. Do infants find the broken event to be more surprising, as adults do, who have a strong tendency to perceive partially hidden objects as complete? Do 5-month-old infants perceive a partially hidden object as complete? First, select infants who are…arrow_forwardWhat is the connection between studying a brain that experiences phantom senses and understanding a ”normal” brain?

- Comparing MRI and fMRI, which one(s) measure the responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field? Which one(s) show which brain areas are most active at the moment? a. Only MRI measures responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Both show which brain areas are most active at the moment. b. Only fMRI measures responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Only MRI shows which brain areas are most active at the moment. c. Both measure responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Only fMRI shows which brain areas are most active at the moment. d. Both measure responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Both show which brain areas are most active at the moment.arrow_forwardMarie is playing soccer with her friends. At one point, she is texting her sister instead of paying attention to the game. At that moment, Marie is hit hard in the back of the head with a soccer ball and is knocked unconscious. When she comes to, she explains that she saw flashes of light right when she was hit with the ball. How can you explain this phenomenon? Use the ideas of modality and labeled line coding to explain your answer.arrow_forwardA group of psychologists wondered if inhaling pure oxygen could enhance a person's mental capacity. They tested forty-five students. These students breathed through a face mask for one minute. They were either given pure oxygen or normal air, but they did not know which. Those receiving pure oxygen could recall twice as many words as those receiving normal air (from Mihill, 1996). Using your knowledge of the nervous system, sensory system and endocrine system, suggests reasons for memory improvement as well as which structures may be involved. Be sure to prove your argument!*arrow_forward

When the monkey hears the squeaking of the ball e. When another monkey grabs a peanut f.

However, when sighted individuals run their fingers over the raised letters of Braille, the visual centers do not show increased activity. Explain these experimental results.arrow_forward
