Textbook Question
Chapter 49, Problem 9TYU
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 that sign language but could not readily generate sign language that represented his thoughts. Propose two hypotheses that could explain this finding. How might you distinguish between them?

When expert pianists listen to familiar, well-practiced music, they imagine the finger movements, and the finger area of their motor cortex becomes active, even if they are not moving their fingers (Haueisen & Knösche, 2001). If we regard those neurons as another kind of mirror neuron, what do these results imply about the origin of mirror neurons?
What is the semantic category approach? What do the results of Huth’s imaging experiment in which participants had their brain scanned while listening to stories indicate about how concepts are represented in the brain?
Emergency 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 system

- 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_forwardComparing 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_forwardScientists are experimenting with new technologies that could help people with missing limbs. In one investigation, electrodes implanted in the nervous tissue of a monkey were connected to an artificial hand. The monkey's nervous system was able to direct the artificial hand to move. The below image shows the monkey raising a piece of zucchini to its mouth using the thought-controlled robotic are (A). a. Using a flowchart, illustrate the basic neural pathway from the sensory stimulus to the motor output. b. What are some other potential applications for this technology? c.

- Marie 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_forwardConsciousness can be defined as a set of action potentials occurring among neurons in which of the following views? a. behavioral c. cognitive neuroscience b. sociocultural d. evolutionaryarrow_forwardThe fact that synaptogenesis happens at different ages in different areas of the brain differs, helps to explain: a.

- Let’s examine a neural pathway that involved three (3) neurons in sequence: one propagates an action potential from threshold stimulus of receptor to spinal cord; second propagates action potential superiorly to brain stem; and third propagates action potential from brain stem to part of cerebral cortex involved in perceiving the stimulus. Which of the following is correct classification of these neurons: a. all three are presynaptic b. first is presynaptic, other two are postsynaptic c. first and second are presynaptic, third is postsynaptic d. first and second are presynaptic, second and third are postsynaptic e. all three are postsynapticarrow_forwardWhen the right hemisphere reacts to something it sees, causing a behavior that the left hemisphere can feel, how does the left hemisphere react?A.

This system utilizes a central pattern generator to regulate repetitive and rhythmic movements. b. This system is activated when you need to modify your movement depending on environmental conditions, such as adjusting to the weight and speed of an object. c. This system permits rapid motor reactions to unexpected changes in the environment. d. This system is activated when you perform a skilled movement, such as completing an expert golf swing or performing a gymnastics routine. e.
