Which of the following statements is not true about the biological approach?

• Often behaviours can be described by a single biological factor.

• Behaviours can be passed down from generation to generation via genetics.

• Animals can be used to understand human behaviour.

• It believes that our behaviour is the result of the interaction of biological and environmental factors.

Biologists argue that when genes interact with the environment, they are "turned on" or "turned off." This process is known as

• The interactionist approach

• Gene expression

• Gene mutation

• Reductionism

Which of the following is not a reason for carrying out research on animals?

• Animals and humans have similar physiology - that is, brains, nervous systems and endocrine systems.

• Many animals - such as chimpanzees and mice - have a similar genetic makeup to humans

• Reseachers are not bound to ethical considerations like they are in human research.

• Research can be carried out on animals that would ethically problematic with humans.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a case study?

• They are often longitudinal

• They often use method triangulation to increase credibility

• They are often holistic, not focusing only a single variable.

• They can be replicated in order to establish reliability

Which of the following is an example of triangulation?

• Repeating a study in order to establish reliability

• Carrying out a study over months and carrying out several observations.

• Asking a participant to come to three different interviews

• Having more than one researcher observe an individual and gather data

To what extent is it possible to generalize from a single case study?

• You cannot generalize from a single case study.

• If they are biological, you can always generalize from a single case study.

• A single case study must be compared to other similar case studies to identify a trend.

• A single case study can be generalized only if it is confirmed through animal research.

Which of the following is not a conclusion that we can draw from the HM study?

• Memory is stored in the hippocampus.

• Different types of memory may be transferred to long-term memory differently.

• The hippocampus plays a role in transferring information from short-term to long-term memory.

• The hippocampus plays a role in retrieving information from long-term memory.

Which brain imaging technique could be considered invasive?

• CT scans

• PET scans

• MRI scans

• fMRI scans

Which of the following is true about the use of brain imaging techniques in the study of brain?

• The emotional state of an individual being scanned can interfere with the quality of the data collected.

• The colors help researchers to understand exactly what is happening in the brain.

• The scanner is a natural environment, so the results have high ecological validity.

• An fMRI or MRI cannot be replicated, so these studies are not highly reliable.

What is a key difference between and MRI and an fMRI?

• MRI's are invasive; fMRI's are not

• MRIs show coloured images of the brain; the fMRI is green and black.

• MRI's show the structure of the brain; fMRIs show the functioning brain.

• MRI's are more claustrophobic than fMRIs.
