What was the main aim of Maguire's study on London taxi drivers?

• To compare the driving skills of taxi drivers and non-drivers

• To investigate the impact of stress on taxi drivers

• To see if the brains of taxi drivers were different due to their navigation experience

• To analyze the sleep patterns of taxi drivers

How many right-handed male London taxi drivers participated in the study?

• 10

• 16

• 25

• 50

What was the control group in the study?

• Left-handed taxi drivers

• Right-handed males who did not drive taxis

• Female taxi drivers

• Taxi drivers from other cities

What test did participants have to complete to be part of the study?

• Driving test

• "Knowledge" test

• Memory test

• Spatial awareness test

What type of study was conducted by Maguire?

• Experimental

• Longitudinal

• Correlational

• Case study

What technique was used to measure the density of grey matter in the brain?

• MRI scanning

• Voxel-based morphology (VBM)

• EEG

• CT scan

What did pixel counting reveal about the posterior hippocampi of taxi drivers?

• They were smaller than those of control subjects

• They were significantly larger than those of control subjects

• They were the same size as those of control subjects

• They were non-existent

What was the relationship between the right posterior hippocampi and time spent as a taxi driver?

• No correlation

• Negative correlation

• Positive correlation

• Inverse correlation

What does the study suggest about the hippocampus?

• It is static and unchanging

• It changes in response to environmental demands

• It is only involved in memory

• It is not affected by navigation experience

• Anterior hippocampus

• Posterior hippocampus

• Entire hippocampus

• Left hippocampus
