One technique used to study the brain in relation to behavior is:

• MRI scanning

• Classical conditioning

• Operant conditioning

• Naturalistic observation

The concept that specific areas of the brain are responsible for specific functions is known as:

• Neuroplasticity

• Localization of brain function

• Synaptic pruning

• Cerebral dominance

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. Which study is commonly cited as evidence for neuroplasticity?

• Milner and Scoville (1957) - HM case study

• Maguire et al. (2000) - London taxi drivers

• Bandura et al. (1961) - Bobo doll experiment

• Asch (1951) - Conformity experiments

The effect of one hormone on human behavior can be explained with reference to which of the following studies?

• Baumgartner et al. (2008) on oxytocin and trust

• Bandura et al. (1961) on social learning

• Sperry (1968) on split-brain patients

• Loftus and Palmer (1974) on memory reconstruction

One evolutionary explanation of behavior is demonstrated by which of the following studies?

• Bandura et al. (1961) - Bobo doll experiment

• Darwin (1859) - Theory of Natural Selection

• Buss (1989) - Cross-cultural study of mate preferences

• Loftus and Palmer (1974) - Eyewitness testimony

The Working Memory Model can be explained with reference to which of the following studies?

• Baddeley and Hitch (1974)

• Loftus and Palmer (1974)

• Bartlett (1932)

• Milner (1966)

The Multi-Store Model of memory was proposed by which psychologists, and which study is commonly used to support it?

• Atkinson and Shiffrin; Peterson and Peterson (1959)

• Baddeley and Hitch; Loftus and Palmer (1974)

• Miller and Sperling; Bartlett (1932)

• Tulving and Craik; Glanzer and Cunitz (1966)

Explain one study related to schema theory.

• Bartlett (1932) - War of the Ghosts

• Bandura (1961) - Bobo Doll Experiment

• Milgram (1963) - Obedience Study

• Asch (1951) - Conformity Experiment

Explain one study of acculturation.

• Berry (1997) study on acculturation strategies

• Bandura (1961) Bobo doll experiment

• Asch (1951) conformity experiment

• Milgram (1963) obedience study

One or more theories of stereotyping include:
