What is a key difference between and MRI and an fMRI?
MRI's show the structure of the brain; fMRIs show the functioning brain
MRI's are more claustrophobic than fMRIs
MRIs show coloured images of the brain; the fMRI is green and black
MRI's are invasive; fMRI's are not
Which of the following is not true of Rosenzweig, Bennett & Diamond's (1972) study?
It is difficult to generalize the findings to humans
The experiment was able to control for extraneous (confounding) variables
There are ethical concerns regarding the treatment of the animals in the study
There was evidence of neuroplasticity in the rats - the brains were denser as a result of dendritic branching in the enriched environmental condition
What was the control condition in the study by Rogers and Kesner?
The injection with a saline solution
The injection with scopolamine
The group that received no injection
The injection with physostigmine
Which of the following is a function of adrenaline?
The bonding between a mother and child
Responding to threat
Regulating the body's circadian rhythm and sleep patterns
Violence and extreme aggressive behaviour
Name 1 study that can be used in support of the process of neurotransmission?
Antonova
HM
Dragansky
Maguire
A decrease in the number of synapses as a result of the removal of dendritic branches. This is called
Dendritic Branching
Neural Networks
Neural Pruning
Long Term Potentiation
Chemicals that block the receptor site and do not allow the neurotransmitter to do its job, so no action potential is sent down the neuron
Synapse
Axon
Antangonist
Agonist
A study seeks to examine which brain regions become activated when looking at images of objects compared to looking at images of people. Which technology would be useful?
MRI
fMRI
CT scan
X rays
What is the electric signal that travels along a neuron called?
Neurotransmitter
Receptor Site
Synaptic cleft
Action Potential
Experiments conducted in the lab that are rigorously controlled are known to have
Low Internal Validity
High Ecological Validity
High Internal Validity
High External Validity
One study that supports Localisation of function is by
Dragansky
Rogers and Kessner
Newcomer
Antonova
Maguire's study was an example of a quasi experiment
True
False
Newcomer's study found that
Participants in the high cortisol condition performed the best in the memory task
Participants in the control condition performed the best in the memory task
Participants in the moderate cortisol condition performed the best in the memory task
One study that can be used to support agonists is by
Milner
Dragansky
Rosenzweig, Bennet and Diamond
Antonova
Unused neurotransmitter is absorbed back through a process called
Diffusion
Reuptake
Neurotransmission
Localisation
