Ruth and Debbie are identical twins who were raised by the same family. Vince and Frankie are identical twins who were separated at birth and raised by different families. According to research on the heritability of personality traits, Ruth's and Debbie's personalities are statistically
more likely to be similar to one another than are Vince’s and Frankie’s personalities
likely to be as similar and dissimilar to one another as are Vince’s and Frankie’s personalities
more likely to be dissimilar to one another than are Vince’s and Frankie’s personalities
less likely to match on the personality dimensions of agreeableness and extraversion than are Vince and Frankie but not on other personality dimensions
less likely to match on the personality dimensions of openness and neuroticism than are Vince and Frankie but not on other personality dimensions
1.
Johnny often hits his brother even though his
brother does not do anything to antagonize him. Johnny’s aggression is most likely due to a combination of
his genetic makeup, the fact that aggression can be evolutionarily adaptive, and a lack of neuroplasticity
developmental delays, the fact that aggression can be evolutionarily adaptive, and a lack of neuroplasticity
the environment he grew up in, developmental delays, and the fact that aggression can be evolutionarily adaptive

A neuron sends a signal along its
dendrite
optic chiasm

neurotransmitter
nucleus
the medulla oblongata is a part of the
cerebellum
prefrontal cortex

corpus callosum
1.
Which of the following describes what happens when a neuron sends a signal?
The neuron goes from being positively charged to briefly being negatively charged, and finally returns to being positively charged again. The magnitude of the negative charge is fixed regardless of the strength of the input signal it receives.
The neuron goes from being negatively charged to briefly being positively charged, and finally returns to being negatively charged again. The magnitude of the negative charge is fixed regardless of the strength of the input signal it receives.
The neuron goes from being negatively charged to briefly being positively charged, and finally returns to being negatively charged again. The magnitude of the positive charge varies depending on the strength of the input signal it receives.
The neuron goes from being positively charged to briefly being negatively charged, and finally returns to being positively charged again. The magnitude of the negative charge varies depending on the strength of the input signal it receives.
The neuron goes from being negatively charged to being positively charged, and then it remains at that level until it fires again. The magnitude of the positive charge varies depending on the strength of the input signal it receives.
1.
If a body does not have enough potassium, how might that affect neuronal firing?
The neurons will fire too easily because there will not be enough negatively charged ions to maintain a negatively charged resting state.
The neurons will fire too easily because there will not be enough positively charged ions to maintain a positively charged resting state
The neurons will struggle to fire because there will not be enough positively charged ions to trigger the firing of the neuron.
The neurons will struggle to fire because there will not be enough negatively charged ions to trigger the firing of the neuron.
The neurons will struggle to fire because potassium binds to receptors and inhibits neuronal firing
antagonists function by
mimicking neurotransmitters that bind to neural receptors to cause neural firing
blocking receptors to prevent other neurotransmitters from binding to the neural receptors
prompting the production of neurotransmitters
strengthening the connections between neurons
raising the threshold at which the neuron will fire
A drug that is used to treat seizures functions by preventing inhibitory neurotransmitters from returning to the presynaptic neuron. This slows the rate of neurons firing by increasing the amount of the inhibitory neurotransmitter in the synapse. The drug is most likely to be classified as
GABA reuptake inhibitor (GRI)
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
halluciongen
stimulant
beta blocker
The phenomenon of declining physiological effects of taking a drug after sustained use is referred
endorphin release
withrawal
long-term potentiation
tolerance
a relapse
Michael Gazzaniga is best known for
showing that cats can learn to escape puzzle boxes
conditioning Little Albert to be fearful of rats
studying attachment styles in children
studying false memories
studying split-brain patients
1.
An adult with a healthy sleep cycle is most likely to enter REM sleep
immediately after falling sleep
after the dream stage is completed
after cycling through the NREM sleep stages
only as necessary to prevent waking
soon after falling asleep and then remain there for the majority of the night
1.
The psychodynamic theory of dreaming would postulate that
time spent dreaming helps with problem solving and creativity
people sleep more after they have engaged in strenuous physical activity
dreams are the brain’s way of making sense of random neural activity
dreams fulfill unconscious wishes
lions sleep more than deer
1.
Carl Wernicke discovered the region of the brain that is responsible for
visual perception
sense of balance
memory consolidation
language comprehension
language production
