A common neuropsycholgical test of frontal-lobe damage is the
|
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
|
|
With respect to sensorimotor learning, the advantage of transferring control to lower circuits of the neural hierarchy is that it
|
frees the higher levels of the nervous system to deal with more complex issues
|
|
Apraxia is usually cause by lesions to the
|
left posterior parietal lobe
|
|
The main medullary nucleus of the gustatory system is the
|
solitary nucleus
|
|
The perception of both pain and changes in skin temperature are largely mediated by
|
free nerve endings
|
|
If a rat receives a single painful stimulus from an object in a test box containing commercial bedding material, the rat will ususally investigate the object and then
|
bury it
|
|
Muscles are protected from damage caused by excessive contraction by
|
Golgi tendon organs
|
|
In comparison to the photopic system, the scotopic system has more
|
all of the above
|
|
Which of the following measures changes in magnetic fields on the surface of the brain?
|
MEG
|
|
With respect to vision, wavelength is to intensity as
|
Color is to brightness
|
|
The axons of the auditory nerves synapse in the ipsilateral
|
cochlear nuclei
|
|
The sodium amytal test and dichotic listening tests are tests of
|
language lateralization
|
|
Two major olfactory pathways leave the amygdala-piriform area. One project diffusely to the limbic system; the other projects to the
|
medial dorsal nuclei of the thalamus and then to the orbitofrontal cortex (its the longest one)
|
|
The component theory provides the best explanation of color coding at the
|
receptor level
|
|
Prestriate cotex and inferotemporal cortex are considered to be areas of
|
secondary visual cortex
|
|
The supplementary motor area and the premotor cortex are considered to be areas of
|
secondary motor cortex
|
|
Which of the following provides the most detailed three-dimensional view of the structure of the living human brain?
|
MRI
|
|
In general, the dorsolateral corticospinal tract controls the muscles of the
|
hands and feet
|
|
The loudness, pitch, and timbre of a sound are directly related to the___ respectively, of the vibration that produce it
|
AFC... amplitude, frequency, and complexity
|
|
Positron emission tomogrpahy is valuable research tool because it
|
provides an image of brain function
|
|
According to Ungerleider and Mishkin, "where" is to "what" as
|
Dorsal stream is to ventral stream
|
|
Magnocellular neurons are particularly responsive to
|
movement
|
|
The consequences of cerebellar damage include
|
all of these
|
|
Modern biopsychological theory considers sensory systems to be
|
hierarchical, functionally segregated, and parallel (the only one that starts with hierarchical)
|
|
Which contrast X-ray technique is designed to locate vascular abnormalities in the brains of human patients?
|
cerebral angiography (the only one that is not an abbrev)
|
|
Posterior parietal cortex is considered to be
|
association cortex
|
|
The decision to initiate a voluntary response seems to be made in the
|
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
|
|
Antianxiety drugs tend to reduce the amount of
|
both B and C
|
|
Alpha wave EEG activity is associated with
|
relaxed wakefulness
|
|
The dorsal-column medial-lemniscus sytem is particulary responsive to
|
touch and proprioception
