12. True or False True
Cognition encompasses processes such as
memo- ry, perception, reasoning, problem-solving,
and deci- sion-making.
13. True or False
False
The prefrontal cortex is responsible for balance,
coor- dination, and motor control.
14. What is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) Mapping brain
activity
primarily used for?
Evaluating blood flow in
arteries Visualizing soft tissue
organs Mapping brain activity
Detecting fractures in bones
15. refers to the initial processing of information, Encoding
where sensory input is transformed into a form
that the brain can store and use.
16. involves retaining this encoded information over time, Storage
while retrieval is the process of getting stored
informa- tion when needed.
