Assignment 1
1. Why is neuroscience important to psychology in general and to industrial
and organisational psychology in particular?
A: Neuroscience applied to psychology promotes the understanding of
psychological well-being and how people cope with and adjust to work-life
demands that induce stress.
B:Neuroscience applies the understanding of biological processes in the
physiological structure or anatomy of the human body to explain human
behaviour, cognition and emotion.
C. Neuroscience helps psychologists to understand the anatomy of the body and
the brain and how it affects how we feel, think and act.
D. All of these
2. Which of the following best describe the communication process between
neurons?
A. Neurotransmitters, stored in the soma, are released into the synapse to bind at
the receptor sites of the postsynaptic neuron's dendrite. Neurotransmitters are
then fired from the dendrites to the axom in the presynaptic neuron, and travels to
another synaptic cleft to continue the firing of action potential.
B. Neurotransmitters, stored in the cell nucleus, are released into the axon terminals
when the neuron is stimulated by another neuron's firing of action potential. The
neurotransmitters then bind with the mitochondria of the receiving or postsynaptic
neuron. Neurotransmitters are quickly transmitted into the synapse by reuptake in
the presynaptic neuron.
C. Neurotransmitters are released into the postsynaptic cleft when the dendrites is
stimulated by another neuron's synapses. The neurotransmitters then send a
neural impulse to the presynaptic receptor site. Neurotransmitters are quickly
deactivated by dissolving into the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron, to make
space for other transmitters.
D. Neurotransmitters, stored in the axom terminals, are released into the synaptic
cleft when the neuron is stimulated by another neuron's firing of action potential.
The neurotransmitters then bind at the receptor sites of the receiving or
postsynaptic neuron. Neurotransmitters are quickly deactivated by removal into
the synapse or by reuptake in the presynaptic neuron, to make space for other
transmitters.
,3. Neurons transmit messages to other neurons by means of chemical substances
that are called….
A. action potential.
B. neural impulses.
C. neurotransmitters.
D. synaptic voltage.
4. After a career counselling assessment, the counsellor recommends the
following career to Magret, who is right-brain dominant:
A. Accounting.
B. Creative arts.
C. Systems analyst.
D. Auditing.
5. The definition of a South African entrepreneur is somebody who is a/an ______.
A. authentic person, tapping into internal power to live purposefully.
B. specialist taking risks.
C. person who hopes to profit by buying cheap.
D. hero in creating new industries.
6. What do we know about the direction in which chemical messages travel
between the neurons in the body?
A. Messages between neurons travel in multiple directions, namely from the
dendrites to the cell body and from there along the axon to the axon terminals to
numerous other axon terminals.
B. Messages between neurons travel in dual direction, namely from the axon
terminals to the dendrites and back.
C. Messages between neurons travel in one direction, following a path from the
dendrites, through the cell and axon to the axon terminals and then to other
neuron dendrites.
D. None of these
7. The neocortex are two large cerebral hemispheres in the brain, with the
following characteristics:
A. it is flexible and has invite learning ability.
, B. It is consistent and reliable and does not change over time.
C. It is rigid and compulsive which is necessary for the fight/flight response.
D. It evolves over time to integrate different values and emotions to objectively judge
others.
8. You hear your phone ring, see the caller name on the screen and recognize that
it is your friend calling with whom you had a fight yesterday. You still feel angry
and decide not to answer the phone. This process of hearing and seeing
information, ascribing meaning to the information and acting accordingly, is a
description of which anatomical process or function?
A. None of these
B. The behavioural system of feeling, thinking and acting.
C. A neurological function of understanding and thinking.
D. The information processing function of the nervous system.
9. Work because of technological developments has shifted the focus of work
from socially meaningful to functionally meaningful. This means machines carry
out_____ and humans carry out the____.
A. process, production
B. production, process
C. work, management
D. production, planning
10. There are two kinds of labour according to the International Labour
organisation.Those people who earn salaries or wages and enjoy social protection
are part of the ______ labour force
A. informal
B. management
C. formal
D. Self-employed
11. The following describes an example of on-demand work as an independent
alternative form of work in Industry 4.0________.
A. Part-time employee
B. Interior designer
C. Freelance editor
D. Uber driver
12. The International Labour Organisation defines informal labour where workers
enjoy social protection.
