TEST TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS 2026 ALREADY PASSED
GRADED A+.
◍ Discontinuous development. Answer: takes place in unique stages,
change is sudden
ex. infant developing object promanence
◍ Neurons. Answer: create and transmit information that we
experience and know
◍ action potential. Answer: a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge
that travels down an axon - lasting about 1 millisecond
◍ Neurotransmitters. Answer: chemical messengers released into the
synaptic gap to transmit a signal after neural impulse has traveled the
length of the axon
◍ Synapse. Answer: gap between the end of the neuron's axon and the
dendrities or cell body of another neuron
◍ feature detectors. Answer: neurons that respond selectively to very
specific features of more complex stimuli
,◍ Blakemore and Cooper. Answer: Kittens raised without exposure to
horizontal lines had difficulty perceiving horizontal lines. = brain
structure affects behavior
◍ Hierarchial processing. Answer: progression from lower to higher
areas of the brain
◍ Localization of function. Answer: specific functions are served by
specific areas of the brain
◍ Cortical equipotentiality. Answer: idea that the brain operates as an
indivisible whole, as opposed to a specific area
◍ prospagnosia. Answer: inability to recognize faces
◍ Broca's aphasia. Answer: inability to produce speech = slow, labor
speech
frontal lobe
◍ Wernicke's aphasia. Answer: inability to comprehend speech,
grammar and language
temporal lobe
◍ Fuctional connectivity. Answer: neurons in 2 brain areas correlate
, ◍ sensory coding. Answer: how neurons represent various
characteristics of the environment
◍ Specificity coding. Answer: representation of a specific stimulus by
firing of specifically tuned neurons specialized to just respond to a
specific stimulus
◍ Population coding. Answer: neural representation of a stimulus by
the pattern of firing of a large number of neurons
◍ Sparse coding. Answer: neural coding based on the pattern of
activity in small groups of neurons
◍ Default mode network. Answer: The network of brain structures
that tends to be active when the brain is in default mode, when not
involved in a task, mind wandering
◍ Fusiform Face area. Answer: a region in the temporal lobe of the
brain that helps us recognize the people we know
◍ Extrastriate body area. Answer: A region of the visual association
cortex located in the lateral occipitotemporal cortex; involved in
perception of the human body and body parts other than faces.
◍ The imageless thought debate. Answer: The debate about whether
thought is possible in the absence of images.
