brain are responsible for the conscious mind?
a. monism c. dualism
b. behaviorism d. relativism
ANS: A DIF: Medium REF: 1.1 A Historical
Perspective
OBJ: 1.1 MSC: Analyzing
6. René Descartes posited that the mind was separate from the body. However, he
implicated a single brain structure, the pineal gland, as having what function?
a. regulating feelings and emotions c. moderating cognitive processes
b. connecting the mind and the body d. adjusting behavior

Story OBJ: 1.2 MSC: Remembering
10. Phrenologists believed that the contour of the skull could provide valuable information about
an
individual’s cognitive capacities and personality traits. This approach was based on the
assumption that
a. skull protrusions are caused by disproportionate development of the
brain areas beneath them, which are responsible for different specific
functions.
b. certain traits such as aggressiveness lead to life experiences and
injuries that alter the shape of the skull in specific ways.
c. life experiences and injuries that alter the shape of the skull in specific
ways lead to certain traits, such as aggressiveness.
d. the development of the skull bones directly influences the configuration
of the soft brain areas beneath them, which are responsible for different
