COGNITIVE SCIENCE MIDTERM ALL MIDTERM EXAM REVISION
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (GRADED A+) (100%
GUARANTEE) (2024 UPDATE)
What was are some criticisms by Max Coltheart? - ANSWER- theories must make specific
predictions about brain states, must also be falsifiable so that scientists can improve their research
Consistency Fallacy - ANSWER- the false argument that data supports a theory because the
theory can be made consistent with that data
What can we measure with neuroimaging? - ANSWER- region(s) involved in a cognitive
process, timing of different operations during cognition, testing whether a cognitive process is
occurring, measuring differences in cognition, and measuring representations of different inputs
Arcuate fasciculus - ANSWER- connects language perception and production
Inferior longitudinal fasciculus - ANSWER- connects vision and language
How can the timing of different operations during cognition help measure neuroimaging? -
ANSWER- we can see the process in real time
How can testing whether a cognitive process in neuroimaging help cognitive science? - ANSWER-
it helps us understand if we even realize what we are doing at all
How can measuring individual differences in cognition from neuroimaging help cognitive science?
- ANSWER- it can provide personalized answers
, How can measuring representations of different inputs from neuroimaging help cognitive science?
- ANSWER- we can test for similarities using different theories and tools, helps us draw
comparisons
Centralized Modularity - ANSWER- where every person is assigned a task and receives
constructive feedback and updates
Modular Modularity - ANSWER- where each person is assigned a certain task at the start and
completes the task independently
Defining Features of a Module - ANSWER- Encapsulation, Specialization, Localization
Encapsulation - ANSWER- Information outside the module is not available inside the module
(is lower-level form of analysis)
Specialization - ANSWER- Restricted to a specific domain and applies a specific algorithm
Localization - ANSWER- Implemented in a restricted region that is dedicated to that function
Two Extreme Views of Modularity: - ANSWER- the mind is built from domain-general
systems that implement general algorithms using many parts of the brain; The mind is built from
domain-specific systems that implement task-specific algorithms in specific parts of the brain
Response Bias - ANSWER- tendency of subjects to systematically respond to a stimulus in a
particular way due to nonsensory factors
Prosopagnosia - ANSWER- inability to recognize familiar faces
