PSYCHOLOGY 14TH EDITION EXAM SCRIPT
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED
A+
◉ localization of function. Answer: different parts of the brain perform
and specialize in different functions
◉ biological psychology. Answer: the use of advanced technology to
link psychological and physiological processes
◉ biopsychosocial systems. Answer: we are large biological systems
working together to perform many actions
◉ neuroplasticity. Answer: the idea that our actions and experiences
shape the development and growth of our brain
◉ cultural neuroscience. Answer: the study of how different cultural
traditions, beliefs, and rituals create distinct behaviors and brain
activation patterns
◉ neurons. Answer: cell body and branching fibers that transmit
information electrochemically
, ◉ dendrite. Answer: a fiberous part of a neuron that recieves
information. It conducts ions towards the cell body. Dendrites listen
◉ axon. Answer: a tubular part of the neuron that sends information to
other neurons, muscles, or glands. Axons speak
◉ myelin sheath. Answer: a layer of fatty tissue that insulates axons
allowing for faster signal speed.
◉ glial cells. Answer: a network of nerve cells which serve to support
the neurons by providing nutrients to build and repair myelin, guiding
neural routes, mop up extra ions and neurotransmitters.
◉ neural impulse. Answer: action potential, a brief electrical charge of
ions that travel down the neuron through the axon.
◉ excitatory neural signals. Answer: speed up the flow of ions through
the neuron
◉ inhibitory neural signals. Answer: slow down the flow of ions through
the neuron
