2(Revision Questions and Answers)
conditioned place preference - Correct Answer--Classical conditioning method used
to determine the rewarding effects of a drug by allowing an animal to associate the
drug with a specific environment and measuring its subsequent preference for that
environment.
Self-administration studies - Correct Answer--operant conditioning study that
involves testing whether research participants will "give themselves" a drug. The
animal makes an association between its behavior and receiving the reward.
In self- administration studies, ________, _________, and _________ can all induce drug-
seeking behavior even after a period of extinction. - Correct Answer--Cue, stress, and
cocaine
wanting - Correct Answer--directly connected with dopamine and reward
liking - Correct Answer--ventral pallidum
construct validity - Correct Answer--the degree to which a test measures what it
claims, or purports, to be measuring
face validity - Correct Answer--Measures whether a test looks like it tests what it is
supposed to test.
, predictive validity - Correct Answer--The success with which a test predicts the
behavior it is designed to predict; it is assessed by computing the correlation between
test scores and the criterion behavior.
external validity - Correct Answer--the extent to which the results of a study can be
generalized to other situations and to other people
pathological validity - Correct Answer--specific to animal models; how well the
model recapitulates the biological causes of pathology in humans
Are the same neural networks involved?
Are similar biological responses induced in the animal model?
frontal lobe - Correct Answer--associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech,
movement, emotions, and problem solving
perietal lobe - Correct Answer--primary somatosensory cortex
general sensory functions interpretation of shapes and textures
temporal lobe - Correct Answer--A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for
hearing and language.
occipital lobe - Correct Answer--A region of the cerebral cortex that processes
visual information
subcortical structures (includes limbic system) - Correct Answer---areas of the
forebrain housed under the cerebral cortex near the very center of the brain
