PSYC 140 MODULE 6 EXAM FINAL PAPER 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉ Axial plane. Answer: Divides body horizontally into two regions.
◉ Basal ganglia. Answer: Structures below cerebral hemispheres
involved in voluntary movement.
◉ Brain stem. Answer: "Trunk" of the brain containing medulla,
pons, midbrain, and diencephalon.
◉ Callosotomy. Answer: Surgical procedure in which the corpus
callosum is severed (for severe epilepsy).
◉ Case study. Answer: Detailed consideration is given to the
development of a specific person/group/situation over period of
time.
◉ Cerebellum. Answer: The distinctive structure at the back of the
brain, Latin for "small brain."
, ◉ Cerebral cortex. Answer: Outermost gray matter of cerebrum; the
distinctive "folds" characteristic of the mammalian brain.
◉ Cerebral hemispheres. Answer: The cerebral cortex, underlying
white matter, and sub cortex structures.
◉ Cerebrum. Answer: The cerebral cortex and associated white
matter (sometimes including sub cortex structures)
◉ Contralateral. Answer: The two hemispheres of the brain process
sensory information and motor commands for the opposite side of
the body (left hemisphere controls the right side of body).
◉ Converging evidence. Answer: Similar findings reported from
multiple studies using different methods.
◉ Coronal plane. Answer: A vertical plane that divides the body into
front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections
◉ Diffuse optical imaging (DOI). Answer: A neuroimaging technique
that infers brain activity through changes in light as it passes
through the skull/brain surface.
