I notice that women smile more than men. I hypothesize that women are happier than men. This is an example of deduction. False, this is Inductive reasoning because assuming that women are happier than men goes beyond the information contained in what we already know Type of reseasoning: Based on the theory that neural conduction is electrical, I predict that electrical stimulation of my bicep will make my arm move. Deductive reasoning Brainpower 0:08 / 0:15 For example, if I tell you that Will is between the ages of Cate and Abby, and that Abby is older than Cate, you can deduce that Will must be older than Cate. That answer was embedded in the problem, you just had to untangle it from what you already knew. This is how Sudoku puzzles work. Deduction Type of reseasoning: Based on observations that the fluid from one heart can change the heart rate of a different heart, I hypothesize that chemical transmission is involved in controlling heart activity. Inductive reasoning Inductive reasoning Goes beyond the information contained in what we already know and can extend our knowledge into new areas. We can induce using generalisations and analogies Deductive reasoning The answer was embedded in the problem, you just have to untangle it from what you already know Monism Monism is the idea that the mind and the body consist of the same substance. Materialistic Monism body and mind and everything else are physical; this view is called materialistic monism . Dualism The idea that the mind and the brain are separate is known as dualism. Some religions refer to a non-physical spirit or soul that is separate from a physical body. Would such a concept be an example of: Dualism Model A model is a proposed mechanism for how something works. Empiricism which means that they gathered their information through observation rather than logic, intuition, or other means Localization is the idea that specific areas of the brain carry out specific functions. Phrenology phrenology, each of 35 different "faculties" of emotion and intellect—such as combativeness, inhabitiveness (love of home), calculation, and order—was located in a precise area of the brain Equipotentiality equipotentiality is the idea that the brain functions as an undifferentiated whole. A physical therapist applies electrical stimulation to a muscle on the leg that makes the foot flex. This is evidence that neural functioning uses electrical impulses.p True A physical therapist applies electrical stimulation to a muscle on the leg that makes the foot flex. This is evidence that neural functioning uses electrical impulses. True Homologous structures similar structures due to a common evolutionary origin (goose bumps and a cat with fur on end). When having a conversation, there will be enhanced brain activity in: Many areas of the brain involved in hearing, language comprehension and speech The peppered moth's coloring changed: Twice. It darkened at the start of the industrial revolution when pollution darkened the trees and then lightened after the Clean Air Act was passed. The change in the moth's coloring was evidence of: natural selection Analogous structures similar structures without a common origin (bird and bat wings) Convergent evolution the evolution of similar solutions to the same environmental demands by unrelated species (arctic and antarctic fish w/ antifreeze protein) nature versus nurture nature versus nurture question, or how important heredity is relative to environmental influences in shaping behavior. Gene The gene is the biological unit that directs cellular processes and transmits inherited characteristics. Zygote The fertilized egg, or zygote, then undergoes rapid cell division and development on its way to becoming a functioning organism Embryo For the first eight weeks (in humans), the new organism is referred to as an embryo, and from then until birth, as a fetus . Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a double-stranded chain of chemical molecules that looks like a ladder that has been twisted around itself; Alleles different versions of a gene are called alleles. What is an example of a phenotype? a charatertrait What were 2 dependent variables used in Libet's original experiment? EEG measurement of brain activity The timing of the conscious decision to press the button Which of the options below best describes the results of Libet's experiment? The brain activity happened before the conscious decision to press the button. Which of the options below best describes the conclusions that Libet drew from the results? Humans may not have free will because brain activity occurred before they made a conscious decision. Libet's interpretation assumed that the mind and brain were separate entities. True An X-linked gene is: A gene on the X chromosome but NOT on the Y chromosome X-linked human genes Cannot be passed from fathers to sons The peppered moth experiment shows which fact about evolution and Evolutionary pressure? Certain Mutations already within a population are selected
