Cognition- Exploring the science of the mind Exam Bank Solution Manual (Already Passed)
Capgras syndrome - Answers It is characterized by unability to recognize things and beliving they are not
real. For example, if I am a Capgras patient, I might do not recognize my father as he is. He look familiar
for me, but it would not give the feeling that he is father.
Cogntive Appraisal and Emotional Appraisal - Answers In regards to capgras syndrome, cognitive
appraisal is the ability to recognize the physical charastherisctics of a person, however, the emotional
appraisal is not identified that is why a patient with this condition might state that the person look
familiar, but they do not know who they are.
Neuroimaging Techniques - Answers The neuroimaging techniques are the one who allow researchers to
find a connection among emotional appraisal and capgras syndrome. CTs, PET scans, MRI, fMRI, and EEG
are the most famous neuroimaging techniques. CTs are x-rays, and MRI use magnetism. These
techniques purpose is to indetify the structural of the brain. Meanwhile, the PET (glucose is followed to
see which areas of the brain are utilize more), fMRI (oxygen is tracked to indetify brain activity), EGG
(electrical charges or neurotransmitters are monitored) have the same purpose to identify the area that
is being stimulated or not.
Brain - Answers The brain has 3 trillion of neurons. There are roughly 10 times more glial cells than
neurons. Glial surround the neurons as an insolation material. They are the most common cells in the
central nerve system. In 1861, Paul Broca was the first research that noticed the important damage one
area of the brain could do to another one, or in another words each area has a specify function. Phineas
Gage, for instance, was reported by Paul Broca as having diffilcuty to talk after a metal bar perforated
into his head.
Frontal Lobe - Answers Focus on the personality and emotional
Left lobe - Answers Focus on ability to speak
Hindman - Answers The hindman is the first area of the brain that starts where the spinal cord ends. The
hindman function involves heart beat, breathing and posture. The biggest area of the hindman is the
cerebelum which main funciton is to rely sensory information and interpretation sounds and condinate
movements.
Midman - Answers Its main function is movement, including eyes. The midman also transported
information from the ears to the forebrain.
Forebrain - Answers Forebrain is the largest area of the human body. It contains the cerabral cortex.
Longitudinal fissure - Answers It is the largest groove of the brain that goes from the front of the brain to
the back.
Fissures and brain - Answers Others fissures divide the brain in two, and the areas divided are called
after the bone that cover them.
Capgras syndrome - Answers It is characterized by unability to recognize things and beliving they are not
real. For example, if I am a Capgras patient, I might do not recognize my father as he is. He look familiar
