QuestionAnswer
Question 1: Define the term localization of brain functioneach area of the brain specializes in, or is responsible for a specific function.
Question 2: What is the name of a research study that relates to localization of function in the brain?Broca's Case Study of Tan
Question 3: In which region of Tan's brain did Broca notice damage?left frontal lobe.
Question 4: Name 2 specific language problems experienced by Tan.He could not produce clear and articulate speech, his sentences were short consisting mainly of nouns and verbs.
Question 5: What is one thing relating to language that Tan had no problem withwriting or understanding speech.
Question 6: List 3 principles that define the Biological Level of Analysis.Animal research can provide insight into human behaviour, All behaviour has a physiological basis, patterns of behaviour can be inherited, behaviour may be influenced by evolutionary processes.
Question 7. List 4 things that Broca would have done as part of his CASE study with Tan.Gained a detailed case history, carried out observations, interviews with Tan and his family, conducted tests to determine the extent of his language problems, kept detailed notes and records of all of his findings.
Question 8: Place the following parts of a neuron in order to show how a neural message would travel through a neuron. (Start with the cell body).Cell body, dendrites, axon, terminal sacs, axon terminals, receptor cells of post synaptic neuron, synapse, neurotransmitter released check answer with Mrs. D.
Question 9: What are two behaviours that may be affected by dopamine.addiction and the driving behaviours associated with love.
Question 10: Is dopamine a hormone or a neurotransmitter?neurotransmitter
Question 11: What is one behaviour that is affected by acetylcholine.memory and behaviours associated with memory.
Question 12. What is the name of a study that supports the role of dopamine in addiction?James Olds
Question 13. What is the name of a study that supports the role of dopamine in the driving behaviours associated with love?Helen Fisher
Question 14: What is the aim of Helen Fisher's study?To examine which areas of the brain are active when a person looks at an image of their loved one.
Question 15: What is the aim of James Olds' study?To examine the effects of stimulation of the nucleus accumbens and the release of dopamine have on the behviour or rats. OR to examine the role of the necleus accumbens and the release of dopamine on rats.
Question 16. Name two principle of the biological level of analysis that are related to James Olds' study.All behaviour has a physiological basis. Animal research can provide insight into human behaviour.
Question 17. Explain what the HPA axis is and what it results in the release of.The hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland, which releases the hormone ACTH which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the hormone cortisol.
Question 18. Is acetylcholine a hormone or a neurotransmitter?neurotransmitter.
Question 19: What is the name of an experiment that provides support for the role of acetylcholine in memory?Martinez and Kesner.
Question 20: How does Martinez and kesner's study demonstrate the principle that animal research can provide insight into human behaviour?It is asummed that rats and humans have similar physiological systems. Therefore, if rats have improved and impaired memory as a result of vary levels of acetylcholine, it is possible that human memory may be impacted in the same way.
Question 21. What is the name of a hormone that is associated with the sleep wake cycle?Melatonin
Question 22. How and when is Melatonin produced?By the pineal gland. It is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light.
Question 23: What is the name of a research study that supports the role of melatonin in the sleep wake cycle? What was the aim of the study?Kulmen et al. The aim was to test whether sleep disturbances experienced by children suffering from autism was possibly the result of insufficient melatonin levels.
Question 24. What is the name of the study that supports the impact that cortisol can have on memory and the behaviours associated with memory?Newcomer et al.
Question 25. What type of research design was used by Newcomer?Independent group's deisgn.
Question 26: What were the results of newcomers study?Memory impairment was seen in participants with high levels of cortisol but only after 4 days of exposure. No memory impairment was seen in participants with low levels of cortisol.
