Practice questions 1. How are functionalism and behaviourism similar? a) Neither approach takes cognitive factors into consideration. b) Both approaches focus on mental processes. c) Both approaches are based on the theory of evolution. d) None of the above. 2. Behaviorism focuses on ____ whereas psychodynamic approach focuses on ____ a) conscious conflict - mental activity b) perception - experience c) behavior - unconscious conflict d) none of the above 3. Behaviour is determined by ____ causes. a) internal b) multiple c) external d) biological 4. Which of the following is not part of the scientific method? a) formulating hypothesis b) ignoring previous research c) determining the truth d) communicating the results 5. The steps of the scientific method are listed below in no specific order. i - designing the experiment ii - identifying the problem and formulating a hypothesis iii - communicating the results iv - determining the "truth" through statistical analyses Which of the following series of steps is in the correct order for the scientific method? a) i, ii, iii, iv b) ii, iv, i, iii c) ii, i, iv, iii d) i, iv, ii, iii 6. Which term did Descartes use to explain the stimulus-reflex mechanism? a) specific nerve energy b) reflex arc c) pineal gland d) reaction time 7. There are three different ways in which various parts of the neuron are involved in signal transmission. While ________ which are the signal-receiving parts of a neuron transmit ____________ potentials towards the cell body, ____________ pass the signal towards the synaptic buttons in the form of __________ potentials. These in turn contribute to the release of _________________ to the synaptic gap. a) axons, graded, dendrites, action, neurotransmitters b) cell body, action, axon, graded, ions c) dendrites, graded, axon, action, neurotransmitters d) dendrites, graded, axon, action, ions e) synaptic buttons, all-or-none, cell body, graded, neurotransmitters 8. In a lab experiment with tissue samples, neuroscience students investigated how neurons communicate sensory signals. They established there are two ways in which this is done: when they monitored the activity of dendrites and axons they found evidence for __________ transmission of signals. When they monitored the synaptic gaps, they found evidence for ___________ transmission of signals. This now well-know phenomenon allows to explain the _____________ of response occurring in the reflex arc. a) graded, all-or-none, facilitation b) electrical, chemical, delay c) molecular, physical, gradation d) chemical, electrical, slow-down e) EPSP, IPSP, flexibility 9. Lizzie finds that she feels depressed during the winter months. Her doctor might prescribe a medication that affects the following neurotransmitter: a) serotonin b) GABA c) epinephrine d) acetylcholine 10. George injured his head and suffers from severe memory loss. Which part of the brain did he likely injure? a) Putamen b) Amygdala c) Hippocampus d) thalamus 11. Which of the following statements is true? a) Action potential starts in the neuron body and goes through the axon b) Graded potential takes place in the dendrites c) Graded potential and action potential are the same things; the only difference is that graded potential is stronger than action potential d) Action potential refers to depolarization, graded potential refers to hyperpolarization 12. Which of the following pairs do not go together? a) Hippocampus - vital functions b) Hypothalamus - motivation c) Cerebellum - motor control d) Amygdala - emotions 13. MRI is to PET as ___ is to ___. a) vascular; blood flow b) functional scan; anatomical scan c) anatomical scan; functional scan d) radiation; x-ray 14. What is the mean, median, mode and range (respectively) for the following distribution? 1,2,3,7,5,4,9,3,2,3,5 a) 5 - 1 - 2 - 8 b) 5 - 2 - 3 - 7 c) 4 - 3 - 3 - 8 d) 4 - 3 - 2 - 6 15. Which of the following statements is true? a) Variance refers to the degree of fluctuation of scores around the mean; b) If the scores in a distribution are clustered more around the mean, it can be concluded that the standard deviation is large c) Variance is obtained by squaring the standard deviation d) z score for the score x is obtained by subtracting the mean from x and dividing the result by the variance 16. The range of the distribution is: a) influenced by extreme scores b) can be equal to that of different distributions of scores c) a descriptive statistic d) all of the above 17. Consider the following set of numbers: 2, 1, 7, 5, 5. Now, consider the following statements: i. the mean is equal to 4 ii. the mode is equal to 5 iii. the range is greater than the mean Which of the following is true? a) Statements i, ii, and iii are false. b) All three statements are true. c) Only statements i and ii are true. d) Only statement i is true. 18. The Weber’s law tells us that ____________, or JND, is directly proportional to ____________ with which the comparison is being made. a) the difference threshold, a Weber fraction b) the relative threshold, the absolute stimulus c) the difference threshold, the magnitude of the stimulus d) the relative stimulus, the stimulus difference 19.

There are two major theories of colour vision: the trichromatic theory and opponentprocess theory. While the tenet of the trichromatic theory is that different types of ____________ are sensitive to different _____________ corresponding to the perceived ____________, the tenet of the double-opponent theory is that each of the different types of ____________ responds in a different way to ____________ different ___________. a) Cones, lights, wavelengths, rods, two, stimuli. b) Rods, wavelengths, colors, cones, two, wavelengths. c) Cones, wavelengths, stimuli, rods, three, colors. d) Cones, wavelengths, colours, cones, two, wavelengths. e) None of the above. 21.
