While studying brain function, it is often useful to think of development in terms of , which is the perspective of . a. cognition; cognitive neuroscience c. blood flow; magnetic resonance imaging b. survival; evolution d. dysfunction; psychopathology ANS: B DIF: Difficult REF: 1.1 A Historical Perspective OBJ: 1.1 MSC: Analyzing 5. Which stance would most likely hold an assumption that physical elements of the brain are responsible for the conscious mind? a. monism c. dualism b. behaviorism d. relativism ANS: A DIF: Medium REF: 1.1 A Historical Perspective OBJ: 1.1 MSC: Analyzing 6. René Descartes posited that the mind was separate from the body. However, he implicated a single brain structure, the pineal gland, as having what function? a. regulating feelings and emotions c. moderating cognitive processes b. connecting the mind and the body d. adjusting behavior ANS: B DIF: Easy REF: 1.1 A Historical Perspective OBJ: 1.1 MSC: Remembering 7.

A central issue of modern cognitive neuroscience is whether specific human cognitive abilities a. arise from networks of brain areas working together. b. are determined by the shape and size of the human skull or the brain beneath. c. are best studied using the scientific method. d. can be best identified using the Golgi silver method of staining or fMRI. ANS: A DIF: Medium REF: 1.2 The Brain Story OBJ: 1.2 MSC: Understanding 9. The discipline of phrenology was founded by a. Broca and Wernicke. c. Ramón y Cajal and Sherrington. b. Fritsch and Hitzig. d. Gall and Spurzheim. ANS: D DIF: Easy REF: 1.2 The Brain Story OBJ: 1.2 MSC: Remembering 10. Phrenologists believed that the contour of the skull could provide valuable information about an individual’s cognitive capacities and personality traits. This approach was based on the assumption that a. skull protrusions are caused by disproportionate development of the brain areas beneath them, which are responsible for different specific functions. b. certain traits such as aggressiveness lead to life experiences and injuries that alter the shape of the skull in specific ways. c. life experiences and injuries that alter the shape of the skull in specific ways lead to certain traits, such as aggressiveness. d. the development of the skull bones directly influences the configuration of the soft brain areas beneath them, which are responsible for different specific functions.
