A

Kasamatsu and Hirai, 1999

Brenner, 1980

23

A

Harlowe, 1848

25

A

Martinez and Kesner, 1991

Kasamatsu and Hirai, 1999

26
Q

Discuss effects of the environment on physiological processes.

A

Maguire, 2000

27
Q

Examine one interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behavior.

A

Vestergaard-Paulsen, 2009

28
Q

Discuss the use of brain imaging technologies in investigating the relationship between biological factors and behavior.

A

Small and Vorgan, 2008

Davidson, 2004

29
Q

To what extent does genetic inheritance influence behavior?

A

Bouchard, 1990

30
Q

Examine one evolutionary explanation of behavior.

A

Matsuzawa, 2007

Fessler, 2006

31
Q

Discuss ethical considerations in research into genetic influences on behavior.

A

Bouchard, 1990

32
Q

Kasamatsu and Hirai, 1999

A

To see how sensory deprivation affects the brain by increasing the serotonin levels in Buddhist monks during a pilgrimage - high levels of serotonin cause hallucinations

33
Q

Martinez and Kesner, 1991

A

To determine the role of acetylcholine on memory by sending rats with different levels of acetylcholine through a maze a second time - high acetylcholine rats had a better memory of the maze

34
Q

Brenner, 1980

A

To determine the cause of abnormally aggressive behavior in a family of Dutch men - they had a MAO-A deficiency, which was passed down through a chromosome

35
Q

Shih, 2001

A

To determine if a lack of MAO-A caused mice to be more violent - the absence of the gene caused abnormal violent behavior

36
Q

Harlowe, 1848

A

A study of Phineas Gage, a man who had an iron rod go through his frontal lobe - his personality changed but everything else remained the same: supports brain localization

37
Q

Maguire, 2000

A

To identify if London cab drivers had structural differences in their brain due to learning their jobs by using MRIs to compare the hippocampi - cab drivers had more volume because they had more neural connections needed for spatial memory

38
Q

Vestergaard-Paulsen, 2009

A

To investigate whether meditation could lead to a change in brain structure y comparing the brains of regular and new meditators using MRIs - structural differences were found such as more complex neural connections

39
Q

Small and Vorgan, 2008

A

To discover if technology use has an effect on brain structure and activity by an fMRI to compare between frequent and new users - in the beginning frequent users had more brain activity but by the 5th day it was equal

40
Q

Shih

A

2001

41
Q

Davidson, 2004

A

To investigate whether meditation changes brain activity by measuring the gamma waves of frequent and new meditators, monitored by an EEG - frequent meditators had more gamma wave activity and better organization

42
Q

Matsuzawa, 2007

A

To study spatial memory in chimps and humans by showing numbers to both and asking them to identify where the number was - chimps did well, humans made many errors

43
Q

Wahlstein

A

1997

44
Q

Fessler, 2006

A

To study why pregnant women get nausea by showing disgusting pictures and asking them to rate their level of disgust - disgusting scenes involving food ranked highest to protect them while they are pregnant because their immune system is suppressed

45
Q

Bouchard, 1990

A

Compared IQ scores between identical twins raised together and apart - MZ twins raised together scored 86%, same person tested twice scores 87%. 70% of IQ is genetic

46
Q

Wahlstein, 1997

A

Studied the IQ of children that went from low income homes to higher incomes homes - IQ went up 12-16 points: enriched environment may increase IQ in children
