Q

How was donder’s experiment done? (explain in detail)

A

By measuring “Simple reaction time” and “Choice reaction time”

Simple reaction time – asking participants to push a button as rapidly as possible when that saw a light goon (no need to think)

Choice reaction time - using 2 lights and asking participants to push the left button when they saw the left lighT, the push right when they saw the right light go on

This is to determine how much time it takes for a person to DECIDE WHICH TO PUSH (WHICH KEY TO PUSH) during Choice reaction time

Q

(a) This value, which stays the same as long as there are no signals in the neuron, is called the ________. In other words, the inside of the neuron has a charge that is 70 mV more negative
than the outside, and this difference continues as long as the neuron is at rest.

A

resting potential

119
Q

Shows what happens when the neuron’s receptor is stimulated so that a _________ is transmitted down the axon. As the impulse passes the recording electrode, the charge inside the axon rises to_________ compared to the outside

A

nerve impulse
+ 40 millivolts,

120
Q

As the impulse continues past the electrode, the charge inside the fiber reverses course and starts becoming negative again, until it returns to the resting potential. This impulse, which is called the ______, lasts about ________

A

– action potential
– 1 millisecond (1/1000 of a
second).

121
Q

(a) Early work on neural representation and cognition focused on recording from single neurons in the visual cortex, where
“signals first arrive at the cortex”.
(b) Researchers then began to explore other places in the brain and found that “visual stimulation” causes activity that is distributed across many areas of the cortex.
(c) Recent work has focused on looking at how these distributed areas are connected by neural networks and how activity flows in these networks. Note that, except for the visual area in (a), the locations of the areas in this figure do not represent the locations of actual areas. They are for illustrative purposes only.

137
Q

— When we perceive different objects, we do so in a specific order that moves from LOWER TO HIGHER areas of the brain

from lower (simple) to higher levels of complexity.
