WEEK 1: Modern Research Flashcards
IDENTIFICATION:
Represent structures in the brain that are involved in specific functions.
Structural Model
IDENTIFICATION:
What is an example of a process model?
Broadbent’s Filter Model of Attention
TRUE OR FALSE:
Represents the processes that are involved in cognitive mechanisms, with boxes usually representing specific processes and arrows indicating connections between processes.
TRUE
1.
TRUE OR FALSE:
Modern research in Cognitive Psychology shows how Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience tries to understand the operation of the mind by identifying and analyzing different processes or stages of information and how they relate to each other.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
3D models have been used to illustrate the locations of different structures of the brain
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
The purpose of the Structural Model is to make complicated processes easier to understand.
FALSE; its purpose is to simplify
IDENTIFICATION:
Illustrate how a process operates
Process Model
IDENTIFICATION:
isolate the different elementary operations and preparing a motoric output so they subsequently can be linked to specific brain areas.
The Subtraction Method
TRUE OR FALSE:
Retrieving information from memory decreases the chance that the same information will be retrieved again soon.
FALSE; it increases the chance
TRUE OR FALSE:
Fast learning results in fast forgetting and that retrieval practice is very beneficial in the long run
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Study shows that taking notes by hand led to inferior performance in tests of both factual and particularly conceptual understanding
FALSE; it led to superior performance
TRUE OR FALSE:
Laptop note produce more notes and more notes means more information to review.
TRUE
ENUMERATION:
What are the two things that are necessary for efficient learning?
- Elaboration
- Active Involvement with the materials
IDENTIFICATION:
It is a study by Peterson, Fox, Posner, Mintun & Raichle, 1988 using PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography) to examine brain areas become active while participants are involved in a semantic (meaning) association task.
Subtraction Method
TRUE OR FALSE:
The subtraction method revealed two active brain areas. One located at the left frontal side and was presumably associated with semantic association processing. And the other is at the back of the head engaged in the selection of action.
TRUE
