Week1

Question 1

Missing part for old CogPsy

Answer 1

Emotion

Question 2

Chomsky

Answer 2

Language acquisition. An immigrant child learns the language faster than his parents( against behaviorism

Question 3

Tolman

Answer 3

Rats, mazes and turning left at north. Cognitive maps

Question 4

Frontal Lobe

Answer 4

Thinking, planning, decision making

Question 5

Occipital Lobe

Answer 5

Visual Perception
causally
involved in imagery!

Question 6

Temporal Lobe

Answer 6

Complex perception, memory, language

Question 7

Parietal Lobe

Answer 7

Controlling Action

Question 8

Electrocorticography( ECoG)

Answer 8

Intracranial recordings. Electrode implantation.
High spatial, temporal resolution.
invasive
Only done to people who’s brain are working differently.

Question 9

Single Cell Electrode Recordings

Answer 9

High spatial , temporal resolution
Highly invasive, can not be done to humans if it is not for clinical help to the individual

Question 10

Electroencephalography ( EEG)

Answer 10

Less invasive
Electrodes on the scalp
Can be used for epilepsy
Wİdely used
Lİmited spatial resolution , high temporal resolution(miliseconds)
Event related potential(ERP)
Cheaper than fmri
Sums the brain activity

Question 11

Functional Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (fMRI)

Answer 11

Functional brain imaging
popular for cognition
substraction method
less invasive than EEG
high spatial resolution ( less than single-neuron recoding)
indirect

Question 12

reverse inference

Answer 12

limitation of brain imagining techniques. a causes b does not mean that if b then a .

Question 13

correlation and causation problem

Answer 13

To demonstrate necessity, you need
to show that blocking face area activity will disrupt face perception.

Question 14

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Answer 14

temporarily disrupt brain activity using focal
magnetic pulses targeted over different areas of the scalp
coil, Faraday`s principles.
temporal precise
highly causal relationships
clinical benefits (such as deep brain stimulation)
can not effect deep structures. not spatially good

Question 15

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Answer 15

increase or decrease of likelihood of firing a neuron

Question 16

computational level of analysis

Answer 16

what
the mind is trying to compute and why
what information the mind is trying to process, and for what purpose

Question 17

algorithmic level of analysis

Answer 17

aims to understand the rules,
mechanisms, and representations the mind uses
eye movements to see how our familiarity with different
words

Question 18

implementational level of analysis

Answer 18

seeks to understand the
“hardware”—that is, the brain—that physically enables the processes
of human cognition.
physiological and physical structures– what areas of the brain

Question 19

Substraction

Answer 19

Donders
stages( perception, decision , response prep.)
causal relationships
objective
widely applicable (PET ,fMRI)
Disadvantage: assumes stages are independent .

Question 20

Time-Line Cognitive Psychology

Answer 20

wundt
william james( functionalism)
gestalt
watson- classical conditioning
skinner operant conditioning
Tolman(rats)
Chomsky
Information Processing

Question 21

Simon Task

Answer 21

compatible- incompatible

Question 22

Neural code

Answer 22

*Physical features: orientation, shape, size, wavelength (color)
* Space: Where things are
* Time
* Semantics: What things mean
* Actions
