Answers
What neural activity distinguishes each stage? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-brain
| | | | | | | | |
waves are distinguished at each stage
| | | | |
What are the hard questions that the science of Consciousness needs to answer?
| | | | | | | | | | | |
- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-why: first person data - subjective experience
| | | | | | | | |
What are the easy questions that the science of Consciousness needs to answer?
| | | | | | | | | | | |
- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-how: third person data - behavioral and brain processes
| | | | | | | | | | |
How can these Consciousness questions be studied? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |
when having a conscious experience what are the neural activities in the brain
| | | | | | | | | | | |
What is blindsight? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the ability to detect and identify
| | | | | | | | | | |
visual stimuli by
| |
forced-choice guessing, or to demonstrate appropriate
| | | | |
action to visual stimuli, when the visual stimuli are
| | | | | | | |
presented in blind portions of the visual field and are
| | | | | | | | |
not consciously perceived
| |
,Which area of the brain seems to be able to operate without conscious
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
awareness? What is the evidence for this claim? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-vision is
| | | | | | | | | | |
able to operate without conscious awareness -
| | | | | | |
evidence is the rhesus monkey Helen and blind man avoiding obstacles
| | | | | | | | | |
What is binocular rivalry? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-you alternate the picture you
| | | | | | | | | | |
see ~ alternating views over time
| | | | |
How can the researcher use binocular rivalry to study consciousness? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-they can see what they eyes are seeing together consciously | | | | | | | | |
What is the split-brain effect? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-severing the corpus
| | | | | | | | | |
callosum that links the two hemispheres. the corpus colossus spate the two
| | | | | | | | | | | |
hemispheres. Left hemisphere is good for verbal processing. While the right
| | | | | | | | | | |
hemisphere can draw what they saw but not write it
| | | | | | | | |
Where in the brain is the Broca's area located? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-left
| | | | | | | | | | | |
hemisphere
A object seen in the left visual field will be processed on which side of the brain?
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
- CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-right side
| | | |
Where in the brain is the Wernicke's area located? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-left
| | | | | | | | | | | |
hemisphere
How about something seen in the right visual field? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-left
| | | | | | | | | | | |
side
, What is the corpus callosum? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-millions of axons connect
| | | | | | | | | | |
the two hemispheres - integrates motor, sensory, and cognitive performances
| | | | | | | | |
What does this tell us about language when the corpus callosum is severed? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-"face is shown on right side" - because the left
| | | | | | | | | | |
hemisphere is dominant for verbal processing, the patients answer matches the
| | | | | | | | | | |
word
"face is shown on left side" - the right hemisphere can not share info with the left
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
therefore patient can not say the word but can draw it
| | | | | | | | | | |
What is involved in self-recognition? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-capacity to know
| | | | | | | | | |
where we are in space and being aware of who we are
| | | | | | | | | | |
What is the mirror test? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-was to test if humans and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
animals could see each other in the mirror - great apes and humans passed
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
however monkeys failed | |
How can researchers measure the consciousness of an individual in a coma? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-put coma patient in MRI scanner, make sure they can
| | | | | | | | | | |
hear, have them imagine walking around a room/playing tennis
| | | | | | | |
What does research on consciousness tell us about free will? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-brain knows about 1/2 a second before arm will move and 6 | | | | | | | | | | | |
seconds before pushing a button ~ unconscious neural signal before action/choice
| | | | | | | | | |
