Question 1
Research has demonstrated that humans:
begin showing habituation to sounds at about 2 months of age.
show evidence of working memory abilities before they are born.
do not demonstrate operant conditioning until they are about 1 year old.
can demonstrate learning of basic sounds and language before they are born.
Question 2
Down syndrome is:
much more likely in children born to younger fathers.
much less likely in children born to older mothers.
much more likely in children born to older mothers.
usually due to a genetic accident occurring in the father.
Question 3
A tiny protrusion on a dendrite where a synapse may form is known as a:
myelin sheath.
neurotransmitter.
neuron.
spine.
Question 4
Individuals with Down syndrome:
have a larger-than-normal hippocampus at 3 months of age.
show normal episodic memory as children.
, have a smaller-than-normal cerebellum in adolescence.
have visibly smaller brains at birth.
Question 5
Mutations on which genes seem to be associated with early-onset Alzheimer's?
APP, PS1, and PS2
APP, PS2, and APOE
CLU, PICALM, and APOE
CLU, PICALM, and CR1
Question 6
In a paired-associate learning test, elderly adults:
outperform college students under most conditions.
experience more problems during retrieval than during encoding.
are better than college students in a directed forgetting test.
perform well if items are presented at a slower pace during study.
Question 7
The technique of elicited imitation is used for assessing memories in infants because infants:
cannot perceive sounds well enough to learn them.
cannot use language to respond in standard recall and recognition tests.
do not respond to classical-conditioning situations.
learn more rapidly than older children do.
Question 8
