1
Which of the following best describes memory recall?
The ability to relearn information that was previously learned
The ability to retrieve and reproduce information exactly as it was learned
The ability to identify information that was previously learned
CONCEPT
Measuring Memory and Remembering
2
Mickey is a teenager who has experienced brief periods of time during his classes when he “blacks out.” Afterwards, he does not remember
anything from those periods. His parents worry that he might be having seizures, so they take him to a neurologist for an examination and tests.
Which of the following technologies might the neurologist use to examine the electrical activity in Mickey’s brain?
Electrode
Electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB)
Electroencephalograph (EEG)
CONCEPT
Examining Brain Function
3
Which of the following causes a neuron to create an electrical charge along its cellular membrane?
Neurotransmitters
, Ions inside and outside of the neuron
Synaptic connections to other neurons
Energy from the cell's mitochondria
CONCEPT
Neurons: Communication
4
is the part of the brain associated with hearing and processing auditory information.
The frontal lobe
The parietal lobe
The temporal lobe
The occipital lobe
CONCEPT
Cerebral Cortex: Parietal Lobes, Temporal Lobes and Occipital lobes
5
Neurotransmitters connect to lock-and-key areas on other neurons called .
axons
receptor sites
myelin
terminals
CONCEPT
Neurotransmitters and Synapses
6
Implicit memories are long-term memories of skills or actions that are unintentional; a person does not need to consciously recall how to perform
these actions.
Which of the following types of memory can be categorized as implicit memory?
Declarative memory
