PSY 263 - Exam 2 (ISU) Questions and
All Correct Answers.
ethics - Answer the principles of right and wrong that guide an individual in making decisions
correlational research - Answer research that seeks to identify whether an association or
relationship between two factors exists
institutional review boards (IRB) - Answer institution of local bodies that reviews any kind of
research that involves human participants before it happens
prevent harm and psychological stress
American Psychological Association - Answer review board
American Psychiatric Association - Answer research use, code of ethics, ethics of animal
research
American Medical Association - Answer code of ethics
Some Key Issues - Answer genetic (and other testing)
huntington's disease
human embryonic stem cell
genetic (and other testing) - Answer the idea of should your insurance company be able to
know results, should this be able to affect your billing? etc.
Huntington's disease - Answer A human genetic disease caused by a dominant allele;
characterized by uncontrollable body movements and degeneration of the nervous system;
usually fatal 10 to 20 years after the onset of symptoms.
,getting a form of the gene means you get the disorder
everyone has the gene, but have to have a certain form to get the disease
human embryonic stem cell - Answer stem cells are cells that have capability to differentiate
into different adult cells
stem cells from embryos are capable of becoming different kinds of cells
can you treat disorders by adding embryonic stem cells (some other countries have looked at
this)
speciesism - Answer the assumption of human superiority leading to the exploitation of
animals.
humans are more important than animals
arguments to justify animal research - Answer understanding animal nervous systems and
behavior are interesting for their own sake
as less complex organisms with less complex patterns of behavior, animals are good models of
humans
certain experiences cannot be ethically performed on humans
most understanding of human diseases and disorders and most drug treatment for them result
from research using animals
arguments against animal research - Answer do not know if animals have consciousness
similar to humans
unsure of how animals feel pain
, assumes a hierarchy of values among animals (including humans) (babies versus silent animal)
practical use of animals - Answer national institutes of health guide for the care and use of
laboratory animals (and other NIH publications)
society of neuroscience (and other professional organizations)
american veterinary medical association (amva) - vets have their own set of guidelines
institutional animal care and use committee (iacuc) - guidelines for animals with backbones,
people review proposed experiments
American association for accreditation of laboratory animal care (aaalac)
U.S. department of agriculture (usda) - have policies of animal research
publish health services of U.S. department of health and human services (usphs)
methods for human research (correlational) - Answer post mortem exam
brocas aphasia
parkinson's disease
post mortem exam - Answer examination of brain from people with altered or atypical
behavior (correlational neuroanatomy)
relating what is found in the brain to the person's behavior before they died.
broca's aphasia - Answer damage to the frontal motor cortex
telegraphic speech like "dog hid table ate bone" seemed to be caused by damage to left frontal
lobe of the motor cortex
