True False QUESTION 8 The history of psychology reveals a series of fads that dominate the attention of the researchers & the public. True False QUESTION 9 Departments of neuroscience, as well as degrees in neuroscience, independent of psychology departments, are becoming common at many universities. True False QUESTION 10 According to the authors of Brainwashed, one of the reasons that people are so drawn to fMRI research is because of its visual nature. True False QUESTION 11 According to he authors of Brainwashed, the media has a good understanding of what brain images mean. True False QUESTION 12 In 2008, neuroscientists from UCLA successfully predicted that the presidential candidates would be Barack Obama & John McCain. True False QUESTION 13 Science journalists often overstate the reality of scientific research findings. True False QUESTION 14 University press offices often overstate research findings to gain publicity for their institutions. True False QUESTION 15 The news headline, “Love found in the brain” is a scientifically responsible statement. True False QUESTION 16 The more active a brain area is when presented with a stimuli, the more powerful that stimulus is.

True False QUESTION 21 There are universal, single, areas of the brain in which tasks are processed identically is all humans. True False QUESTION 22 Dead salmon have shown activated fMRI brain activity. True False QUESTION 23 Computer imaging (fMRI, MRI) is a: research method research technology research experiment research theory QUESTION 24 The amygdala is known to be active in: fear sexual arousal happiness all of the above QUESTION 25 Most colorful brain image scans that we see in the media are: a statistical composite of many brains one person’s brain “snapshot” images of a brain completely useless QUESTION 26 The visual cortex in blind people can be active when perceiving touch, such as in the use of braille. True False QUESTION 27 The authors of Brainwashed argue that whenever one sees a headline, “Brain Scans Show…” they should entertain some health skepticism. True False QUESTION 28 Neurorealism refers to: the science fiction prediction of a virtual reality. neural reducitonism. the fact the neurons make reality real. the tendency to regard brain imaging as more “real” than other measure of research. QUESTION 29 According to the authors of Brainwashed, much of the neuroscience research is overstated neurohype that should be taken with caution. True False QUESTION 30 In Kline’s chapter, Electrons or human beings? He calls the computer model of the brian as CPU: von Neuman thinking AI IP Information Processing Model QUESTION 31 Step by step decision processing of computers is called: parallel processing serial processing multivariate processing information processing QUESTION 32 According to Waltz & Pollack (in Electrons or human beings?), serial processing adequately represents human mental processing. True False QUESTION 33 Ambiguity of meaning in interpretation of a sentence is easily handled through serial processing models. True False QUESTION 34 Humans are believed to think in a way called parallel processing. True False QUESTION 35 According to Kline, much of cognitive science looks more like electronics than psychology. True False QUESTION 36 According to Kline, what is important to psychologists is what is being seen, not how it is being seen (mind versus physiology). True False QUESTION 37 According to Dr. Giobbi’s lecture, neuroscience is interdisciplinary. True False QUESTION 38 Neuroscience researchers often discuss perspectives of their topic from outside of science. This includes: economics literature art all of the above QUESTION 39 Neuroscience (unlike psychology) is not plagued by: A history of infighting on what the discipline is & how it should be done. A rigid, singular point of view. A preoccupation with being viewed as one of the sciences. all of these QUESTION 40 It is not uncommon to find art & philosophy discussed in neuroscience texts.
