  1. PSYC-465 practice test Unit 3: Research Methods and Vision WARNING: questions may have more than one correct answer (answer key is on the last slide)

  2. Ch 6 1. Humans can see electromagnetic waves of energy that have a length of_________. • 40-90 nanometers • 380-760 nanometers • 1,000-4,000 nanometers • 260-380 nanometers

  3. Ch 6 2. The psychological correlates of wavelength and intensity are________, respectively. • color and brightness • brightness and hue • shape and color • brightness and shape

  4. Ch 6 3. The adjustment of pupil size in response to changes in illumination represents a compromise between________. • size and position • accommodation and disparity • sensitivity and acuity • color and shape

  5. Ch 6 4. When rhodopsin is moved from the dark to intense light,_________. • it absorbs light in the same range of wavelengths as the scotopic spectral sensitivity curve • it becomes bleached • it becomes an intense red color • it gains light-absorbing properties

  6. Ch 6 5. The photopic visual system is characterized by_______. • a high degree of convergence onto biopolar cells • maximal sensitivity to light in the range of 560 nm • high visual acuity • high sensitivity

  7. Ch 6 6. Off-center cells include __________. • rods and cones • retinal ganglion cells • simple cortical cells • complex cortical cells

  8. Ch 6 7. Hubel and Wiesel found that several neurons encountered along a(n) _______ electrode tract in the primary visual cortex had receptive fields in the same general area of the visual field and preferred straight line stimuli in the same orientation. • oblique • straight • vertical • horizontal

  9. Ch 6 8. The ventral visual stream has been referred to as the _______ pathway, which flows from the primary visual cortex to the ventral prestriate cortex and finally to the ________ cortex. • what ; inferotemporal • where ; posterior parietal • what ; posterior parietal • where ; inferotemporal

  10. Ch 6 9. Because of the phenomenon of color constancy, the color of an object_______. • varies with changes in illumination • does not vary with changes in illumination • will vary depending on whether the photopic or the scotopic visual system is active • does not vary regardless of whether the photopic or the scotopic visual system is active

  11. Ch 6 10. The retinal ganglion cells _______. • are responsible for scotopic vision only • are responsible for lateral communication across the retina • transduce light energy in the range of 560 nm • are the most superficial layer of cells in the retina

  12. Ch 6 11. The retina-geniculate-striate system________. • contains neurons that are generally monocular • is retinotopically organized • contains simple cells at all levels • conveys information from each eye to primary visual cortex in both hemispheres

  13. Ch 6 12. cones are to rods as________. • color vision is to viewing shades of gray • photopic vision is to scotopic vision • high sensitivity is to high acuity • high convergence is to low convergence

  14. Ch 6 13. The M pathway for visual information is ________. • responsible for conveying information about moving objects • comprised of magnocellular neurons in the LGN and the retinal ganglion cells that project to them • largely responsible for conveying information from rod photoreceptors • found in the upper four layers of the LGN

  15. Ch 7 14. Prosopagnosia is ______. • an inability to recognize faces • may be a general inability to recognize individual members of a complex class of visual stimuli • Due to damage to striate cortex • Due to damage to the posterior parietal cortex

  16. Ch 5 15. Which of the following is a contrast X-ray technique that is used for studying the brain? • angiography • MRI • pneumoencephalography • PET

  17. Ch 5 16. Which of the following is a neuropsychological tests are used to measure frontal lobe function in humans? • WAIS • Wisconsin card sorting task • Probabilistic classification • Win-stay task

  18. Ch 5 17. In many stereotaxic atlases of the rat brain, one common reference point is________. • cregma • alambda • bregma • the tip of the nose

  19. Ch 5 18. Which of the following can be determined by extracellular unit recording? • the amplitude of EPSPs and IPSPs • the amplitude of APs • temporal summation • the rate of firing of a neuron

  20. Ch 5 19. The size and shape of a radio-frequency lesion is determined by _______. • The duration and intensity of current • The size of the subject • The configuration of the electrode • The location of the electrode

  21. Ch 5 20. Which of the following can be used to destroy neuronal cell bodies in a target brain area without destroying axons that are merely passing through the target area? • Ibotenic acid and kainic acid • lidocaine and cryongenic blockade • neurotoxin and electrolytic lesions • aspiration and a knife cut

  22. Ch 5 21. Invasive techniques used to study brain-behavior relations include________. • TMS • extracellular and single unit recording • In vivo microdialysis • Functional MRI

  24. Ch 5 23. The __________ is used to measure blood pressure. • EKG • sphygmomanometer • plethysmography • SCR

  25. Ch 5 24. The paired-image subtraction technique involves ________. • obtaining CAT images from several different subjects • subtracting PET or MRI images generated during one task from images generated during another • examining differences between far-field potentials • combining differences in electrical activity recorded between the front and back of the eye

  26. Lecture 25. The triple dissociation lesion study described in class _____________. • compares performance on three tasks that are identical except for the type of associative learning required • is better than behavioral phenotyping in controlling extraneous variables • involved the amygdala, striatum and hypothalamus • was conducted with monkeys
