Examine neural activity using a task design that separates external cue, internal goals, and movement b. Apply TMS to different frontal areas at different time points of a task requiring performance of self-guided and sensory-guided movements c. Separate animals into different groups and lesion different areas and test their ability to control behavior d. Both B & C

Which brain region involved in action control is incorrectly paired with its function? a. Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) - Plans and coordinates internal thoughts and external actions b.

Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) - Responds to observed and self-enacted action
How do brainstem upper motor neurons regulate movement? a. This system utilizes a central pattern generator to regulate repetitive and rhythmic movements. b. This system is activated when you need to modify your movement depending on environmental conditions, such as adjusting to the weight and speed of an object. c. This system permits rapid motor reactions to unexpected changes in the environment. d. This system is activated when you perform a skilled movement, such as completing an expert golf swing or performing a gymnastics routine. e. This system permits movement initiation from a stationary position, such as standing up from a sitting position
What do studies of patients with posterior parietal damage tell us about its role in action control? a. Action control is mostly acquired through imitation and awareness b.

1. Santiago is a biopsychologist who is planning a study on the biopsychology of reading. For which of these studies should he use fMRI? If he wanted to see if reading speed would be affected by damage to the prefrontal cortex If he wanted to see what parts of the prefrontal cortex are associated with reading speed If he wanted to see if reading speed is linked to the size of the prefrontal cortex If he wanted to see if reading speed is associated with better reaction time to negative stimuli 2. Check all that apply) Which of the following are true statements about the somatosensory and motor cortices?
