Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity? A) Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation B) The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain. C) Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life. D) All of the above

Waugh and Norman argued that the Brown Peterson task was flawed and created a new experiment. Which of the following conclusions was supported by the results of their experiment? 1. Duration of short-term memory is about 16 seconds. 2. Capacity of short-term memory is about 16 items. 3. Forgetting from short-term memory is due to decay, not interference. 4.

The concept of “labeled lines” states that each nerve input to the brain reports only a particular type of information, such as auditory versus visual information. Does this happen because the nature of the nerve fibers conveying the information is unique or because the nature of the brain location where the signals are received is unique? How do you know this?
Which one is TRUE about feature integration theory? There are three stages, each of which involve combined features. Conscious perception arises in the second stage. Objects are always represented as whole rather than as parts. The stages of feature integration theory are: preattentive, directed attentive, postattentive.

What is the "coincidence" in the Jeffress neural coincidence model? Two sound sources have the same frequency and amplitude at the same time. Signals arrive at two different neurons at the same time. Signals arrive from the two ears at the same time. Two sound sources are in the same location in the sound environ

Which of the following statements about sensory systems is NOT true? a. Sensory transduction involves the conversion (by either a direct or indirect mechanism) of a physical or chemical stimulus into changes in membrane potential difference. b. Sensory adaptation plays a role in the ability of organisms to discriminate between important and unimportant information. c. The term "sensory adaptation" refers to the process by which a sensory cell becomes less sensitive, or less responsive, to a continuing source of stimulation. d. In general, a stimulus causes a change in the flow of charged ions across the plasma membrane of a sensory receptor cell. e. The more intense a stimulus is, the greater the peak depolarization of the action potentials fired by the sensory neuron.
