Name:__________________________ Psych 260 Quiz 1Th (With the exception of the last question, each question is worth 1 pt. Write your answers for the last question directly on the quiz, and hand it in along with your scantron. Be sure to put your name on your quiz!) 1. In most people, the right hemisphere of the brain a. controls the right side of the body. b. controls speech. c. is involved in language comprehension. d. receives tactile information from the right side of the body. e. receives olfactory information from the right nostril. 2. Sometimes severe epileptic seizures can be controlled by a. Administration of drugs such as cocaine or amphetamine b. Removal of the cerebral cortex c. Electrical stimulation of subcortical brain structures d. Severing the corpus callosum e. Drugs that block the action of acetylcholine in the brain 3. In the TED movie of Jill BolteTaylor that we watched in class, she described having difficulty understanding or producing language. This is not surprising, given that her stroke was localized in the a. Occipital lobe b. Frontal cortex c. Right temporal lobe d. Left parietal lobe e. Left temporal lobe 4. The monismdualism debate centers around the question of whether a. The mind and the brain are separate entities or the mind arises from the brain’s activity b. Whether specific neurons and brain areas have separate functions or they are largely undifferentiated c. Whether reduction or generalization is the better scientific approach d. Whether mononucleosis is due to the irresponsibility of only one, or of two or more people. e. None of the above 5. The significance of Galvani’s experiment involving stimulation of an isolated frog muscle is that it proved that a. Fluid flow along nerves causes muscles to contract b. The muscles are activated by electrical nerve signals c. Reflexes can be explained using a hydraulic model d. A reflex is a process controlled by the mind e. The mind controls the movements of the body. 6. Which of the following might be expected of a person who has undergone the “split brain” procedure? a. Poor motor balance b.
