Lesson 7 & 8 Practice Quiz
1. Evidence for the theory that sleep helps us to
consolidate memories comes from research
indicating that
a. Cells in the hippocampus are activated
during learning and again during sleep
b. Cells in the suprachiasmatic nucleus are
active during learning and again during
sleep
c. Students perform better on tests after a
good night’s sleep
d. Damage to the hypothalamus results in
both sleep and memory problems
2. According to the feature-integration theory of
attention, which of the following is NOT true?
a. Whereas binding of complex stimulus
features requires attention, binding of
simple stimulus features (such as
colour, shape, or orientation) does not
b. Attention is required to bind different
features together in an object
c. Searches for targets defined by more than
one feature (e.g. colour and shape) are
slow and require attention
d. Searches for targets defined by a single
feature (such as colour, shape, or
orientation) can be performed quickly and
preattentively
3. Which of the following most convincingly
demonstrate continency?
a. The room door slams; the patients turns
their head. The door in the closed quietly
and the patients does not respond
b. A light is turned on; the brain-damaged
patient blinks
c. Whenever a family member walks into
the room, the brain-damage patients
moves their left foot, and they don’t
move it very much as other times
d. A family member walks into the room; the
brain-damaged patient turns their head
4. In signal detection theory, the ______
phenomenon may explain ______.
a. Satisfaction of search why radiologists
may miss a subtle ‘target’ on an x-ray
after finding a first one
b. Response bias; screening personnel may
miss a dangerous item in luggage after
searching hundreds of bags
c. Response bias; why radiologists may miss
a subtle ‘target’ on an x-ay after finding a
first one
d. Satisfaction of search; why radiologists
tend to over report ‘targets’ such as
cancerous cells on X-rays
5. After you fall asleep, how do your EEG wave
patterns change as you go from being alert, to
being relaxed, to being asleep?
a. Beta waves alpha waves delta waves
b. Alpha waves delta waves beta waves
c. Alpha waves beta waves delta waves
d. Theta waves delta waves beta waves
6. Which of the following is NOT a reason why we
sleep?
a. Allows the brain to consolidate memories
through reactivation
b. Allows us to conserve energy when we are
not engaged in survival-relevant behaviour
c. Allows the body to build muscle
spindles
d. Allows us to avoid harm during the hours
of darkness
7. Which of the following is NOT true about
sleep?
a. As you transition through the stages of
sleep from stage 4 to stage 2, your neural
activity oscillates at faster and faster
frequencies
b. REM sleep happens once per night
c. Stages 3 and 4 are the deepest stages of
sleep, when regular, slow waves are
evident on EEG
d. During stage 4 sleep, your skeletal
muscles are almost completely inactive
8. Which of the following is TRUE about visual
search tasks?
a. Search is parallel for conjunctions of
features, but serial for single features
b. Search is serial for conjunctions of
features, but parallel for single features
c. Search is always conducted in serial
d. Search is always conducted in parallel
9. Distinguishing a severely brain damaged
individual as being in a vegetative state,
compared to a minimally conscious state, or a
locked-in state is:

Increases: becomes zero (i. e. rem eventually drops out of the sleep cycle, suppose that you have just finished working out and decide to take a shower. You are also expecting an important phone call and so decide that you will listen extra carefully for the ringing of the phone. Two or three times you pop you head out of the shower thinking that you hear the phone (but it really didn"t ring). Your experience of listening for the phone as to do with: your response bias, your absolute threshold c. They"d like to increase their market share by giving consumers more product, in a bigger bottle, for the same price they charge now, but without being wastefully extravagant with their "giveaway". What is the first thing to do/try: don"t" change anything just put a new. But we ignore the gaps in the contour of the musician"s body and perceive it as a complete form anyway.
