5.
Substance P is the neurotransmitter
SENSATION AND PERCEPTION
1. The human's sensory receptors are more alert
to repetition. When stimuli are repeated, an
individual perceives them readily, This is
adaptation. (FALSE)
2. SJK could not see anything in his periphery,
you are suspecting that he could not detect
stimulus coming from both his temporal visual
field. Where is the abnormality? (OPTIC
CHIASM)
3. Identify a part of the primary sensory cortex.
Point to a specific gyrus.
4. This refers to the mental predisposition to
perceive one thing over the other
SLEEP
(PERCEPTUAL SET)
5. Identify the primary motor cortex. Be very
specific identify the gyrus/gyri.
6. This is what happens in the process of
transduction, when a stimulus is converted
into neural impulses (TRANSFORM)
7. When stimuli are detectable less than 50
percent of the time (SUBLIMINAL
THRESHOLD)
8. HB asked you why you called his name. You DID
NOT call him. This is a case of
________________ transduction
(FALSE ALARM)
SENSING & PERCEIVING AND CONSCIOUSNESS
1. Ambient light in the morning activates the
light-sensitive retinal proteins. (TRUE)
2. Proprioception is the ability to sense the
position and movement of our body sports.
(TRUE)
3. Unconscious parallel processing is faster than
conscious sequential processing (TRUE)
4. The neospinothalamic tract conducts fast pain
via the type C pain fibers (FALSE; type A)
responsible for decreasing pain sensations
(FALSE; intense pain; Endorphins for
decreasing)
6. The phantom hand sensation would be
strongest when something touches the
amputee's face (TRUE)
7. The body is more aroused during REM sleep
than during Stage 1 sleep (TRUE)
8. Perception is also influenced by socio-cultural
factors as well as emotional states and
motivation (TRUE)
9. The best participants for hypnosis are people
who are willing to be hypnotized (TRUE)
10. Prolonged lack of sleep results in diminished
anxiety and increased performance (FALSE;
increased anxiety and decreased performance)
● NREM STAGE 1
○ slowed breathing and the irregular
brain waves
○ experience fantastic images resembling
hallucinations
○ hypnagogic sensations may later be
incorporated into your memories
● NREM STAGE 2
○ sleep spindles—bursts of rapid,
rhythmic brain-wave activity
● NREM STAGE 3
○ emits large, slow delta waves and you
are hard to awaken
○ children may wet the bed
● REM STAGE
○ sometimes called paradoxical sleep:
The body is internally aroused, with
waking-like brain activity, yet asleep
and externally calm.
○ brain waves become rapid and
saw-toothed, more like those of the
nearly awake NREM-1 sleep
○ eye movements announce the
beginning of a dream—often
emotional, usually story-like, and
richly hallucinatory
○ genitals become aroused
○ disturbing experience of sleep paralysis
○ brain’s motor cortex is active during
REM sleep, but your brainstem blocks
its messages. This leaves your muscles
relaxed, so much so that, except for an
occasional finger, toe, or facial twitch,
you are essentially paralyzed
MEMORY

1. Emotions enhance memory storage by

increasing the release of testosterone. (FALSE;
estrogen)

2. Studying all at once is okay if you need to

remember it immediately and never again.
(TRUE)

3. "Tell me what you did today" is a test of recall.

(TRUE)

4. Procedural memory is forgotten quickly.

(FALSE; not)

5. The hallmark of good working memory is the

ability to shift attention as needed among
different tasks. (TRUE)

6. Short-term memories fade over time if not

rehearsed. (TRUE)

7. Being asked to choose the correct item from

among several items is recall. (FALSE;
recognition)

8. Remembering who is the mayor of your city is

an example of episodic memory. (FALSE;
semantic)

9. Episodic memories are more fragile than

semantic memories. (TRUE)

10. A young child's answer to an open-ended

question is usually short but accurate. (TRUE)
