A)neural activity;cognition
B)neural circuit activity;individual neural activity
C)neural activity;simple behavioral responses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cognitive neuroscientist measures neural activity to understand the neural basis of cognition, while a psychophysicist assesses simple behavioral responses to understand the relationship between physical stimuli and psychological experience. Therefore, choice C, neural activity for cognitive neuroscientists and simple behavioral responses for psychophysicists, is the best answer. Choice A is incorrect because both cognitive neuroscientists and psychophysicists measure neural activity in some capacity. Choice B is incorrect because psychophysicists do not typically focus on individual neural activity, but rather the overall relationship between stimuli and behavior.
