The processing of the same information at the same time by several neuronal pools is called
A) serial processing.
B) parallel processing.
C) divergent processing.
D) convergent processing.
E) facilitation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parallel processing involves multiple neuronal pools processing the same information simultaneously, allowing for faster processing and integration of information. Serial processing, on the other hand, involves information being processed in a linear fashion through a single pathway. Divergent processing involves one neuronal pool sending information to multiple other pools, while convergent processing involves multiple pools sending information to a single pool. Facilitation refers to the process by which the strength or efficiency of a synaptic connection is increased.
