Accepted Answer

Lithium is commonly used as a mood stabilizer and has been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of mania in individuals with bipolar disorder.

Question 4

(Video: Models of memory) The component of working memory that is involved with words and the sounds of words is the

Accepted Answer

The phonological loop is responsible for the processing and temporary storage of verbal information, including words and the sounds of words. The other options, central executive, visuospatial sketchpad, and general mental workspace are involved with other types of information processing, such as attention, visual-spatial tasks, and integration of information from multiple sources in working memory, respectively.

Question 5

(Video: Milgram's obedience studies) Most people are likely to be surprised by the results of Milgram's obedience study because

Accepted Answer

Milgram's study revealed that a significant number of participants (teachers) were willing to administer potentially harmful shocks to the learner when instructed by an authority figure, which was more obedience than most people would expect.

Question 6

(Video: Multiple Personality Disorder) Each of Tony's personalities produced a different evoked potential. This most clearly indicates that each personality is associated with a uniquely different

Accepted Answer

Evoked potentials are electrical signals in the brain that are measured in response to stimuli. The fact that each of Tony's personalities produced a different evoked potential suggests that each personality is associated with a different brain state, indicating Choice C is correct. A and D are unlikely because personalities are not typically associated with specific compulsions or delusions. B could be a possibility, but the question doesn't provide enough information to confirm that each personality is associated with a different traumatic event.

Question 7

(Video: Mentally ill chemical abusers: A community problem) Larry cannot be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital unless he

Accepted Answer

Larry cannot be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital unless he is in immediate danger, which means there is a high risk of harm to himself or others. This is because involuntary commitment violates a person's civil liberties and can only be done if absolutely necessary for their safety or the safety of others. Option B is incorrect because a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia alone does not warrant involuntary commitment. Option C is partially correct, as harming someone can be an indication of immediate danger, but it is not the only criteria. Option D is incorrect because even if Larry is psychotic and out of contact with reality, he cannot be involuntarily committed unless he poses an immediate danger.

Question 8

(Video: Moral development: the Heinz dilemma) Lawrence Kohlberg studied the development of moral reasoning. In his experiments, he asked children, adolescents, and adults questions about the "Heinz dilemma." This is a story about

Accepted Answer

Question 9

(Video: Memory loss: a case study) If there is damage to a particular part of the brain, new memories cannot be created. The part of the brain involved in creating new memories is the

Accepted Answer

The hippocampus is the part of the brain involved in creating new memories. This is demonstrated in the given video where Henry Molaison's hippocampus was removed, resulting in his inability to form new memories.

Question 10

Question 12

(Video: Moral thinking and emotion: a challenging dilemma) When people are faced with moral dilemmas or inner conflict, brain scans indicate the ________ is active.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the anterior cingulate, a part of the brain involved in emotion regulation and cognitive control, is particularly active when individuals are faced with moral dilemmas or inner conflict. The other options - occipital lobe (A) is primarily responsible for processing visual information, sympathetic nervous system (C) is involved in the fight-or-flight response, and amygdala (D) is primarily associated with processing and regulating emotions, particularly fear. While all of these brain areas may play a role in moral thinking and emotion, the anterior cingulate is the most consistently identified region in research on this topic.

Question 13

(Video: Morelli's strange situation test) Data suggest that around ________% of infants are securely attached.

Accepted Answer

Research studies using the Strange Situation test suggest that approximately 80% of infants develop a secure attachment to their primary caregiver.

Question 14

(Video: Morelli's Strange Situation Test) Researchers typically monitor an infant's reactions in a strange situation test in order to assess whether the baby is

Accepted Answer

The strange situation test is used to assess a baby's attachment style. A securely attached baby will use their caregiver as a secure base to explore their environment and will easily be soothed upon their caregiver's return. This indicates a healthy attachment style. Therefore, B is the correct answer. Egocentric, gender typed, and autistic behaviors are not typically assessed during a strange situation test.

Question 15

(Video: Milgram's obedience studies) This video of Milgram's obedience study shows a research participant who

Accepted Answer

In Milgram's obedience study, participants could hear the learner (who was actually an actor) protesting and demanding that the experiment be stopped, but many continued to administer shocks due to the authority figure's instructions.

Question 16

(Video: Milgram's Obedience Studies) This filmed segment of Milgram's obedience studies shows a research participant who

Accepted Answer

The video segment shows the research participant (the "teacher") being told by the experimenter to continue administering painful electric shocks to the "learner," despite the learner's protests and demands to stop. The participant can hear the learner's cries and appears to be distressed by them, but ultimately follows the experimenter's orders to continue. This demonstrates the power of authority and social pressure to override individual morality and empathy. The other answer choices (A, C, and D) are not accurate based on the information provided in the question.

Question 17

(Video: Narcoleptic dogs) Like humans, dogs can suffer from narcolepsy. This disorder results in

Accepted Answer

Narcolepsy in dogs results in sudden attacks of overwhelming sleepiness.

Question 18

(Video: Morelli's strange situation test) Most infants are categorized as being either ________ or ________ attached to their mothers.

Accepted Answer

The Strange Situation Test measures an infant's attachment to their primary caregiver (usually the mother). Based on the infant's behavior during the test, they can be categorized as either securely attached or insecurely attached. Therefore, the best choices are A) securely attached or insecurely attached.

Question 19

(Video: Memory retrieval) When you are happy, you easily recall a memory that you encoded when you were happy. This is known as

Accepted Answer

State-dependent retrieval refers to the tendency to remember information better when you are in the same emotional or physical state as you were when you encoded the memory. In this case, happiness is the emotional state that is facilitating retrieval. The encoding specificity principle and the tip-of-the-tongue state are related to memory retrieval but not specifically to this scenario.

Question 20

(Video: Memory in everyday life) Residents of an assisted living community describe finding residents wandering the halls aimlessly, not recalling where they are or how they got there, as

Accepted Answer

The residents describe finding other residents wandering aimlessly as a common experience, indicating that it happens frequently among the residents. This suggests that it is a common experience for those living in the assisted living community.
