Cognitive Neuroscience Study Set 3

The approach-withdrawal model attempts to explain A.Arousal and valence B.Positive versus negative emotions C.Basic actions taken in responding adaptively to the environment D.How each individual emotion corresponds to a different brain region

Research suggests that the path to the amygdala that is important for quick, instinctive emotional response is from the: A.Anterior thalamus to the amygdala B.Neocortex to the amygdala C.Amygdala to the cortex D.Hippocampus to the amygdala

Situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive reappraisal, and response modulation are all strategies involved in A.Reinforcement contingency B.Reversal learning C.Emotion regulation D.Fight-or-flight response

Reversal learning is: A.The ability to change behavior when contingencies change B.Cognitive inflexibility C.The degree to which a reward or punishment is associated with a particular stimulus or action D.Impaired after damage to the insula

Emotional experiences often include bodily changes.This response depends upon the:

Damage to the amygdala typically results in:

Which of the following is not associated with insula activity:

Cortisol is an important hormone involved in the flight or fight response and is released by the _______________________:

Many studies have shown the importance of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in emotion regulation.Which of the following findings is true:

The insula is: A.Another name for the insular cortex B.Found inside a fissure of the brain called the HYPERLINK "http.//www.neuroscientificallychallenged.com/glossary/lateral-sulcus" \t "_blank" lateral sulcus C.Involved in our self-awareness D.All of the above.

The nucleus accumbens is: A.Activated when deprivation is experienced B.A cluster of cells in the hindbrain C.Activated when an unexpected reward is received D.One of the brain areas where electrical stimulation is least rewarding

According to the valence-arousal model of emotion, sadness would be described as the following:

Recognizing and producing facial expressions of emotion primarily involves: A.The right hemisphere B.The left hemisphere C.The hypothalamus D.The amygdala

Which part of the brain is important for early detection of emotional information and rapid response to that information? A.Hypothalamus B.Amygdala C.Adrenal glands D.Uncus

Propositional prosody communicates: A.Semantic information B.Emotional context C.Sarcasm and superiority D.Comprehension

Psychic blindness is: A.The mind is visualizing, but a person's eyes are not working. B.Ability to process the sensory properties of objects but not understand the affective properties of those objects. C.Ability to understand the affective properties of those objects, but not process the sensory properties of objects. D.Inability to understand the mental states of other people.

The cingulate cortex is involved in: A.Motor control, cognition, and emotion B.Visual perception of emotion C.Facial expressions of emotion D.Production of prosody

The cerebral cortex is crucial for the emotional function: A.Deciding whether a particular behavior is likely to lead to a positive or negative outcome B.Inferring the feelings of others based on facial expression C.Using the correct tone of voice to convey to others how we are feeling D.All of the above

Interoception is the ability to: A.Resolve conflict between competing or distracting information B.Perceive the internal state of the body C.Regulate autonomic function D.Integrate emotion with decision-making

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is associated with many kinds of emotional and cognitive processing.Which of the following is not true regarding the OFC:
