[Solved] Neural Recordings by Ojemann and His Colleagues Showed That

 An engram is defined as a(n) A) physical representation of memory in the brain. B) area of association cortex. C) type of lesion that reduces memory capacity. D) metaphor for the mind.

 Karl Lashley suggested that A) location of a lesion was the best predictor of learned performance. B) the size of a lesion was the best predictor of learned performance. C) size and location of a lesion were equally correlated with learned performance. D) neither the size nor the location of a lesion was correlated with learned performance.

 Lashley's concept of equipotentiality means that A) learning and memory functions are highly localized in the brain. B) size and location of lesions have equal impacts on learned behavior. C) all parts of the cortex make equal contributions to learning and memory. D) the amount of cortex you have is not related to how well you can learn.

 Lashley was incorrect in his assumption that A) parts of the cortex were equivalent in their contributions to learning and memory. B) large lesions affect learned behavior more than small lesions. C) memories are stored in one specific location in the cortex. D) size and location of lesions have equal impacts on learned behavior.

 In experiments Wilder Penfield performed on patients, they reported experiential memories when he stimulated which region of their brains? A) parietal lobes B) amygdalae C) frontal lobes D) temporal lobes

 A puff of air to the eye of a rabbit is the _______ in the classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane. A) unconditioned stimulus B) conditioned stimulus C) unconditioned response D) conditioned response

 Classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane in rabbits is prevented by lesions of the A) amygdala. B) deep cerebellar nuclei. C) interpositus nucleus of the cerebellum. D) inferior olive.

 If you temporarily inactivate the red nucleus, this will prevent A) conditioned responding but not learning. B) both conditioned responding and learning. C) neither conditioned responding nor learning. D) learning but not conditioned responding.

 When eyeblink conditioning is done in human subjects, it was found that it A) does not occur. B) is impaired in participants with amygdalar damage. C) is impaired in participants with cerebellar damage. D) is retained in participants with amygdalar or cerebellar damage.

 A friend of yours was injured while rollerblading, suffering from a brain injury that leaves her unable to learn new motor skills and having difficulty performing motor skills she previously could do. You recall from your psychology course which part of the brain is most likely involved and learn that you were correct. Her injury was to which brain area? A) the lower brainstem where the motor tracts enter the spinal cord B) motor cortex and premotor cortex of the frontal lobe C) cerebellum D) the basal ganglia
