6. What is task impurity?
- Task does not correspond to everyday processing
- Task is not measuring what it is intended to
- Task relies on a mixture of cognitive processess, making interpretation difficult
- Results do not generalise to other experiments looking at the same thing
7. What is a disadvantage of the IPA?
- A computer uses input and output
- A computer is very complex
- A computer does not possess meaning
- A computer is not a human
8. How have views changed of the human mind from the IPA?
- Acknowledge it cannot be used in controlled experiments
- Acknowledge it is very similar to a computer
- Acknowledge it is capable of more than information processing
- Acknowledge it can be tricked by optical illusions
9. What is the aim of cognitive neuroscience?
- To see how information is processed in the brain
- To observe which areas of the brain are active during cognitive tasks
- To assess how damage to the brain affects behaviour
- To understand how we attend to and perceive information
10. What is task specificity?
- Task does not correspond to everyday processing
- Task is not measuring what it is intended to
- Results do not generalise to other experiments looking at the same thing
- Task relies on a mixture of cognitive processess, making interpretation difficult
11. hat part of cognitive psychology is involved with brain imaging?
- Cognitive neuroscience
- Information processing approach
- Cognitive neuropsychology
- Experimental cognitive psychology
12. What is bottom-up processing?
- Processing directly affected by the stimulus
- Processing influenced by attending to stimulus
- Processing influenced by the individual's knowledge and experience
- Processing affected by optical illusions
13. What is different between non-living and living things?
- Represented differently in the brain
- Processed in a different brain region
- Deficits in those regions
- They cannot be processed at the same time
14. What is a disadvantage of cognitive neuropsychology?
- Brain damage could extend beyond areas in question
- Replications are easy
- The experiments are not controlled
- The results can apply to everyday life
15. hat part of cognitive psychology is involved with patient evidence?
- Information processing approach
- Experimental cognitive psychology
- Cognitive neuropsychology
- Cognitive neuroscience
16. What are the three methods used in cognitive psychology?
- Uncontrolled experiments, case studies, brain imaging
- Observations, questionnaires, controlled experiments
- Controlled experiments, patient evidence, brain imaging
- Controlled experiments, interviews, observations
