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
