6. In a study by Oosterhof & Todorov (2008) which face features elicited more pp responses of 'untrustworthiness'?

  • Smaller eyes, with thinner asymmetrical face shapes
  • 'Babylike' faces, larger eyes andsymmetrical features

7. What are the two types of prosopagnosia? (face blindness)

  • Congenital prosopagnosia and developmental prosopagnosia
  • Acquired prosopagnosia and medical prosopagnosia
  • Acquired prosopagnosia and developmental prosopagnosia
  • Medical prosopagnosia and congenital prosopagnosia

8. What would be a good example of low consistency, high specificity?

  • The amygdala does not always respond to fearful stimuli, but it is only activated by them
  • The amygdala will always activate in response to fearful stimuli and also is activated by other emotions such as anger
  • The amygdala will not often activate in response to fearful stimuli and is also activated by lots of other emotions
  • The amygdala will always activate in response to fearful stimuli, and amygdala is specifically activated by fear and no other emotions

9. Which brain area in Heatherton et als (2006) study was activated when pp was asked to self-reflect?

  • The mPFC, lowest in the friend condition with activation increasing in self and case conditions
  • The mPFC, highest in the self reflecting condition with activation decreasing in friend and case conditions
  • The mPFC, lowest in the self reflecting condition and highest in the friend and case condition
  • The mPFC, highest in the friend condition with activation decreasing in self and case conditions

10. Why are "people love their iphone if x is activated" fMRI studies problematic?

  • Most brain regions are not functionally specific, many areas are functionally heterogeneous
  • Most brain regions are not functionally consistent, many areas are functionally heterogeneous in their consistency

11. In Haxby's (2000) core and extended neural models for facial processing, where does the core system start?

  • The auditory cortex
  • The visual cortex (Inferior occipital gyri, superior temporal sulcus, lateral fusiform gyrus)
  • The interparietal sulcus
  • The visual cortex (superior occipital gyri, anterior temporal sulcus, lateral fusiform gyrus)

12. In biological motion, which brain area is activated by the movement of the eyes, mouth, hands and body?

  • Superior cingulate cortex
  • Superior tempoparietal sulcus (STS)
  • Superior temporal sulcus (STS)
  • Anterior cingulate cortex

13. 3 patients with amygdala damage rated people on their trustworthiness. What was found?

  • They rated untrustworthy faces as more trustworthy and a normal response for trustworthy faces
  • They rated both untrustworthy and trustworthy faces as untrustworthy
  • They rated both untrustworthy and trustworthy faces as trustworthy

14. What qualities does the fusiform face area have? (FFA)

  • Low consistency and high specificity when a face is presented
  • High consistency and high specificity when a face is presented
  • High consistency and low specificity when a face is presented
  • Low consistency and low specificity when a face is presented

15. What would a good example of high consistency high specificity be?

  • The amygdala will not often activate in response to fearful stimuli and is also activated by lots of other emotions
  • The amygdala will always activate in response to fearful stimuli and also is activated by other emotions such as anger
  • The amygdala will always activate in response to fearful stimuli, and amygdala is specifically activated by fear and no other emotions
  • The amygdala does not always respond to fearful stimuli, but it is only activated by them

16. What is self-reflective thought?

  • The ability to recognise somatic sensations as your own and not of the Other
  • The ability to have a distinction between the self and other resulting in the ability to perceive oneself as an object
  • Being able to pass the mark test by learning that it is not another person in the mirror

17. What measurement does the IAT test use?

  • Eye-blink component, pps racial attitude reported beforehand
  • Reaction time, pps racial attitude NOT reported beforehand
  • Eccrine sweat gland activity, Reaction time, pps racial attitude NOT reported beforehand
  • Reaction time, pps racial attitude reported beforehand

18. When amygdala activity was recorded in response to unfamiliar white faces (neutral expression), what was found?

  • The amygdala only activated to fearful subsets of the faces
  • An S shaped activation pattern, with most subtle differences in untrustworthy faces detected.
  • A U shaped activation pattern, with most subtle differences in untrustworthy faces detected.
  • The amygdala always activated

19. How does the consistency & specificty concept affect how we interpret fMRI studies?

  • The type of reasoning along the lines of "they love their iphone if insula activated after looking at iphone" is only correct if insula shows both high consistency and specificity to iphone
  • The type of reasoning along the lines of "they love their iphone if insula activated after looking at iphone" is only correct if insula shows neither high consistency and specificity to iphone
  • The type of reasoning along the lines of "they love their iphone if insula activated after looking at iphone" is only correct if insula shows high consistency and low specificity to iphone
  • The type of reasoning along the lines of "they love their iphone if insula activated after looking at iphone" is only correct if insula shows low consistency and high specificity to iphone

20. In a second experiment, what was the general conclusion made by Phelps et al (2000)?

  • Amygdala response is modifiable with experience
  • Amygdala response not modifiable with experience
  • All americans are racist
  • Race did not find, with future research to have a correlation with attitude
