6. According to Arbib & Rizzolatti, the development of the observers ability to conciously control their MNS results in?
- Ability to emit a voluntary signal forming a primitive dialogue between parties
- Recognition of the action and intention, forming common ground
- Ability to form common ground based on causal and explanatory biological laws
- Ability to form common ground based on causal and explanatory perceptual heuristics
7. Do MNS exhibit action specificity?
8. What do MEPs provide?
- Readings from V1
- Input to the motor cortex
- A metric of motor cortex activity
- Readings from STS
9. Do MEPS reflect action specificty in action oberservation?
- Yes, watching hand action will increase MEPs in the hand
- No, MEPs reflect general muscle activation
- No, watching hand actions does not specifically activate hand muscles
- Yes, MNS are conclusively evidenced in humans
10. What is the main premise of Theory Theory?
- We acquire and deploy a commonsense theory of mind re; causal and explanatory laws
- To understand peoples actions we simulate them using motor systems
11. What deficits are shown in ASD?
- Reduced mu rhythm suppression, Increased corticospinal activation, local thinning in cerebral cortex
- Increased mu rhythm suppression, Increased corticospinal activation, local thinning in cerebral cortex
- Reduced mu rhythm suppression, reduced corticospinal activation, local thinning in cerebral cortex
- Increased mu rhythm suppression, reduced corticospinal activation, local thinning in cerebral cortex
12. How many muscles do neurons in M1 operate?
- Muscle quadrants
- Lower/upper sections of muscles
- Single muscles
- Single muscle groups
13. Where are mirror neurons (MNS) thought to be found?
14. What does TMS to human M1 do?
- Causes MEPs in muscles
- Decreases M1 activity
- Increases activation in visual and motor areas
- Make it harder to discriminate actions
15. In Iaconbi et al (2005), which condition was the greatest activation seen in in PMC?
- Intention condition
- Grasping condition
- Goal orientated condition
- Object condition
16. Are motor pathways hemispherically crossed?
- Yes, left hemisphere controls right side of body
- No, left hemisphere controls left side of body
17. In a single cell study in humans, where were neurons with MNS properties seen?
- PMC, M1 and F5
- M1 and STS
- Supplementary motor areas and hippocampus
- F5 and M1
18. Which of these is NOT an argument against a human MNS?
- Correlational evidence between visual and motor activity
- Neuroimaging is correlational
- Human single cell studies have not shown evidence of converging activation
- Indirect evidence
19. Premotor cortex neurons...?
- Operate single muscles
- Provide input to M1 cortical neurons
- Move muscles on the opposite side of the body
- Activate neighbouring muscles
20. How is M1 arranged?
- Somatotopically
- Auditotopical
- Topographically
- Retinotopically
