Question 4 of 11

1

Researchers believe that the biology of the individual is to blame. They have focussed on 3 areas of the brain. Which 3?

Select one or more of the following:

Reticular formation: helps processing of information we can ignore or act upon
Amygdala: located in our primitive Limbic system it is part of the fear and emotional response
Pre frontal cortex: situated in the frontal lobe it processes/regulates expression of personality and behaviour
Medulla Oblongata: regulates breathing, heart rate and other automatic processes
Cerebral cortex (grey matter): involved in sensation, memory, speech, sight, hearing and muscle control

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

The ( amygdala, hypothalamus ) is affected in people with APD. As a result they do not learn to avoid behaviour that ( harms, destroys, supports ) themselves or other people. They are not affected by the ( distress, anger, hopelessness ) that their victims show. ( Reduction, Increase ) of grey matter has been associated with this as it enables people to learn the ( social and moral, legal and expected ) behaviour of society and feel ( guilt, pleasure ). If this is ( smaller, larger ) they are more likely to behave ( badly, well ) and not worry about the impact.

1

Raine et al (2000) studied APD. Below are 2 aims, 2 methods, 2 results and 2 conclusions but only 1 of each are right. Can you pick the right ones.

Select one or more of the following:

Aim: To support the theory that APD is abnormal
Aim: To support the theory that abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex cause APD
Method: CT scanning was used to check the brain for abnormalities in 2 groups of men. All were volunteers.
Method: MRi scanning was used to study 21 men with APD and 34 healthy men. All were volunteers.
Results: The APD group had an 11% reduction in grey matter compared to the control.
Results: There was an 11% difference between the 2 groups of men.
Conclusion: There is a biological difference in the brains of those with APD.
Conclusion: APD is directly related to a reduction in grey matter.
