- 1What is and EEG (electroencephalography)>An EEG is and electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain.
- 2Describe how an EEG is carried out and what it does.it is typically non invasive with the electrodes placed along the scalp. EEG records the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time
- 3What is an FMRI?A functional neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology that measure brain activity by detecting change associated with blood flow.
- 4What does an FMRI measure?this technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled. When an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region also increases.
- 5What is a TMS? (transcranial magnetic stimulation)A TMS is a magnetic method used to simulate small regions of the brain in order to measure the connection between the brain and a muscle.
- 6How does a TMS work?During a TMS procedure a magnetic field generator or 'coil's placed near the head of the person receiving treatment.the coil produces small electric currents in the the region of the brain just under the coil. The coil is connected to a stimulator that delivers electric current to the coil.
- 7Why is a TMS used?TMS is used diagnostically to measure the connection between the brain and a muscle to evaluate damage from stroke, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, movement disorders, motor neuron disease and injuries and other disorders affecting the facial and other cranial nerves and the spinal cord.
- 8What is eye-tracking?Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the point of gaze or the motion of an eye relative to the head. They are used in research of the visual system.
- 9What is the frontal lobe of the brain?it is located at the front of the brain and is concerned with planning, parts of speech and movement (motor cortex), emotions, and problem-solving.
- 10The parietal lobeConcerned with perception of stimuli such as touch, pressure, temperature and pain.
- 11Temporal lobeConcerned with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli (hearing) and memory (hippocampus).
- 12Occipital lobelocated behind the parietal and temporal lobe and is concerned with many aspects of vision.
- 13What is critical period?Specific time ranges early in life when experience can maximally influence the organisation and function of the nervous system
- 14What is plasticity?The idea that the nervous system is continuously able to change in subtle ways e.g. we can continue to lear a new skill in our life
- 15What are the 4 stages in page's cognitive development theory?1. sensorimotor stage
2. Preoperational stage
3. concrete operation stage
4. formal operation stage - 16Sensorimotor stage:Birth - 2 years: unconnected sensations, representational thought
- 17Pre operational stage:2-7 years: conservation of quantity and number, ego centrism
- 18Concrete operation stage7-11 years: concrete concepts/no abstract thinking
- 19Formal operation stage11+ years: development of abstract thought
- 20What is conservation?conservation refers to a logical thinking ability which according to Piaget occurs at the concrete operational stage. It is the principle that properties of mass, volume and number but remain the same even though changes have occurred in the forms of objects.
- 21What is object permanence?the awareness that object continue to exist when not perceived - occur after the sensorimotor stage.
- 22What is facial inversion effect?Refers to the findings that recognition of inverted faces is less accurate than recognition of upright faces
- 23Stage 1 of Johnson's face recognition theory?Subcortical visual pathways are fully functional in the neonate
A predisposed subcortical visual pathway prefers face-like stimuli.
Spending time in fixing face shapes the development of the cortical structure. - 24Stage 2 of Johnson's face recognition theory?The looking behaviour and correlated neural activity set up the cortical regions involved in face processing.
