Prefrontal Lobe/Amygdala Activity Quiz Experience
Frontal Lobe/Amygdala Activity Quiz Experience

1. Purpose -The purpose of the experiment was to determine which part of the brain different people use when accidentally bumped into. The experiment was done in various places to people of different genders so the experiment was more random. The prefrontal cortex was the part of the brain that reasoned with what was happening; when people use this part of their brains their reactions are milder. The amygdala (part of the limbic system) was the part of the brain that triggered an angry or annoyed response.

2. Hypothesis -My original hypothesis, were that men in general would be more sympathetic to a teenage girl bumping into them then a woman would be.

    Summary: A Class Divided

    Mrs. Elliot third-grade class was able to understand that discrimination and prejudice created barriers which were hard to overcome and rather than judging a person on the color of their skin or how someone eye color could tell who is far more superior, we as human being should love and understand one another. The Asch Conformity Experiment was conducted by Solomon Asch who was a Polish gestalt psychologist. The experiment begins with a man or a woman and seven other subjects, who are actually a part of the research team, however, the man or the women doesn’t know that they are the only real subject.

    Differences Between Watson And Rayner's Experiment

    Since they had given Albert, a child who originally was an emotionless being, a conditioned to stimulus of rats mainly animals or furry items, he may carry this throughout his life and shape his development. Another hypothesis they wanted to test was if you could remove these conditioned responses but unfortunately the subject was removed from the hospital, which may have led to some more findings. All in all the study had followed the scientific method, even though it may have been slightly unethical by producing fear in a child, but ethics are new subject in the field psychology which would not have been practiced back in the…

    Frontal Temporal Dementia Research

    It was in 1892 that Dr Arnold Pick first published journal articles on a condition that appeared to be a variant of what was then termed senile dementia. At the time this degeneration was referred to as Pick’s disease, a term allegedly coined by one of his pupils (Weder, et al, 2007), and related to the progressive destruction of neurons mainly in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. This condition has subsequently been designated Frontal-Temporal Dementia (FTD), and is considered second only to Alzheimer’s disease in terms of the most common cause of dementia (Pasquier & Petit, 1997). This essay explores FTD in relation to: what it is, the biological presentation of the condition, and cognitive and behavioural changes associated with…

    40 studies review

    The section that I chose to read was Reading 23: Watching your emotions. Pages 175-180. This study was a recent study that is representative of research that is in the process of changing psychology in potentially compelling ways. Research article was listed as Mind readers by Philip Ross that was in the Scientific American August 11, 2003. 289(3), 74-77. The purpose for this study was . This was a seemingly small exploratory study that used an MRI machine to scan the brains of the participants while they were lying or telling the truth to show the brains activity. There were two sections of participants whos ages were not specified. One group of participants were asked to select one of three envelopes, all of which contained the 5 of clubs and a $20 bill. (they did not know that all of the contents were the same). Then they were asked to memorize the card and return all of the contents into the envelope and conceal it in their pocket. If they could successfully keep the card a secret from a "Computer" that could analyze their thoughts then they could keep the $20 bill. The other group of participants received the 2 of hearts and were instructed to tell the truth and not conceal what card they had. Each participant was then put into the fMRI (functional MRI) with access to a YES or NO button. They were then asked if they had a particular card. The researchers knew the answer but the participants did not know that. The results of the study were clear. The ones who told the truth utilized only one region of the brain, while the ones who lied utilized two regions of the brain. The significance of this study was mentioned by Hock as 1.) To demonstrate how MRI scanning may have importance…

    In The Dead Salmon Summary

    Famous scientist and author David Brin once declared,” The worst mistake of first contact, made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter, has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions.” In the Dead Salmon Study, lead by Craig Bennett, researchers intended to study the human brain and its responses to social stimuli. Before starting the experiment, the researchers tested the fMRI with pumpkin and a chicken, before settling on an Atlantic salmon. The salmon was exposed to photos of humans in social situations and was asked how the human must have been feeling. The brain organizes incoming information into voxels, which are used to make comparisons. The researcher looks at one section of the voxel and sees which other sections are activated. Looking through…
