Case Studies 1. A small family was traveling in its van and had a minor accident. The children in the back seats were wearing lap belts‚ but still sustained numerous bruises about the abdomen‚ and had some internal organ injuries. Why is this area more vulnerable to damage than others? Name specific organs that would be injured‚ as well as the abdominopelvic quadrant and region in which they are found. What injuries might you suspect in the damaged organs? The area is vulnerable because

time to take the exam. Declarative memories are the memories that we make an effort to remember. If you don’t study for the written exam you will not do well. The hippocampus is a horse-shoe shaped area of the brain that plays an important role in consolidating information from short-term memory into long-term memory. Damage to the hippocampus can cause anterograde amnesia. This is the loss of ability to create memories. B. Operant conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards

The idea of cognitive maps has been around since Edward Tolman first developed the idea in 1948 while he was doing research on small animals‚ such as rats‚ navigating through mazes; and‚ although confusion efforts by way of obstacles‚ the rats still managed to find their way to the reward (Bridgmon‚ 2015). The theory was that this memory created a map in the rat’s mind‚ called cognitive maps; and even if distracted or interrupted by outside stimuli‚ the map would still be encoded allowing the rats

He developed a case of total amnesia because of his illness‚ since the hippocampus (are required to transfer memories from short term to long term) is damaged‚ he can’t form lasting new memories‚ his memory last from 7 to 30 seconds. He remembers very little of his life before his illness‚ for example that he has kids but doesn’t

Temporal lobe epilepsy is a syndrome that results from recurrent epileptic seizures that can be traced back to the temporal lobe. In general‚ epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells‚ or neurons‚ in the brain sometimes signal abnormally. Neurons normally generate electrochemical impulses that act on other neurons‚ glands‚ and muscles to produce human thoughts‚ feelings and actions (NINDS‚ 2006). In temporal lobe epilepsy the normal pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed

Biological Level of Analysis Learning Outcomes 1. Outline the principles that define the biological level of analysis. a. Patterns of behavior can be inherited: There is innate behavior “hard-wired” in organisms that is carried on through genetics. It makes certain stimuli generate certain response and is usually evolutionary. b. Animal research may inform our understanding of human behavior: Biological analysis of animal behavior can be used to predict similar results in humans
