Biological Basis of Behavior
An experiment that demonstrates a link between the size of a specific brain region and an individual's capacity for memory would best illustrate which psychological approach?
What is the technique that uses electrodes placed on the scalp to record the electrical activity of the brain, which can be used to study brain waves and diagnose neurological disorders?
Which brain imaging technique would reveal the most detailed information about the activity of specific neurons while a subject performs a memory task?
How could comparative studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) measure subtle differences in emotional processing between Easterners and Westerners when exposed to affective stimuli?
If transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) were used on bilinguals performing a task switching exercise, what might this reveal about the influence of culture on executive function?
