cognitive neuroscience questions with correct answersCourse Objectives Correct Answer--To identify the intellectual
underpinnings and history of the concepts of cognitive neuroscience
-To develop a working knowledge of the central nervous system and the
basic functions which underlie human behavior
-To understand the behavioral and neuroscientific methods that are
applied to the study of cognition and brain function
-To explain the major theories and models of fundamental cognitive
processes and explore current thinking on how such models guide the
study of the functioning human brain
-*including perception, memory, attention, language, and emotion (basic
higher cognitive functioning)
-*uncover ingenious observation of clinical populations

A Brief History of Cognitive
Neuroscience Correct Answer-WHAT IS COGNITIVE
NEUROSCIENCE?
Relatively new field of study that was only formally
named in the late 1970s.
• Combines the study of "Cognition" (process of
knowing) and "Neuroscience" (study of the nervous
system)
• Goal: To understand how the functions of the
physical brain are associated with mental processes
,and yield the output of the mind
• Origins of modern cognitive neuroscience date
back to the 1600s and earlier.

you are taking to enrich your knowledge and restructure your brain! To

THE BRAIN: HISTORY OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL
APPROACH Correct Answer-Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) - heart was seat
of
mind and soul

through ventricles of brain

soul
• Willis (1664) - beginning of modern view that
the brain is responsible for mental functions
DR THOMAS WILLIS (1621-1675) Correct Answer-Cerebral cortex
might be
the center of what makes
us human
• Coined the term
neurology (among
others)
• Compared behavior in
life with brain structure at
death
