Define ‘attachment’ as the term is used in psychology. the tendency of infants to form an emotional bond to another person, usually their main caregiver. the tendency for infants to connect with their parents the need for food over care an infants need to connect with both of their parents through physical touch Fill in the blanks in the paragraph below Zack was playing with his sister was overheard saying "I want to play with he cars so she wants to play with cars" and According to Piaget, Zack is demonstrating ego-centrism, which means he is likely to be in the pre-operational, which is in the age range of 2-7 years. A patient is suffering from spatial neglect. Name the most likely area of damage in the cerebral cortex. Describe one symptom which the patient is likely to display. Which of the follow is not a symptom of Parkinson's disease Tremors involving continuous, involuntary shaking (trembling) of the body Muscle Rigidity, or ‘stiff muscles’, where muscles seem unable to relax and are always tight Ignoring one side of their world Balance problems and instability Pauline was almost hit by a car when she ran across the road. State one physiological (body) change Pauline would initially experience during the survival response, and explain how this change might improve her chances of survival. Neuroimaging Techniques MRI Structural technique. Uses magnetic fields to vibrate atoms in the brain's neurons CT Structural technique. Used x-ray equipment to scan the brain at different angles PET Functional technique. Produces colour images of the 'working brain' by tracking a radioactive tracer fMRI Functional technique. Measures oxygen consumption across the brain using MRI technology Uncle Toby has just had a stroke (a disruption of the blood supply to the brain) in his right hemisphere. What difficulties he might now show because of the damage to his brain. difficulty moving the right side of his body difficulty sensing things on the right side of his body difficulty in the area of spatial ability problems producing speech Justin has a brain tumour which has caused Wernicke’s aphasia.a. What side and lobe of Justin’s brain is most likely to have been affected?b. Describe two difficulties that Justin would experience when he is involved in a verbal conversation. When compared to computerised tomography (CT), outline one advantage of using positron emission tomography (PET)? In the ‘nature versus nurture debate’, nature refers to _, while nurture refers to _. the physical environment; attachment to one’s parent physical characteristics; mental functions inherited genetic makeup of an individual; external environmental influences the environment; heredity During the formal operational stage of cognitive development, Piaget suggested that the adolescent develops: abstract thinking. transformation. reversibility. conservation.

Social factors are more important than psychological factors in determining mental health. Biological factors are not as important as psychological factors in determining someone’s degree of mental health. Barry is taking part in an experiment where the activity of his brain is measured while a pressure stimulus is applied to his hands, arms, legs and feet. Information is recorded about how the brain responds when the stimulus is applied.Name the part of Barry’s brain that responds to the pressure stimulus.
