In experimental design, researchers often (but not always) will include 2 types of controls. These are known as the ___________ and ___________ controls, which show constitutive affirmative and negating result respectively.

Single cell recordings in the dorsal stream (parietal areas) tell us about the mechanisms involved in action control. All of the following is true, EXCEPT:   a. All listed here are correct   b. Neurons in different parietal areas support the link between gaze-centered neurons area to the body-centered neurons   c. Some neurons signal whether to move eyes and some neurons signal whether to move hands   d. Some neurons in the anterior intraparietal area respond to 3D shapes that vary in size/orientation, but not to 2D shapes   e. Some neurons respond based on the position of an object in relation to the hand   f. Neurons in the parietal cortex are allocentric and they exhibit activity that reflects learned movements

A gymnast is able to maintain a steady posture while on a balance beam. In order to maintain balance, the gymnast would need to see the balance beam and determine where her feet are touching it. She would need to control the muscle contractions in her body to ensure she doesn’t fall off the beam.   The regions of the brain numbered above that are involved directly in maintaining balance are Answer,  Answer,  Answer, and Answer. Record your answer in descending (highest to lowest) order.

What is the primary reason for randomizing group allocation in a randomized controlled trial (RCT)? Question 3 options: to create treatment and control groups of equal size to blind participants to their group allocation to evenly distribute known and unknown factors that may affect the outcome between groups to increase the treatment effect between intervention and control groups

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disorder where the myelin sheath in the brain and spinal cord are destroyed. Symptoms are varied and MS is often difficult to diagnose. Often, one of the first signs of MS is poor or delayed motor function (some patients may experience difficulty retaining their urine, while others may experience difficulty moving their tongue or arms). come up with a hypothesis explaining why symptoms vary from person to person.

Discuss the early and late associative effects in the cellular processes of neurons that occur as a consequence of classical conditioning.

Could you please help me find the independent variable and the dependent variable please

In a hypothetical experiment, a monkey was trained over 500 trials to perform well in a centre-out reaching task. The trajectory of the trained animal’s hand from the start point in the centre to each of the eight peripheral targets was tracked and is plotted in Panel A of Figure 2 below. Once the animal was trained in this task, a uniform force field was then applied to the manipulandum arm that the monkey had to move to reach the targets. The animal was trained under this new force field regimen for a further 500 trials. During one of the last trials, the force field was unexpectedly not applied. The movements in this ‘unexpected’ condition are shown in Panel D. ‘Trial’ refers to a complete set of eight movements, one to each of the targets. • Use Panels B and C to illustrate: (i) the direction of the uniform force field that must have been used in the experiment; and (ii) the trajectories of the hand that you would expect on the first of the trials carried out under the force field…

Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on cognitive functions conducted a con- trolled experiment in which rats were randomly assigned to sedentary (Sed), low-intensity exercise (Low-Ex), or high-intensity exercise (High-Ex) groups. During this exercise regi- ment, rats were also trained to navigate a specialized water maze, and their escape la tency, the time it took them to escape the maze, was recorded. The results of this experi- ment are depicted in the figure below. escape latency (sec) 100 80 60- 40- 20 0- day 10 day 11 Escape latencies during the training phase Based on the data above, day 12 (b) Identify the control group in the experiment. sed -- low-ex -- high-ex (a) Identify the dependent and independent variables in the experiment. day 13 Respond to each part in 3 to 4 complete sentences. (c) Compare the effects of low-intensity and high-intensity exercise on the rats' cognitive func- tion during the training period.
