Based on the image below, please label the following parts of a neuron using the box of terms below. Please be aware that you will only use terms in the box once and that there are many distractor terms included in the box that will not be used.   A (the starting parts). B (the entire length). C (the ending parts). D (the bright orange part). E (the large tan part). F (the tan part between the orange parts).   If any of these areas are unclear about what they’re pointing to, please make sure to describe that in your answer for possible partial credit.

Two professors disagree about whether overall amount of time spent studying or student’s type of studying will improve their learning the most. They decide to each encourage their classrooms to do either more hours of studying or different types of studying. These professors both explain to their students which study method they are encouraging and tell them they’ll be collecting surveys throughout the semester to test this hypothesis. What potential problem could this cause?

Which of the following shows high construct validity?

Please label your answers with an appropriate label for each part of the question. In class, we discussed how one brain area never works in isolation from other areas. Using the complex task below, decide which brain areas should be involved in this task. Please list at least 2 brain areas and describe what they will do in this task. Two additional brain areas can be listed & described for extra credit points. Complex task: thinking up a new story to explain a cool constellation

Please label your answers with the appropriate letter for each part of the question. Manny usually considers himself to be a health-focused student. He works out, eats healthy foods, and limits his unhealthy habits. However, during the pandemic, he doesn’t see the need to wear a mask because he’s not at high risk. While watching the news at home with his parents and grandparents, though, he sees an interview with a doctor explaining that younger people not wearing masks puts those around them, especially those in older generations, at higher risk of catching the virus, which is more likely to lead to serious complications and/or death for those older generations. Because of this, he experiences cognitive dissonance. (a) Define cognitive dissonance (2 pts) (b) What is the behavior that causes the conflict in this scenario? (1 pt) (c) What is the cognition that causes the conflict in this scenario? (1 pt) (d) List the three ways of reducing cognitive dissonance (1 pt each) and give an example for each that he may use based on his problem above. (1 pt each)
