Exam 2: Research Methods in Perception

Magnitude Estimation is useful because:

The slope of the psychometric function gives:

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with short (<5 ms) intervals between pulses:

The units into which the brain is subdivided in the analysis of data from fMRI are known as:

Data obtained from Magnitude Estimation are:

Adaptive Methods make use of:

Support for the Bayesian approach to perception has come from studies of:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Method of Adjustment and a two-alternative Forced Choice task as ways of measuring sensory thresholds?

In Signal Detection Theory, the observer's criterion:

Broca examined post-mortem the brains of patients who had problems in speaking but not in understanding speech. He found lesions in the:

A shortcoming of the Method of Constant Stimuli is that:

A receptive field is:

The psychometric function:

From the Auditory Evoked Potential, one can identify:

Compare and contrast single cell recording in animals and the study of humans with brain damage as ways of studying brain function.
