10) Bilingual children, who learn to inhibit one language while using the other, are also better able to inhibit their attention to irrelevant information. this is known as
a.bilingual ability
b.bilingual advantage
c.bilingual stimulation
d.bilingual determinism
22)The parietal lobes are to____ as the occipital, lobes are to ____
a.hearing; speaking
b.sensing touch;seeing
c. tasting: smelling
d.speaking: seeing
e. hearing: seeing
23) The cortical regions of the brain that are not directly involved in sensory or motor function are known as
a.interneurons
b.frontal lobes
c.parietal lobes
d.association areas
e.the cerebellum
24)A picture of a cat is briefly flashed in the left visual field and a picture of a mouse is briefly flashed in the right visual field of a split-brain patient. the individual will be able to use
a.her right hand to indicate she saw a cat
b.her left hand to indicate she saw a mouse
c.her right had to indicate she saw a mouse
d.her left or right hand to indicate she saw a cat
e.neither hand to indicate she saw a mouse
1 Ans is B) Bilingual advantage. Bilingualism has many cognitive advantages and its called Bilingual advantage. Better attention and less cognitive decline in old age/ protection from dementia are some of the benefits.
2. Ans is B) Sensing: seeing
Functions of various lobes
Frontal: thinking, initiation of motor movements
Parietal : sensing, integrative sensory function
Temporal : Hearing,Memory
Occipital : Seeing
3. Ans is D) association areas. These areas integrate sensory information and play a role in higher mental functions like thinking .
4 . Ans is C) her right hand to indicate she saw a mouse. though this question appears to be incomplete, correct answer from the options appears to be C. The 50% of optic nerve fibres from each side crossover to the other side which will be severed in a split brain patient thus he will be able to use only same side hand to point to the object as information will not go to other half. The question should ideally specify which eye is being tested and not just the visual field.
