Brain Scans Find Consciousness in some Vegetative (2:58 Mins)
Transcript Download Transcript( pdf)
From the video (and what you have learned in the course thus far), explain what you feel the “next steps” of this research line could be. What do you feel neuropsychology could do to help people that appear to be in a vegetative state but may only be “locked in”. Are there other things we need to first learn from tests like fMRI, or other parts of the research problem still missing? Explain where your opinion comes from. Use evidence from the textbook and/or other references to support your views.
- Design an experiment based on one of the learning styles (e.g., classical, operant, social). Explain why you chose that particular style and what you would hope to learn from the experiment. Be sure to include any ethical considerations as well as the type of research you would conduct (case study, naturalistic observation, etc.). Use evidence from the textbook and/or other references to support your views.
- First, read this article: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/a-shocking-way-really-to-break-bad-habits/ (Links to an external site.) as well as this article: https://undark.org/article/pavlov-matters-associative-learning/ (Links to an external site.)
After reading those two articles, what do you feel is the most important takeaway from chapter 6, and how does that takeaway relate to one of the two articles? Explain.
