Chapter 20. From Nerve Cells to Cognition

1. The proportions of the sensory homunculus are most closely related to
1. Size of body part
2. Amount of sensory innervation
3. Skin surface area
4. The price of tea in China
2. A patient had a motor convulsion that began in the left hand, progressed to the right hand, then the right leg, then the left leg. Consciousness was preserved. This is indicative of
1. A "Jacksonian march"
2. Nonphysiologic dysfunction
3. Remapping of motor cortex
4. Developmental dysplasia of motor homonculus
3. In an experiment in which monkeys are trained to repeatedly use the tips of certain fingers in a behavioral task, the result was
1. Enlargement of the cortical motor representation for the fingers used in training
2. Remapping of referred sensation
3. Astereognosis
4. All of the above
4. Which of these signs and symptoms are not characteristic of right parietal damage?
1. Spatial neglect
2. Deficits in delayed alternation tasks
3. Astereognosis
4. Dressing apraxia
5. According to the philosphers John Searle and Thomas Nagel, the dominant feature of consciousness is
1. Subjectivity
2. Unitary nature
3. Intentionality
4. All of the above
