Question 1

A remarkable disorder in which someone can recognize the people in his world, but is convinced that these people are not who they seem to be.

Question 2

• The hindbrain is located directly above the spinal cord and contains various structures that are essential for controlling important life functions (heartbeat, breathing, balance, posture and alertness). Most of the hindbrain, the cerebellum, has been held responsible for years for coordinating balance and exercise.

• The midbrain has different functions. It plays an important role in coordinating movement and is involved in processing auditory information and regulating pain experiences.

• For us, however, the most interesting part is the forebrain, especially the cerebral cortex. The wrinkles (convolutions) are part of the outer layer of the brain. The grooves between these wrinkles divide the brain into different parts. The largest groove is the longitudinal fissure, which separates the left hemisphere from the right hemisphere. Other grooves divide the cortex into four lobes: the front lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and occipital lobe.

Question 3

The optic nerve is not only a 'cable' that enables the transfer of information, the nerve cells that are part of it are also involved in analyzing the visual input.

Question 4

A pattern in which cells that are stimulated inhibit 'neighbor cells'. This pattern causes cells that detect the outside of a surface to react more strongly, which is also called edge enhancement.

When you have seen a (word / object / person) more often and / or recently.

Question 3

The knowledge is spread over the entire network and only becomes visible if you look at the entire network.

Question 4

The McClelland and Rumelhart model states that activation of one detector can lead to the inhibition of another detector. This model also claims that information is sent to and from the brain, as appears to be the case during visual processing.

Question 5

The RBC model contains a level of detectors that are sensitive to geons, which are basic 'building blocks' for all objects that we recognize. Geons are merged into geon assemblies, which then activate the object model. Advantages: recognition based on geons is point of view dependent; most objects can be recognized by using only a few geons.

Answer indication Open questions

Question 1

You locate the information stored in your memory and you can actively use it, which is also called retrieval.

Question 2

The iconic memory is the memory for visual information and the echoic memory is the memory for auditory information.

Question 3

Types of memory:

• Sensory memory: content is stored in 'raw' sensory forms.
• Short-term memory (or working memory): information is held here while you are working on it.
• Long-term memory: a larger and more permanent storage location where all your knowledge and beliefs are stored.

Question 4

Effects:

• First words: primacy effect; words are still in working memory. However, the primacy effect has a different source: memory rehearsal of the first few items. More time and attention can be paid to these words, which increases the chance that they will be stored in the long-term memory and retrieved from it.
• Last words: recency effect; words are still in working memory. The recency effect is caused by the fact that the items at the end of the list are still in the working memory and therefore easy to retrieve.

Question 5

If you really sit down to read this document, you are intentionally learning (you intend to learn something). If you are doing a fun game and you see how tactically someone is playing and you learn from that, then you learn incidentally.

It is also easier to plant a memory when the participant is instructed to think about the event, instead of only hearing about the event.

Question 3

Three ways:

• Involvement in the event to be remembered; people can better remember material that is related to themselves, which is also called the self-reference effect.
• Emotions; when emotions are involved, something is often easier to remember and people often also pay more attention to an emotional situation. Finally, emotional events often involve repetition.
• Long decay; It seems that certain memories reach a status of permanent storage (permastore).

Answer indication Open questions

Question 1

Preparation, incubation, illumination (Aha! Moment) and verification. However, not all researchers agree. With this strategy, people often break the problem into sub-problems, each with their own purpose, making it easier to solve the problem.

Question 2

Indicates how good / bad you can predict a performance based on IQ.

Question 3

• Fluid intelligence: dealing with new and unusual problems.

• Crystallized intelligence: skills and knowledge.

Question 4

The average IQ becomes higher over the years, this is called the Flynn effect.

Open questions

Question 1

What are action slips and how can they be explained?

Question 2

What possible explanation does the author of the book provide for the difference between being awake and sleeping?

Question 3

What is the neural workplace hypothesis?

Question 4

What does someone talk about when he speaks about 'phenomenal consciousness'?

Answer indication Open questions

Question 1

Action slips are moments when someone does something else than what they intended in the first place. For example: brushing your teeth in the bathroom, while you actually intended to get the nailclipper from the bathroom. The cognitive unconsciousness mind ensures efficiency, but for that it has to compromise on flexibility and (executive) control. It is, for example, influenced by habits or by the situation. This may explain why action slips occur, why you do something else than what you intended to do.

Question 2

The neural workplace hypothesis.

Question 3

The neural workplace hypothesis starts with the idea that a lot of processing in the brain is executed by separated, specialised brainmodules. However, when you focus your attention on a particular stimulus, neurons from different modules will connect through the workplace neurones (solving the binding problem). The anterior cingulate cortext is important for detecting the conflict between different metal operations. The neural workplace idea can also explain the difference between being awake and sleeping.

Question 4

About the subjective experience of consciousness.
