A man experiences a stroke that damages part of his brain. After the stroke, his wife would regularly put a plate of food in front of him, but he would only eat food on one side of the plate. He can see just fine, but he fails to notice things on one side of his visual field. Also, when scientists did tests on him, they would ask him to draw a picture of the beach. He would include small features like a beach umbrella but would miss the big features like the stretch of sand and water that form the coastline. Which of the following brain regions is the damage from the stroke most likely located?

Choose one of the three lists below and create a narrative centered on the terms in the list (note: if you’ve already completed an essay question in this exam, make sure the list you choose for this question is different than the previous list you chose). The narratives should include real-world experiences (not necessarily your own) that illustrate the six terms in each list. Each experience that illustrates a term should be brief and should clearly demonstrate your knowledge of the term’s definition (without explicitly defining the term) and application to the real world. Bracket the sentences for each experience and then include the term being illustrated in parentheses at the end of the experience. For example, if the term were attentional bias, I could write the following real-world experience with the appropriate brackets and parentheses: . The six real-world experiences should flow and be part of an overall story rather than six distinct and stand-alone experiences. You may include some transition sentences between your real-world descriptions, in order to help with the flow of the narrative. Each experience that accurately illustrates a term will receive 3 points. If the narrative creates an overall story rather than six separate experiences, you will receive 7 additional points, making each essay worth 25 points and the essay section worth a total of 50 points. Note about example described above: attentional bias refers to a situation when people pay extra attention to some stimulus or feature.   List 1 Elaboration Ribot’s Law Superordinate Typicality Level Same-category Heuristic Forgetting curve Dorsal visual pathway   List 2 Skeletal conditioning Prototype Model Alignment Heuristic Proactive Interference Anterograde Amnesia Emotional Stroop Effect   List 3 Ad Hoc Categories Spatial Framework Model Reminiscence Bump Procedural Memory Semantic Network Model Object Permanence
