Explanation / Answer
33. The high-level processing of auditory signals is done at the auditory cortex. It is a part of the temporal lobe of the brain. The auditory cortex plays an important role in hearing. It is also considered to play an important role in the understanding of language.
34. Proactive interference. Debra is unable to memorise the new list effectively because the memory of the previously learned list is hindering the subsequent learning of the new one, also called proactive interference.
35. The dust here is an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the blinking (unconditioned response).
36. Iconic memory is sensory memory for visual images. Suppose if we look at a particular object, close our eyes and try and visualise the same, the image that forms in our minds is actually the iconic memory of the object.
37. Experiments like the one by Watson and Rayner highlight the need for ethical review of research. They conducted the famous Little Albert Experiment because the purpose of the experiment was to induce fear in the little child which could psychologically harm the child.
