Question

1. How do endogenous internal states of intention, volition, and motivation in the brain of the participant contribute to performance in the signal detection task.

2. What component of the experiment does the scientist use to control those states in the participant described in your answer to number 47 to occur during the signal detection task.

3. What novel modification of theory of signal detection does Stevens power law include in the causal chain during experiments designed to examine and describe thresholds that are not described by classical theories of thresholds.

4. How is Stevens method of measuring thresholds related to that developed by Bekesy and described in lecture

5. Assess all possible confounding sources thought to vary thresholds and the experience of reality as described in text and lecture. Please list any source you think is important and missing from your analysis

6. Describe for a novice what the qualia of an experience is, and what cognitive (mind) processes occur within a person to extract qualia from the experience of external events internal to a person that is experienced as reality by that person

7. Describe for a novice the importance of psycho-physics to the understanding of science of physical reality and the role of cognition (mind) in that process.
