Researchers Have Used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to Disrupt Portions

question 49

Multiple Choice

Researchers have used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to disrupt portions of the healthy brain. When asking participants to search for a target, we expect TMS applied to the parietal lobe to

• A) have no effect on participants who have not suffered parietal damage.
• B) disrupt the search for both a target defined by a single feature (e.g., "Find the red shape") and a target defined by a conjunction of features (e.g., "Find the shape that is red and round").
• C) disrupt the search for a target defined by a single feature (e.g., "Find the red shape").
• D) disrupt the search for a target defined by a conjunction of features (e.g., "Find the shape that is red and round").
