One of the Experimental Strengths of Brain-Lesion Methods in Animals

question 36

Multiple Choice

One of the experimental strengths of brain-lesion methods in animals, compared to human neuropsychology, is that

• A)animal work can be truly experimental, whereas with humans we are limited to correlational inferences.
• B)with animal work, we can be confident that the effect of a lesion eliminates the contribution of a single structure.
• C)humans, but not other animals, often develop compensatory strategies to minimize the consequences of a lesion.
• D)with animals, but not humans, we can create temporary "lesions" using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Understand the mechanism of enolization and the conditions under which it occurs.

Apply knowledge of pKa values to predict the direction of equilibrium in acid-base reactions.

Understand the types of reactions that enols and enolates can undergo, including aldol and Claisen condensations, Michael addition, and alkylation.
