  5. Answer: Martinez and Kesner, 1991

  6. 3) Researcher? After a research on his patient, “Tan,” he discovered an area of the brain related to speech production

  7. Answer: Paul Broca

  8. 4) Researcher? Discovered an area of the brain responsible for speech comprehension

  9. Answer: Carl Wernicke

  10. 5) Researchers? Their research showed a connection between high testosterone levels and antisocial behavior in men

  11. Answer: Dabbs and Morris

  12. 6) Researcher? Famous for work with split-brain patients whose corpus callosum was severed

  13. Answer: Roger Sperry or Michael Gazzinaga

  14. 7) Researchers? Their research showed that rats raised in a stimulating environment showed more brain development than rats in a control group and rats in an impoverished environment

  15. Answer: Rosenzweig and Bennett

  16. 8) Researcher? Developed the concept of “fight or flight” as our natural response to stress

  17. Answer: Walter Cannon

  21. Answer: Friedman and Rosenman

  22. 11) Researcher? Conducted several studies on identical twins…many of which were separated at birth and then reunited many years later; conclusion was that their similarities were largely due to genetics

  23. Answer: Thomas Bouchard

  24. 12) Researchers? Created a tame breed of foxes showing that a behavioral trait can be passed on from one generation to the next; evidence for the evolutionary perspective

  25. Answer: Belyaev and Trut

  34. 17) Researcher? Created the concept of latent learning by showing that rats who roamed a maze without a reinforcer still learned and created a cognitive map of the maze

  42. 21) Researchers? Created the multistore memory model: sensory memory, STM, and LTM

  43. Answer: Atkinson and Shiffrin

  44. 22) Researcher? In his numerous studies on memory, he created the forgetting curve

  45. Answer: Herman Ebbinghaus

  46. 23) Researcher? Showed the influence of the “spacing effect” on learning and memory
