Chronometric studies a. have documented the descriptive (language-like) properties of mental imagery. b. have been relatively uninformative for the study of complex mental events. c. require an understanding of the brain events underlying a particular mental function. d. are time-measuring techniques used to record how long it takes to fulfill a mental proces

In the chronometric studies participants are asked a specific question in each trial, and we measure how long they need to respond. It is one of the oldest technique in online experimentation.

Chronometric studies are time-measuring techniques used to record how long it takes to fulfill a mental process. Correct D

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
