It controls signals for other glands and is considered the "master gland." It regulates the body's rhythms and secretes melatonin. It regulates metabolism and has a large impact on personality. CONCEPT Endocrine System: Glands and Hormones Report an issue with this question 2 Which type of memory enables a person to retain small amounts of information for further processing? Short-term memory Long-term memoryWorking memory Procedural memory CONCEPT Short-term Memory Report an issue with this question 3 Which area of the hindbrain transfers information between the brainstem and the rest of the brain? Pons Cerebellum Brainstem Medulla CONCEPT Hindbrain: Brainstem, Medulla, Pons, Reticular Activating System and Cerebellum Report an issue with this question 4 Select the true statement about Wernicke's area. It is the area responsible for emotions. It is the area involved in creating meaning and understanding language. It is the area responsible for processing sensory information. It is the area involved in creating an understanding of visual information.CONCEPT Cerebral Cortex: Parietal Lobes, Temporal Lobes and Occipital lobes Report an issue with this question 5 Which of the following describes the retrieval stage of memory? In this stage of memory, the brain retains information in order to access it at a later time. This stage of memory involves the interpretation of unconscious thoughts. In this stage of memory, the brain converts sensory information into memory form. This stage of memory involves gaining access to information or events from the past. CONCEPT Memory Processes Report an issue with this question 6 When an environmental stimulus that was present at the time of an occurrence later helps a person retrieve a memory of the occurrence, this is called __________. a memory cue storage encoding state-dependent learning CONCEPT Memory Retrieval and Environment Report an issue with this question7 Which of the following nervous systems is made up of the brain and the spinal cord?
