Question

ariel uses animals to model what behavioral defects happen when certain parts of the brain are removed. andrew scans humans as they perform an attentional task to see what areas of the brain they are using. ariel would be considered a(n) ____, while andrew would be considered a ____.
options:
cognitive neuroscientist; behavioral neuroscientist
behavioral neuroscientist; cognitive neuroscientist
evolutionary psychologist; behaviorist
behaviorist; cognitive psychologist

Explanation:

• Behavioral neuroscientists study how brain changes (like removing parts) affect behavior, which matches Ariel's work with animal brain - part removal and behavioral defects.
• Cognitive neuroscientists study brain activity during cognitive tasks (like attention), which matches Andrew's work scanning humans during an attentional task to see brain areas used.
• The other options don't fit: evolutionary psychologists study evolution - related behavior, behaviorists focus on observable behavior without brain - focus, and cognitive psychologists focus on cognition without the neuroscience (brain - scanning) aspect here.

Answer:

B. behavioral neuroscientist; cognitive neuroscientist
