Midterm

This is an sampling from my psychology 101 midterm, which I have to work on taking this weekend. I'm glad that it's an open-book test with four days to work on the 100 question test that constitutes a full 25% of our final grade, but with questions like this and everything I have going on this weekend, I don't think it's gonna help.

Monkey Shines, Herman's pet monkey, started to behave like patients with brain damage. He demonstrated a lack of empathy of concern for others. This behavior, seen in patients with brain damage, is know as:

A. cortical lateralization
B. acquired sociopathy
C. learned callousness
D. neural consolidation


Any ideas?

never took psych, but I would guess B is the answer from four years of BS-ing tests. am I right?

When in doubt choose C??? But that actually sounds like the least likely of the four...how about E?

I'm guessing B. What was the real answer?
