Measures of Consciousness

Question 10 • Psychology A

Some scientists typically think of consciousness as a product of __________.

Answer
A
the conversations and social interactions experienced in childhood
B
the interaction of electrical signals from the brain’s synapses
C
an ancestral consciousness, shared among all organisms
D
the cultural accumulation of knowledge and understanding

Explanation

Many scientists explain consciousness as arising from brain activity, including the interactions of electrical signals among neurons at their synapses. Childhood conversations and cultural knowledge can influence a person’s thoughts and experiences, but they are not the usual scientific account of consciousness itself. The best answer is “the interaction of electrical signals from the brain’s synapses.”
