Question

Which of the following is the best example of 'levels of analysis' when studying the brain?
A) A neuron in primary visual cortex, a region in primary visual cortex, the occipital lobe, and the entire human brain
B) The frontal lobe, the temporal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the parietal lobe
C) A man's brain, a woman's brain, a child's brain, and an ape brain
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

The concept of 'levels of analysis' refers to examining a phenomenon at different scales or perspectives. Choice A illustrates this concept by presenting a progression from the smallest unit (a neuron) to the largest (the entire human brain), each level providing a different perspective on brain function. Choices B and C list different types of brains or brain regions but do not represent a progression of analysis levels from the micro to the macro scale.
