Answer:
The correct answer is (D) cognitive restructuring
Explanation:
In psychology, cognitive restructuring is a term that refers to a technique where negative and erroneous thoughts, known as cognitive distortions, are identified, rejected, and replaced by more positive and helpful ideas. In our case, when Tom thinks "What a dummy I am, always studying the wrong things", this self-deprecative perception of himself is a cognitive distortion. However, when Tom rejects this thought and instead goes with a much more positive "I studied some of the right things, and I will do the best I can", <u>he's engaging in cognitive restructuring</u>. This process is a core part of cognitive behavioral therapy, and has been shown to be very effective in improving mental health.
Answer: True
Explanation: The typical synapse in the Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of 3 parts namely:
1) 'The Presynaptic Neuron' formed by the terminal button of an axon
2) 'The Postsynaptic Neuron' made up of segments of dendrite or cell body
3) 'The Synaptic Cleft' which is the space between the presynaptic neuron and postsynaptic neuron.
The 'Central Nervous system (CNS)' is made up of the brain and spinal cord.
A 'Synapse' is a junction between two nerve cells. It transfers information from one cell to another either by 'diffusion' or through 'neurotransmission'. The transfer of information can be from nerve to nerve or nerve to muscle.
The 'Presynaptic Neuron' is a nerve cell that fires the neurotransmitter. In other words, it delivers messages (neurotransmission) across the synapse. The 'Postsynapse' is the receiver of the neurotransmission which is the message.
