Psychologist: In an experiment, volunteers were asked to solve abstract arithmetic problems while their brains were being scanned. The brain scans revealed considerable activity in the linguistic-processing centers of the brain. However, it is likely that this activity reflected passing thoughts that are not an indispensable part of arithmetical reasoning processes.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the psychologist's judgment?
A) The volunteers who reported that they had used language in their minds when solving the arithmetic problems were the most efficient in solving them.
B) The brain scans revealed activity in several parts of the brain other than the linguistic-processing centers.
C) In experiments in which volunteers have been asked to perform mental tasks other than arithmetic while their brains were being scanned, activity was often present in the linguistic-processing centers of the brain.
D) Studies have found that some
