13. What observation has supported the idea that dissociative identity disorder might involve learning?
Different alters show different skin conductance patterns.
Different alters show different cardiovascular activity patterns.
Hippocampal damage can result from childhood abuse and is shown in dissociative identity disorder.
Dissociative identity disorder is not related to a history of childhood abuse.

15. What is one reason why scientists have proposed that the claustrum could be the executive brain area for consciousness?
The claustrum synchronizes its activity with the prefrontal lobe via gamma oscillations.
The claustrum is located in the neocortex.
The claustrum is densely connected with sensory, motor, and limbic areas.
Lesions of the claustrum result in brain death.
