- Quantitative
- data with numbers
- Qualitative
- interviewing
- Survey method
- questionaires, structured interviews
- Case study
- in depth observation of a particular case or type of case
- Naturalistic Observation
- observing and recording behavior in naturally occurring environments without intervention
- Independent Variable
- what is being manipulated or introduced
- Dependent Variable
- the behavior or process that is being mearured: effected by the independent variable
- Control Group
- Participant not exposed to independent variable
- Random Assignment
- randomly selected variable sample that does not interfere with the experiment
- Placebo effects
- something that is nothing
- Single-blind
- Researcher knows Patient does not
- Double-blind
- both researcher and patient do not know
- Confounding variables
- anything tha can change the outcome of an experiment
- Deception(ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS)
- procedure used to mislead patient
- Informed consent(ETHICAL CONSIDERATION)
- patients have enough info to determine whether they want to participate or not
- EEG(electroencephalograph)
- amplified recording of brain wave activity
- CT(computed tomography) Scan
- provides structural info quickly
- PET(positron emission tomography) Scan
- finds tisue function levels and measures glucose levels
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
- 3D images
- Myelin sheath
- speeds transmissionm of messages
- Dendrites
- Recieves messages
- Axon
- where messages are sent to other nuerons, muscles, or glands.
- glial cell
- forms sheath
- 3 types of nuerons
- 1.sensory 2.motor 3.internueron
- Nuerotransmitters
- chemical messengers such as norepinephrine, serotin, dopamine
- 4 parts of brainstem
- 1. medulla 2.Pons 3.Reticular 4. Cerebellum
- 3 parts of the Limbic System
- 1.Amygdala 2. Hippocampus 3.Hypothalamus
- Medulla
- involuntary functions(ex. swallowing breathing, heart rate,etc.)
- Pons
- Connects brainstem to cerebellum)
- Reticular Formation
- sleep, arousal, attention.
- Cerebellum
- Problem solving, smooth skilled motor movement
- Amygdala
- emotional response. Fear anger and aggression
- Hippocampus
- new conscious memory, way finding, deteriorization in Alzheimers
- Hypothalamus
- Master regulator. Hunger, thirst, sex behavior, emotion, body temp, bio clock Fleeing fighting fucking feeding
- Thalamus
- Brains relay station Ability to learn new verbal info language production sleep regulation
- Motor cortex
- controls motor functions. Back of frontal lobe
- Sympathetic Division of PNS
- Arousing
- Parasympathetic
- Calming
- Sensory Cortex
- Front of Parietal lobe. Sensation of feeling
- Cerebral Cortex(function)
- info highway from eye to brain
- Cerebral Cortex(3 areas)
- 1.Broca's Area 2.Wernicke's Area 3. Corpus Callosum
- Broca's Area
- Controls speech production and allows muscle movement
- Somatic nervous system
- moves limbs(outside)
- Autonomic nervous system
- Internal movement
- Wernicke's Area
- Language Comprehension and expression
- Corpus Callosum
- Connects the two sides of the brain
- Split Brain condition
- condition in which the corpus callosum is injured
- Endocrine System
- Glands that regulate growth, reproduction, metabolism, mood, and some behavior.
- Hormones
- chemical messenger secreted through the bloodstream by the endocrine glands.
- Adrenal glands
- pair of endocrine glands just above the kidneys that secrete hormones for arousal in times of great stress
- Pituitary Gland
- under the influence of the hypothalmus, regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
- Enriched environments of Nueroscience
- learn to grow and develop
- Nuerogenisis
- Area of study in which production of new nuerons takes place. No particular situations have been assesed yet.
- Psychonueroimmunology
- Study of nuerons fitting together with the behavior of the immune ystem.
- Sensation
- process of sense organs recieving info from the environment. First time feeling.
- Perception
- interpreting sensory info
- Constructivism
- The use of every experience youve ever had to CONSTRUCT your own idea or perspective of reality.
- Gestalt
- the tendency to fill in the whole idea or image.
- 4 laws of perceptual organization
- 1. similarity 2. continuity 3. connectedness 4. closure
- Similarity
- organized according to its likeness to each other
- continuity
- organized by a smooth or a not broken pattern
- connectedness
- organized as a single uniformed unit
- closure
- organized by filling in the gaps and making a single unit
- Perceptual constancy
- object remains same when retinal image changes(4 leaf clover or american flag image)
- Subliminal perception
- info presented to brain below level of conscious awareness
- 4 types f Extrasensory Perception(ESP)
- 1.Clairvoyance 2.Telepethy 3.Precognition 4.Psychokinesis/Telekinesis
- Clairvoyance
- seeing into the future
- Telepathy
- transferring info from person to person
- Precognition
- feeling something is about to happen
- Psychokinesis/Telekinesis
- mind's ability to moe, alter, or influence
- Sara was critically damaged in her head and died. This is a result of damage to what area of the brain?
- Brainstem
- Dr. Zimmerman was uninformed in a clinical drug testing trial where the patients were also uniformed abou the contents of the drug.(what answer did she give us in class)a. control b. observent c. d. e. none of the above
- e.None of the above
- Lens
- gets fatter and thinner to change the focus of the image as it is reflected on the retina. Lies behind the retina
- Cornea
- Clear coating on the outside of the iris and pupil
- Pupil
- dark circular hole in the center of the iris
- iris
- changes the size of the pupil which allows for different amounts of light to enter the eye
- Retina
- produces an image which is sent along the optic nerve for the brain to interpret
- Outer Ear
- directs sound into the ear and to the middle ear
- Inner ear
- made up of two main functional parts; cochlea vestibular apparatus
- Middle Ear
- consists of the ear drum and, beyond it, a cavity. also contains a chain of 3 little bones; the malleus, incus, and stapes.
- Cochlea
- organ of hearing detects pressure impulses and responds with electrical impulses which travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.
