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.

FOUR F's found Where
Hypothalumus
