combination of ability, morality and achievement resulting in good genes

study of behaviour with little to no reference to mental events or instils as possible influences on behaviour

focuses on unique aspects of each individual human, their freedom to act, rational thoughts, or beliefs

an emphasis on needing to focus on the whole of perception and experience, not just parts

when the measurement provides consistent and stable answers across multiple observations and points in time

coming to the same conclusion

can be bias if taking test again, which may compromise results

multiple observations should come to the same conclusion using same measurement of argument

an individuals story or testimony about an observation or event, used to make claim or evidence

the belief in an experts claim even when no scientific or supporting details are presented

variables outside the researchers control, that may effect results

the degree to which genetics explain individual differences or variance in a behaviour or trait

Main cell body

Allow one neuron to connect to another

Base of the neuron

Hoe the neuron moves

Drugs that enhance or mimic the effects of a neurotransmitter

drugs that inhibit an neurotransmitters activity by blocking receptors or preventing stimuli

-regulates activity of organs , glands and other psychological processes

transmit sensory info and control movement of skeletal muscles

prepares body to react and expand energy in times of stress

maintains body functions, conserves resources

change in surface level activity in the brain during cognitive involvement

Brainstimulation by wilder penfield manipulating something directly and allowing it to affect correlation and causation. use of electoral current to induce certain behavioural response

presented below conscious threshold, detected with no conscious awareness

Parts of the retina

makes up the raw visual pictures that make up what we are looking At

neurons that respond selectively based on scientific aspects of the stimulus and specific regions of the visual field

to get an image we need to look at a particular screen

Looking at the face as a whole

relies on depth cues to make perceptual connections to retinal image, where objects need to be larger ignorer to trick the brain

the ability to perceive objects as having constant shape, size and colour despite change sin perspective, where the Brian factors in depth cues

Perceptual cues

the are along the basilar membrane that gets stimulated corresponding with frequency

diffrent frequencies respond with different sound

when hair cells fire synchronously with a rising pressure, and phase as sound stimulus

Inner ear

combing sensations from different modalities into a single integrated perception

ability to decree between 2 different points of pressure, where the sensitivity corresponds with areas of greater neural representation in the somatosensory cortex

The perception of objects

Visual information that influences the sense of touch

Where projections go in taste

A thin layer of cells that large lined by sensory receptors called cilia
