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
Subliminal messaging
Parts of the retina
Retina = contains light detecting cells, where the cornea and lenses will reflect light Cones = concentration on fovea to produce high detail colour bison at out point of focus Rods = outer region of the retina provides peripheral vision and are specialized for low light Dark adaptation = -the process where rods and cone gain sensitivity to low light levels
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
Binocular cues = -distance cues that are based on the differing perspective of Both eyes Concergence = - occurs when the eye muscles contract so that both eyes focus on a single object Retinal disparity = the difference in perspective provided by each eye Stereopsis = Sense of depth
the are along the basilar membrane that gets stimulated corresponding with frequency
Places theory; the inner ear
diffrent frequencies respond with different sound
Tonotopic maps
when hair cells fire synchronously with a rising pressure, and phase as sound stimulus
Inner ear frequency theory
Inner ear
Auditory pathways = where signals collect Cochlear nucleus = cross over of auditory signals to other hemisphere Medial geniculate nucleus = structure within the thalamus responsible for routing auditory transmissions Primary auditory cortex = organized similar to cochlea , breaks down frequency that have been exposed and organize along a tonotopic map
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
Test your knowledge on the combination of ability, morality, and achievement resulting in good genes, the study of behavior with little to no reference to mental events or instincts, and the emphasis on needing to focus on the whole of perception and experience. Explore unique aspects of each individual human's freedom to act, rational thoughts, or beliefs.
