The detection of physical stimuli (light, sound, touch).

The organization and interpretation of sensory information.

Converting physical stimuli into neural signals.

Specialized cells in the retina that detect light.

Photoreceptors responsible for detail and color vision.

Photoreceptors responsible for low-light vision.

The minimum stimulus intensity needed for detection.

Principles that describe how we group individual parts into whole objects.

Perception of an object's size remaining the same regardless of distance.

Specialized neurons that detect physical stimuli.

A learning process where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus, eliciting a conditioned response.

Learning through consequences, where rewards increase behavior and punishments decrease it.

Increasing a behavior by adding a desirable stimulus.

Increasing a behavior by removing an unpleasant stimulus.

Consciously recalled memories, including episodic (personal experiences) and semantic (facts).

Unconscious memories, like skills and procedures.

The idea that forgetting is rapid initially, then slows as time passes.

Old memories hinder the learning of new ones.

The process of accessing stored information.

The process of converting and organizing information into a format that the brain can use.

A temporary storage of information, limited to about 7 items plus or minus 2.

A stable storage system that can hold information for years or a lifetime.

A famous patient whose hippocampus damage impacted explicit memory formation, but not implicit memory.

Can be unreliable due to suggestibility and misinformation.

The idea that the brain is analogous to a computer, taking inputs, processing them, and producing outputs.

Mental shortcuts used in problem-solving; they are fast but not always accurate.

Judging the frequency or likelihood of something based on how easily examples come to mind.

Seeking out confirming evidence and ignoring contradictory information.

A theory suggesting that the brain uses two distinct modes of processing: one quick and intuitive; another slower and more deliberative.

A concept proposed by Spearman that suggests an underlying general intelligence that influences overall cognitive abilities.
