This is the variable in a study that a researcher measures.
200This is the research method
where one person is examined in great depth.
300Observing how teenagers behave at a shopping mall without interfering or
attempting to alter this behavior would be an example of this type of
research method.
400An experimental design that reduces
possible confounding variables because neither the researcher nor
the participant is aware of the condition to which the participant is
assigned.
500He developed the school of
Functionalism and wrote Principles of Psychology –
one of the earliest psychology textbooks.
100Twin studies have been useful
in attempting to gain insight into this ongoing debate in
psychology.
200The brain and spinal cord make up this part of the
nervous system.
300This method of studying the
brain uses electrodes to measure electrical brain wave
activity.
400The autonomic nervous
system (ANS) is broken into these two parts.
500This part of the brain is known as the “sensory switchboard” since it takes
information from all of the senses (except smell) and sends it to the higher parts of
the brain, and then sometimes sends information from these parts out to the
cerebellum and medulla.
100A quick flash of the message
“Eat popcorn” on a single frame of a movie reel would be an example of this type of
stimuli.
200This is the idea that we only focus our awareness on a limited aspect of what we
experience.
300These receptor cells are
located near the center of the retina and detect color and
detail.
400According to the Young-
Helmholtz trichromatic theory, these are the three types of color receptors in the retina.
500This is an illusion where adjacent lights blinking in succession cause us to
perceive motion.
100This is the stage of sleep that
involves the most vivid dreaming.
200A sleep disorder characterized
by suddenly and uncontrollably lapsing directly
into REM sleep.
300He was the main proponent of the
“wish fulfillment” theory of dreaming – the idea that dreams represent unconscious wishes and desires.
400This is the deepest stage of sleep, characterized by delta
waves, that becomes shorter or nonexistent as the night
continues.
500Our body’s daily “biological
clock” that functions on a 24-hour cycle and is cued by natural light and darkness.
100The psychological perspective
that examines how natural selection of traits promotes
the perpetuation of one’s own genes.
200These are the chemicals that neurons use to communicate
across the synaptic gap.
300The psychological perspective
that proposes that behavior comes from unconscious
drives and conflicts.
400No longer noticing the cold temperature of a pool 30
minutes after jumping in is an example of this.
500The term for the way in which the brain processes multiple
things at the same time.
