Attempts to explain personality, motivation, and mental disorders by focusing on unconscious determinants of behavior
20
Psychoanalytic Theory
21
Seven unifying themes of Psychology
22
Empirical, Theoretically Diverse, Evolves in a sociohistorical context, behavior is determined by multiple causes, shaped by cultural heritage
23
Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information
24
Neuron
25
Difference between the central and peripheral nervous systems
26
central is the brain and spinal cord and peripheral is made up of all the nerves that lie outside the brain and spinal cord
27
Occurs when sodium gates in the membrane of a neuron open, permitting sodium ions to flow into the axon
28
Action potential
29
Steps of a synaptic transmission
30
Synthesis and storage, Release, Binding, Inactivation and removal, and Reuptake
31
Major components of a neuron
32
Soma, Dendrites, Axon, Myelin sheath, and Terminal buttons
33
The ability of the brain to reorganize and compensate for brain damage
34
Plasticity
35
Connects the two hemispheres and pass information between them
36
Corpus Callosum
37
What are the major neurotransmitters
38
Acetylcholine, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, and Endorphins
39
Consists of a group of brain structures which are involved in emotional expression, memory, and motivation
40
Limbic System
41
Receives sensory inputs from the right side of the body, controls right side movements, language function, analytical and logical, math and sciences
42
Left Cerebral Hemisphere
43
Making unobtrusive observations in natural settings
44
Naturalistic Observation
45
In an experiment, the variable which is assumed to influence a subject’s behavior and which is manipulated
46
Independent Variable
47
