psyc exam 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hippocampus | Memory processing and learning. (mid, limbic system) |
| Amygdala | Rage and emotional memories. (mid, limbic system) |
| Thalamus | Intergrated sensory input with higher forebrain centers. (mid, limbic system) |
| Hypothalamus | appetite, thirst, sex, temp regulation (mid, limbic system) |
| Septal area | pleasure and reward (mid, limbic system) |
| Limbic System | septal area, hippocamus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus |
| Cerebellum | balance and coordination (lower) |
| Reticular formation | arousal, sleep, attention, screen our irrelevant noise. (lower) |
| Medulla | circulation, breathing, chewing (lower) |
| ponds | relays motor info to the cerebellum (lower) |
| Major brain regions and functions | Top= thoughts and plans. Mid=emotions and drives. Lower=basic survival functions. |
| Methods or brain researching | 1)clinical studies of individuals with localized brain damage. 2)Brain stimulations. 3)brain lesions. 4)Brain ablations. 5) Recording electical activity 6) Labeling techniques. 7) High Definition Images. |
| Historical note: Phrenology- Franz Gall (1758-1828) | myth=37 traits(areas on skull). Reality=Brain is multidimesnsional in structure and function. |
| Left Brain | analytic, speech. LD:language based. IQ: Vocab test |
| Right Brain | Global, spatial. LD: designs, maps, emotions. IQ: Block design task. |
| Sensation | stimulation os receptors |
| Preception | processing of Stimulus by higher brain centers, "an experience". |
| absolute threshold | minimum intesity detectable by 50% of the time. |
| JND | Justable Noticable Difference=min detectable change. |
| Weber's Law | Fechener discovered found constance (K)x intensity (I) formula. |
| Threshold for touch | 1% |
| Threshold for weight | 2% |
| Threshold for hearing | 5% |
| Threshold for brightness | 8% |
| Threshold for taste | 20% |
| Cornea | window that lets light in, curved, transparent |
| pupil | opening in center of the eye |
| Iris | ring of muscles, opens and closes pupil, gives eye color |
| lens | focus light on retna |
| Retna | site of electrochemical reactions, light sensitive surface |
| fovea | retinal centa (cones) |
| Layers of retna | rods, cones, deep layer |
| Rods | light/dark detection |
| Deeper layer of retna | Bipolar and ganglion cells |
| cones | color detection |
| Sequence information travels in the eye for light/dark | light-rods (rhodopsin)-bipolar cells-optic nerve-thalamus-visual cortex |
| Sequence information travels in the eye for color | light-cones(iodopsin)-bipolar cells-optic nerve-thalamus-visual cortex |
| 2 theroies of color vision | 1)trichromatic 2) opponen process theory |
| Trichromatic Theory | Theory of color vision, 3 cones, then cones are activated and reflect/absorb waves, "after immages" |
| Opponen-Process Theory | theory of color visin, 4 primary colors, some cones get excited while others are surpessed |
| types of color blindness | dichromat-2 forms of lodopsinmonochromat-1 form of lodospin |
| Outer ear | pinna and Auditory canal |
