| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| recall structure of human nervous system | cns, pns, autonomic, somatic, sympathetic, parasympathetic |
| recognise that cerebral cortex can be divided into areas | forebrain (cerebrum + cerebral cortex), left hemisphere language, right hemisphere creativity frontal lobe- motor cortex and Broca's area, complex functioning parietal lobe- somatosensory cortex, spatial orientation temporal lobe- receive and process a |
| recall that language processing occurs in Broca's area, Wernicke's area, and Geschwinds territory | Broca's- involved in production of coherent speech Wernicke's- processing and understanding language Geschwinds- links the two together |
| recognise that voluntary movement is coordinated from the primary motor cortex, cerebellum and basal ganglia | PMC- cerebral cortex, controls and executes movement, receives intention, finalises motor plan, signals motor neurons, divided into areas each matching a body part Basal Ganglia- control muscle tone, posture, large movements, prevent unwanted movement C |
| recognise that emotion occurs within the limbic system, amygdala and prefrontal cortex | Hippocampus- regulation and expression, relevant memories, processes emotional stim, survival actions, physiological response to fear Amygdala- activation of emotions, conditioning, perceive emotions, store and recall Prefrontal Cortex- connects, regula |
| communicate neurotransmission using a diagram | |
| distinguish between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters with reference to glutamate and GABA | Excitatory- make a neuron more likely to fire Inhibitory- make a neuron less likely to fire Glutamate- excitatory, learning and memory GABA- inhibitory, regulates anxiety, arousal and sleep |
| compare the physical and psychological functions of acetylcholine, epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine | Dopamine- affects behaviour, muscle movement, speed, pleasure, reward, motivation, addiction Acetylcholine- muscular contraction, REM sleep, learning, neuroplasticity Epinephrine- fear response, heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, fear, arousal Norepi |
| discuss the impact of neurotransmitter interference with reference to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease symptoms and treatments | Parkinson's- lack dopamine, unpredictable movement, muscle rigidity, slowed thinking, memory problems, reduced facial emotion, TREATMENT- increase dopamine does not slow current progressor, links to impulse control issue, addictive tendencies Alzheimer's |
| determine biological influences on visual perception including ageing, genetics, physiological makeup | |
| explain psychological influences on visual perception including - perceptual set - visual perception principles (gestalt, depth cues, constancies) | |
| evaluate the impact of social influences on visual perception with reference to cultural skills | |
| analyse the fallibility of visual perception | |
| explain the process of visual perception with reference to reception, transduction, transmission, selection, organisation and interpretation | |
| recognise the duration and capacity of sensory, short and long term memory | |
| explain how information is stored in LTM with reference to implicit and explicit memory | |
| evaluate theories of memory | |
| describe the role of the hippocampus in memory formation and storage | |
| consider the role of the cerebellum in forming and storing implicit memories | |
| distinguish between recall, recognition and relearning | |
| describe how info is lost from memory through encoding failure, retrieval failure and interference effects | |
| discuss strategies to improve memory including chunking, rehearsal and mnemonics | |
| recall the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, neutral stimulus, conditioned stimulus and conditioned response | |
| distinguish between stimulus generalisation and discrimination | |
| describe extinction and spontaneous recovery | |
| describe learned fear responses | |
| distinguish between reinforcement and punishment | |
| compare classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov 1897/1902), operant conditioning (BF Skinner 1948) and social learning theory (Albert Bandura 1977) | |
| distinguish between modelling and vicarious conditioning |
