| Prompt | Response |
|---|---|
| Conducted psychology’s first experiment | Wilhelm Wundt |
| Introduced structuralism | Edward Titchener |
| Introduced functionalism | William James |
| Introduced behaviorism | John Watson |
| Introduced natural selection | Charles Darwin |
| an early school of psychology that used introspection to explore the structural elements of the human mind | Structuralism |
| a school of psychology that focused on how our mental and behavioral processes function – how they enable us to adapt, survive, and flourish | Functionalism |
| the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental processes | Behaviorism |
| historically significant perspective that emphasized the growth potential of healthy people and the individual’s potential for personal growth | Humanistic psychology |
| the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition (including perception, thinking, memory and language) | Cognitive neuroscience |
| a branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior | Biological psychology |
| a branch of psychology that assists people with problems in living (often related to school, work or marriage in achieving greater well-being) | Counseling psychology |
| a branch of psychology that studies, assesses, and treats people with psychological disorders | Clinical psychology |
| a branch of medicine dealing with psychological disorders; practiced by physicians who sometimes provide medical (for example, drug) treatments as well as psychological therapy | Psychiatry |
| a statement of the procedures used to define research variables | Operational definition |
| a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon | Action potential |
| the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse | Threshold |
| Neural impulse process | K+ ions inside the axon, Na+ ions start getting let in, at a certain concentration the K+ ions get channeled out until an equilibrium is reached, at which point Na+ goes back out and K+ goes back in |
| natural, opiate-like neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure | Endorphins |
| Nervous System Breakdown | Central Nervous System (brain & spinal cord) & Peripheral nervous system (everything else) |
| Peripheral Breakdown | Somatic (skeletal muscles) & Autonomic (glands, muscles of internal organs) |
| Autonomic Breakdown | Sympathetic (arouses “Fight or flight”) & Parasympathetic (calms “Rest and digest”) |
| Four Types of Brain Imaging | STRUCTURE – CAT (x rays from multiple angles) & MRI (high frequency magnetic fields); FUNCTION – EEG (voltage changes, timing) & PET (radioactive glucose, location) & fMRI (tracks magnetic properties of oxygen, location) |
| Hindbrain | Medulla (breathing, swallowing, heartrate & balance), Pons (sleep, attention & facial movements), Reticular formation (arousal/alertness), Cerebellum (balance & muscle movement) |
| Subcortical Structures | Thalamus (sensory information switchboard, except smell), Hypothalamus (reward, maintenance, pituitary gland), Basal ganglia (learning through reward, coordinates action via dopamine system), Limbic system (learning and emotional processing) |
| Limbic System | Amygdala (2 lima-bean sized clusters linked to emotion), Hippocampus (formation of new memories), Hypothalamus (reward, maintenance, pituitary gland) |
| Four Lobes & Functions | Frontal lobes (forehead, higher level cognition & speaking), Parietal lobes (Top back of head, somatosensory/touch and body position), Occipital lobes (back of head, visual input), Temporal lobes (above ears, auditory input from opposite ear) |
