The Ear
What are the two types of theories for hearing?
Place and Frequency theory
detects color, detail, and used during the day
Cones
a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli; a picture-image memory lasting no more than a few tenths of a second.
Iconic Memory
What part of the brain controls emotion?
Amygdala
Infants understand the world through sensory impressions and motor activities.
Sensorimotor stage
What are the common names for the three tiny bones (ossicles) in the middle ear?
The hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
detects black, white and gray, provides peripheral vision and used mostly at night
Rods
a clear, sustained memory of an emotionally significant moment or event.
Flashbulb Memory
What part of the brain controls heartbeat and breathing?
Medulla
Children gain the mental operations to think logically about concrete (physical) events.
Concrete Operational Stage
Which structure of the ear is responsible for the transduction of sound waves into neural impulses?
Cochlea
Neurons that are activated by rods and cones
Bipolar cells
a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli; if attention is elsewhere, sounds and words can still be recalled within 3 or 4 seconds.
Echoic Memory
What part of the brain is in charge of maintaining homeostasis?
Hypothalamus
Children use language and images but cannot perform mental logic.
Pre-operational stage
What type of hearing loss is when there is damage to the cochlea's hair cell receptors or the auditory nerve?
Sensorineural hearing loss
Theory that retina contains three types of color receptors (Red, Green, Blue). This explains color blindness.
Trichromatic Theory
Memories that you consciously have to think about
(Ex. Facts)
Explicit Memory
What part of the brain Controls balance, Coordinates coordination Stores implicit memories
Cerebellum
final phase of child development where a person learns to think abstractly and use systematic logic to solve complex problems.
Formal Operational stage
What type of hearing loss is caused by damage to the mechanical system—the eardrum and middle ear bones?
Conduction hearing loss
Theory that visual information is analyzed in opponent pairs (Red-Green, Blue-Yellow, Black-White) as it travels to the brain
Opponent - Process theory
Memories that work automatically without you thinking about them
(Ex: Riding a Bike)
Implicit Memory
What area controls the speech production and what area controls the language comprehension?
Broca's area and Wernicke's area
Put the four stages in order
Concrete
Preoperational
Formal
Sensorimotor
