Can you sense it?
This lobe of the brain is responsible for processing visual information.
What is Occipital?
This describes thoughts/experiences we are not aware of and may be unable to access.
What is Unconscious?
This part of your brain does not fully develop until early 20s, which may explain why we see so much risky behaviors prior to this age.
What is the Frontal lobe?
Marketing agencies often use this type of conditioning because they want buyers to transfer love for one thing (e.g., influencers) to what they are selling.
What is Classical Conditioning?
This is a memory aid or technique to help remember specific information, especially lists.
What is a Mnemonic?
_______ and amplitude are two characteristics of sound waves that affect the sound we hear.
What is frequency?
This is a state of consciousness in which a person is highly susceptible to suggestion.
What is Hypnosis?
This describes the transition from adolescence to young adulthood, when we experiment with identity, relationships, and careers (Hint: many of you are in this age group!).
This concept describes imitating the behaviors of others, especially when we see them getting rewards.
What is modeling (will also accept observational learning)?
This type of memory is recalled automatically; something you do without thinking about it (includes procedural (motor) memory.)
What is Implicit memory?
Gate-control theory describes how this experience comes from small fibers sending signals from the body to the brain.
What is Pain?
These types of drugs often have a mellowing/calming effect that slows breathing and heart rate and are often used to facilitate sleep or relieve pain.
What are Depressants (“downers”)?
This condition is a deterioration of mental abilities due to malfunctioning neural connections (e.g., Alzheimer’s).
What is dementia?
In operant conditioning, this describes when an unpleasant stimulus is removed from the environment, rewarding behavior and making it more likely in the future (e.g., buckling your seatbelt to make car stop beeping).
What is negative reinforcement?
