Brain Nerds
This person was known as the father of behaviorism, he did the little Albert study, and known for classical conditioning
Watson
Receives sensory input for movement and touch. Contains the somatosensory cortex
Parietal Lobe
The narrow, tubelike passage through which sound enters the ear
Ear canal
Transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to focus images on the retina
Lens
The brain and spinal cord
Central nervous system
Four stage theory of cognitive development. One: Space sensory motor. Two: Pre-operational. Three: concrete operational. Four: Formal operational.
Piaget
Part of the limbic system; involved in memory
Hippocampus
The hammer-shaped bone that is the outermost of the three small bones in the mammalian middle ear
Hammer
The central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones surround it
Fovea
Transmits information to/from the central nervous system
Peripheral nervous system
Specific mental talents were highly correlated. All cognitive abilities showed common core "g" factor/general ability.
Spearman
Contains centers for the control of vital processes, including respiration and cardiovascular functions. It also is involved in the coordination of eye movements and balance
A coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger nerve impulses
Cochlea
Light sensitive; contains rods/cones and layers of neurons that start to process visual info
- Part of the Peripheral Nervous System
- Automatically regulates glands, internal organs, etc.
Autonomic nervous system
Multiple intelligences: Verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic
Gardner
Ability to read, controls word transformations into auditory code
Angular gyrus
It gathers sound energy and focuses it on the eardrum
Pinna
Protects the eye and the first place where light enters; bends light to focus
Cornea
- Part of the Peripheral Nervous System
- Carries sensory information and controls movement of the skeletal muscles
Somatic nervous system
Trichromatic theory of color vision: three types of color receptors and
Young-Helmholtz
Support, nourish & protect neurons; make up the cerebral cortex
Glial cells
It gathers sound energy and focuses it on the eardrum
Semicircular canals
Point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye
Blind spot theory
- Part of the Autonomic Nervous System
- Maintains body functions under ordinary conditions
- Saves energy
Parasympathetic division
