occipital lobe
What is visual processing
100

This monoamine is produced from tryptophan and regulates sleep, appetite, and mood; low levels are associated with depression

What is serotonin?

100

These two photoreceptor types mediate scotopic (low-light) and photopic (daylight/color) vision respectively.

What are rods (scotopic) and cones (photopic)?

200

This method observes subjects in their natural environments without intervention.

 What is naturalistic observation?

200

what is regulation and cordination of movement, posture and balance

what is the function of the cerebellum

200
what is the ability to write
What is the pariental lobe control of
200

This neurotransmitter is most closely linked to muscle movement and is deficient in Alzheimer’s disease.

What is acetylcholine?

200

A patient has loss of central vision (a central scotoma) but peripheral vision largely intact. Which structure is likely damaged?

What is the fovea or macula of the retina?

300

This term refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure.

What is validity?

300
What is c) vision
___ helps control the body autonomic functions (things you don't need to think about when you preform) like respiration and heart rate a) cerebellum b) frontal lobe c) the medulla oblongata
300
What is True
The frontal lobes control our emotional response. True or False?
300

This inhibitory neurotransmitter helps reduce anxiety and is increased by benzodiazepines

Gaba

300

A patient bumps into objects on their right side and reports they don't notice things there; visual fields otherwise intact.

PARIETAL LOBE 


400

Researchers use this procedure to prevent participants' expectations from influencing results.

What is a placebo/control condition?

400
the brain stem
What is responsible for the basic vital life functions
400

What is c) four

How many lobes make up the brain a) 3 b)10 c)4

400

This neurotransmitter is involved in reward, motivation, and motor control; loss of neurons producing it is linked to Parkinson’s disease.

Dopamine

400

A head injury leads to loss of peripheral vision in both eyes while central vision remains. Which structure is most likely compressed?

What is the optic chiasm?

500

When neither participants nor experimenters know who receives the treatment, the study is called this

What is a double-blind procedure?

500
What is false, Braca's area does control speech, language recognition and facial nerves
Braca's area does not control speech, language recognition and facial nerves. True or False
500
speech, hearing, and memory
What is the temporal lobe incontrol of
500

This neurotransmitter acts as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone, increasing arousal and alertness during the fight-or-flight response.

What is norepinephrine?

500

After walking from a bright sunny street into a dimly lit movie theater, you initially can't see well, but within a few minutes your eyes adjust and you begin to see much better. Name the process that allows this improvement, identify the photoreceptor type primarily responsible, and briefly explain the cellular mechanism involved.

What is dark (or light) adaptation; the rods (primarily rods for improved dim-light vision); and photoreceptors regenerate unbleached photopigment (rhodopsin) increasing rod sensitivity so they respond to lower light levels.
