The two types of measures taken to analyze behavior in psychology.
What are indirect (verbal reports, brain scans) and direct measures (any behavior that can be recorded or videotaped)?
100
The difference between functional and static brain scans.
Functional= measures changes overtime (know examples of each) Static= snapshot (know examples of each)
100
Your overall level of emotional reactivity.
What is temperament? Is it genetic?
100
The term used for a fertilized egg.

Folded strings of DNA into XX's which are found in the nucleus.
What are chromosomes?
200
Correlation does not mean __________________.
What is causation?
200
The 3 parts of a neuron.
What is dendrite, soma, axon? *also note that this is the pathway of the electrical communication down a neuron*
200
The 2 main ideas discussed in chapter 3.
What is nature and nurture, phylogeny and ontogeny?
200
Name the 3 periods that occur during prenatal development.
What is germinal, embryonic, fetal? *know timelines of each and at least 1 thing that happens during each period*
200
The difference between identical twins and fraternal twins.
Identical twins = monozygotic, 1 egg into 2, should share almost 100% of the same genes. Fraternal twins = dizygotic, 2 eggs fertilized by 2 different sperm, should share 50% of the same genes.
300
The 3 most common statistical procedures used to analyze data in psychology.
What is basic probability (p value), correlations (r= + or - 1), and normal distributions?
300
The only lobe for output.
What is frontal lobe? *This means that the parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes are for sensory input*
300
The studies behavioral geneticists conduct.
What is twin studies? Why do they use identical twins?
300
Infants show a preference for ____________________.
What is human faces?
300
Gender typed behavior is related to 3 things.
What are genes, hormones, and learning?
400
The father of psychology, the father of behaviorism, and the father of evolution?
Who is W. Wundt, J. Watson, and C. Darwin?
400
The brain structure involved with expressing and detecting emotions.
What is the limbic system? *So this suggests all behavior has an emotional component*
400
The functional unit of heredity.
What are genes? *Job = code for proteins*

Describe the language development that happens during the first 3 years of life?
1 year = 1 word sentences 2 years = 2 word sentences 3 years = 3 or more word sentences
400
The structure on the neuron that is used as insulation and as a way to speed up the conductivity of the action potential.
What is myelin sheath?
500
Describe the 3 methods used in descriptive research.
What is case study, naturalistic observation, surveys & polls?
500
During neurotransmission, the _____________ take up the neurotransmitters to expell them into the ________________ so they fit into their specific receptor. Once the receptors are filled the remaining neurotransmitters go back into the presynaptic terminal which is called _____________.
What is vesicles, synaspe, reuptake?
500
Explain the differences between natural selection and artificial selection.
Natural selection: controlled by the environment. Process where adaptive traits are passed on more frequently (due to reproduction rate) because they've increased survival. Artificial selection: controlled by humans. Humans choose which traits (behavioral or physical) to become the most prevalent.
500
Name the 4 stages that happen during Piaget's model of cognitive development.
What is sensorimotor, preopertional, concrete operational, formal operational? *know that the preoperational stage can be divided into 2 parts*
500
The dendrites send their signals down to the soma where they accumulate for ________ with a strength of __________ to allow for an action potential to be generated at the ________________________.
