Reproductive behaviors
This gene triggers gonads to develop into testes, leading to male-typical development
What is the SRY gene?
Sharon feels sad walking past the restaurant where she got broken up. Identify the US, UR, CS, and Cr.
What is US = romantic rejection, UR = sadness CS = restaurant CR= sadness?
This form of implicit memory involves learning motor skills and habits, such as riding a bike
What is procedural memory?
This type of aphasia is characterized by difficulty producing speech, even though language comprehension remains largely intact.
What is Broca's aphasia?
This neurotransmitter is crucial for "wanting" and motivation to seek out substances, and is released in the nucleus accumbens during drug use.
What is dopamine?
These long-lasting effects occur during sensitive developmental periods like prenatal genital differentiation.
What are organizing effects?
Lashley’s search for the engram was unsuccessful because he focused on making cuts in this brain region, which may not have been critical for classical conditioning.
What is the cortex?
This type of memory requires conscious and deliberate recall, also known as “knowing what”
What is explicit (declarative) memory?
A person with this condition may speak fluently but use incorrect or nonsensical words, and they typically have poor language comprehension.
What is Wernicke's aphasia?
This drug is used as a treatment for alcohol addiction by making the user feel unwell when consuming alcohol, mimicking the effects of a genetic variant that inhibits alcohol metabolism.
What is Antabuse?
This chromosomal variation (XO) results in underdeveloped ovaries and infertility, but female-typical external genitalia.
What is Turner syndrome?
This disorder includes symptoms of declarative memory (explicit) problems, confusion, depression, and delusions, marked by progressive atrophy
What is Alzheimer's disease?
This explicit memory involves recalling factual information, such as knowing the states and capitals, without any autobiographical context.
What is semantic memory?
This phenomenon demonstrates how visual cues, like lip movements, can influence our perception of speech sounds, even when the auditory stimulus is different.
What is the McGurk effect?
In individuals with schizophrenia, this neurotransmitter's overactivity in the basal ganglia is linked to increased dopamine receptor binding, which contributes to symptoms.
What is dopamine?
Research suggests concordance rates for homosexuality are higher among these types of twins, supporting a genetic component to sexual orientation
What are monozygotic twins?
Damage to this brain structure, which is key for implicit memory, impairs gradual improvement on tasks that involve the development of habits and skills.
What is the striatum?
This type of memory involves personal experiences and events that occurred at a particular time and place, with an autobiographical context.
What is episodic memory?
This auditory illusion, which involves perceiving a pattern of high and low tones differently depending on one's language background, shows the influence of experience on speech perception.
What is the Tritone paradox?
This serotonin reuptake gene variant is associated with stronger reactions to stressful events, increasing susceptibility to depression.
What is the short form of the serotonin reuptake gene?
This condition occurs when chromosomally male individuals cannot respond to testosterone, leading to incomplete development of male internal structures and a female phenotype.
What is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS)?
This brain structure is crucial for explicit (declarative) memory and is involved in tasks such as the delayed nonmatching-to-sample task, where an animal must choose what it did not see.
What is the hippocampus?
This type of implicit memory enhances the ability to think of a stimulus as a result of recent experience or exposure, such as being more likely to unscramble the word "plate" after seeing "petal."
What is priming?
The time when children have a distinct advantage in mastering grammar and pronunciation, making it harder for adults to fully learn a second language if not exposed early.
What is the sensitive period for language development?
This developmental pattern in ASD involves rapid brain growth early in life, followed by reduced connectivity and development during adolescence and adulthood.
What is overgrowth followed by underdevelopment?
