Sensation & Perception 1
Receiving and representing stimulus energies by the sensory receptors and the nervous system.
Sensation
The blind-spot is located in this area of the retina.
Where the optic nerve leaves the eye.
Dogs who learn that the sound of the dog food bag rustling signals the arrival of their food illustrate this type of conditioning.
Classical Conditioning
Joseph learned that overdrawing his bank account incurred a $30 fee. This illustrates this type of operant conditioning.

Perception
The four basic sensations involved in touch.
Pain, Pressure, Warm, Cold
After a puppy sees his litter-mate receive a biscuit for jumping into the back of the pickup, the puppy quickly jumps into the back of the pickup. This best illustrates this type of learning.
Observational Learning or
Social Learning or
Cognitive Learning
Humans have the capacity to learn new behaviors that help us cope with our changing world. This is known as _______.
Adaptability
Relay station where neural impulses originating from most sensory organs travel before arriving at their ultimate destination in the cortex.
Thalamus
Transformation of stimulus energies into neural impulses.
Transduction
Sensory information coming in through this sensory organ bypasses the thalamus.
Nose
This is another name for rewarding successive approximations toward a goal.
Shaping
The violence-viewing effect is directly correlated with this exposure process.
Desensitization
Hearing certain sounds may activate color-sensitive regions of the cortex so as to trigger a sensation of color. This is one type of ________.
Synesthesia
The term used when a stimulus changes from undetectable to barely detectable.
Just Noticeable Difference
The sense most likely to bring forth the most vivid memories.
Olfaction
A child imitating their older sibling's behavior is referred to as _____.

Stimulus Generalization
Thought distraction can be used as a complementary treatment for physical injuries involving ______.
Pain
The light-sensitive inner surface of the eye that contains rods and cones.
Retina
Loud music is likely to cause damage to this type of sensory receptor cells.
Cilia or Hair Cells, located in the Cochlea
The operant conditioning method used when Angelica has to do one less chore when she completes her homework without being reminded.
Negative Reinforcement
Johnny had visited his older brother at the university campus many times before attending there himself. Johnny's unconscious memory of the location of various buildings illustrates what type of learning?
