Research Methods
A case study is an example of this research method.
What is descriptive?
This part of the nervous system contains the brain and spinal chord.
What is the central nervous system?
This is the part of the neuron that catches the signal.
What are dendrites?
This system of the brain is known as the center for emotions.
What is the limbic system?
This is a debate in the scientific community involving the significance of genetics and environmental factors.
What is nature vs nurture?
This research method involves variable manipulation and a control group.
What is experimental?
This part of the nervous system contains all outside nerves.
What is the peripheral nervous system
This is the protective layer over the axon that speeds up the firing process as it develops.
What is myelin?
This is the word for our brains ability to change.
What is plasticity?
This is the first stage of prenatal development.
What is zygote?
This does not show a causal relationship, just a connection.
What is correlation?
This subdivision of the autonomic nervous is responsible for the fight or flight response.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
This is the process of unused neural pathways becoming inactive.
What is synaptic pruning?
This part of the limbic system is in charge of the 5 f's.
What is the Hypothalamus?
This is something that harms prenatal development.
What is a teratogen?
We use random selection to try to combat the impacts of this variable.
What is confounding?
This is typically the resting potential charge.
What is -70?
We often refer to this part of the limbic system as the lizard brain.
What is the amygdala?
This theorist created the stages of cognitive development
Who is Jean Piaget?
This is needed from participants if pain or deception is to be involved in a study.
This subdivision of the peripheral nervous system is in charge of purposeful movement.
What is the somatic nervous system?
A charge of this is needed for a cell to fire.
What is -50?
What is cross wiring
This is the last stage of prenatal development.
What is a fetus?
