Overall notion that person participating in psychological research should be no worse off coming out of the study than on the way in
What is Ethic guidelines?
100
1) sensory nerves; information to brain and spinal cord
2) motor nerves; information from brain and spinal cord
3) nerve cells integrate sensory/motor output; make up most of the brain
What is 1) afferent nerves, 2) efferent nerves, 3)neural networks
100
treelike fibers projecting from a neuron, receive info and orient it toward neurons cell body
What participation will involve / what risks might develop
What is informed consent?
200
Divisions of the nervous system
1)brain/spinal cord --> 99% nerves located here
2)connects brain/spinal cord to other parts of the body; brings info to and from brain/spinal cord and to carry out commands of brain/spinal cord
What is 1) CNS 2)PNS ?
200
part of the neuron that carries info away from cell body toward other cells
What is an axon?
200
circumstances or events that threaten individuals and tax their coping abilities
What are stressors?
200
connects afferent and efferent nerves "middle man" which communicates with other neurons
What is an interneuron?
300
researchers are responsible for keeping all data they gather on individuals completely secret or anonymous
What is confidentiality?
300
Divisions of the PNS
1) sensory-pain and temperature; motor- tell muscles what to do
2) transfer info to/from body's organs, monitor breathing, heart rate, etc.
What is 1) somatic nervous system, 2) autonomic nervous system?
300
1) tiny spaces between neurons
2) gaps between neurons
What is 1) synapse, 2) synaptic cleft?
300
momentary stress that occurs in response to life experience
What is acute stress?
300
blocks a neurotransmitter's effect --> antipsychotics (dopamine)
What are antagonists?
400
after the study has been completed, the researchers should inform the participants of its purpose and the methods they used
What is Debriefing?
400
Divisions of the ANS
1) calms body
2) arouses body in response to stress
What is 1) parasympathetic, 2) sympathetic?
400
organ/cell that responds to external stimuli and transmits signals to sensory nerve
What is a receptor?
400
stress that goes on continuously
What is chronic stress?
400
nerves that conduct impulses toward brain/spinal cord for process?
What are sensory nerves?
500
telling the participants beforehand what the research study is about substantially alters the participants behavior and invalidates the researchers data
What is deception?
500
the four characteristics of the nervous system
What are complexity, integration, adaptability and electrochemical transmission
500
Chemical substances that are stored in very tiny sacs within the terminal buttons and involved in transmitting info across synaptic cleft to next neuron
What is neurotransmitter?
500
powerful stress hormones that allow us to focus our attention on what needs to be done now
What are corticosteroids?
500
nerves that conduct impulses outward toward muscles/tissues/organs to produce movement
