Topic 1: Brain
These are the two main parts of the human nervous system.
Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems
The two terms that describe visual process
These three main processes are involved in memory formation and retrieval
encoding, storage, and retrieval
This type of learning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflexive response
Baddley & Hitch came of up with this model.
Working Model of Memory
This lobe processes visual information
Occipital Lobe
These are the six sequential stages involved in the process of visual perception
reception, transduction, transmission, selection, organisation, and interpretation
This type of memory can hold around 7 items, for about 18-30 seconds
Short-term memory
In Pavlov’s experiment, what ware the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned stimulus, and the conditioned response.
UCS = food
CS = bell
CR = salviation
This is a summary of the methodology of Grant et al.
Cafeteria noise and silent conditions for learning, then split in to match & mis-matched testing conditions
This lobe is responsible for higher-order thinking and decision-making
Frontal lobe
These concepts explain why objects appear the same even when viewed from different angles or distances
Size and shape constancy
These are the 3 components of the multi-store model of memory.
Sensory, short-term, and long-term stores
This form of learning is based on the consequences of behaviour, such as rewards or punishments.
Operant conditioning
This psychologist’s findings on modelling and reinforcement led to the development of social learning theory, later influencing ideas about media influence.
Albert Bandura
Damage to these areas causes broken speech or incomprehensible expression.
Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas
These factors influencers how we perceive ambiguous images.
Perception set: motivation, emotional state, culture and past experience
These are the 3 different types of long-term memories
procedural, episodic, semantic
This researcher’s experiment with children and an inflatable doll to demonstrated the process of observational learning
Albert Bandura
This 1960 researcher found that African participants often misinterpreted depth cues in 2D drawings
Hudson
When interfered with, this neurotransmitter contributes to Alzheimers’ disease.
Acetycholine
This illusion manipulates perception using a variety of depth cues, to make humans appear larger than they are.
Ames room
These two strategies rely on repetition or meaning-making to transfer information from STM into LTM
Maintenance rehearsal and elaborating rehearsal
When the beeping stops in your car after you plug in your seat belt. This is an example of:
Negative reinforcement
These researchers expanded on Hudson’s findings, comparing pictorial perception among tribal and western participants
