Perspectives in psychology
Explores how unconscious drives, conflicts, and childhood experiences drive behavior
What is Psychodynamic?
Manipulating variables to see if it causes a change in another variable, typically in a controlled environment
What is experimental?
the outer layer of the brain, it is responsible for higher-level cognitive functions, including thinking, perceiving, and decision-making.
What is Cerebral cortex?
consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are enclosed and protected by the skull and vertebral column, serves as the control center of the body, integrating sensory information, processing signals, and coordinating responses.
What is the central nervous system?
Sleep characterized as drifting in and out of sleep lasting only a few minutes
What is NREM stage 1
Focuses on observable behaviors and the ways they're learned through interaction with the environment
What is behaviorism?
Examining the relationship between two or more variables to see if they are associated, without implying causation.
What is correlational?
small, almond-shaped structure located deep within the brain's temporal lobes, involved in processing emotions, particularly fear and aggression. It plays a central role in the brain's threat detection system, triggering the body's fight-or-flight response in response to perceived danger.
What is amygdala?
includes all the nerves and ganglia (clusters of nerve cell bodies) outside the CNS. It connects the CNS to the rest of the body and serves as a conduit for sensory input and motor output.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
Sleep characterized by the presence of predominantly Delta waves
What is NREM stage 3
What is humanistic?
A broad category that describes behavior and thought processes without manipulation.
What is descriptive?
curved structure located within the brain's temporal lobes, primarily responsible for forming and consolidating new memories.
division of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary bodily functions, It operates automatically, without conscious control.
What is the autonomic nervous system?
A stage of sleep with vivid dreams and muscle paralysis
What is REM
Examines internal mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem solving.
What is cognitive
researchers observe and record behavior in real-
world settings without intervention or
manipulation
What is Naturalistic Observation?
is a small but powerful structure located below the thalamus, responsible for regulating various essential bodily functions, including hunger, thirst, body temperature, and the sleep-wake cycle.It serves as a control center helping to maintain homeostasis in the body.
is often referred to as the "fight or flight" system because it prepares the body for rapid, vigorous action in response to stress or danger.
What is the Sympathetic nervous system?
A sleep disorder characterized by excessive day time sleepiness sudden episodes of muscle weakness, sleep paralysis, and hallucinations
What is narcolepsy?
Analyzes how culture, social norms, and social environments influence behavior.
What is Sociocultural?
An in-depth examination of a single individual, group or phenomenon.
what is case study?
located at the back of the brain, below the cerebral hemispheres, is responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and posture. It receives input from sensory systems and other parts of the brain to fine-tune motor movements and ensure smooth coordination.
What is Cerebellum?
is often called the "rest and digest" system because it promotes relaxation, digestion, and other restorative processes.
What is the Parasympathetic nervous system?
A sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breathing during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep patterns, daytime fatigue, and other health problems.
What is sleep apnea?
