Nervous System
The ability of the synapse to change in response to experience
What is synaptic plasticity?
A stimulus that produces stress
What is a stressor?
The three phases are before, during and after conditioning.
What is classical conditioning?
5-9
What is capacity of STM?
A testable prediction of the relationship between two or more variables
What is the hypothesis?
The space between the pre synaptic and post synaptic neuron
When there is a match or ‘good fit’ between the coping strategy that is used and the stressful situation.
What is context-specific effectiveness?
A bobo doll was used in the experiment to demonstrate this type of learning.
What is observational learning?
A neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the gradual widespread degeneration of brain neurons.
What is Alzheimers Disease?
Group exposed to the IV
What is the experimental group?
An unconscious, automatic response controlled solely by neural circuits in the spinal cord
What is the spinal reflex?
Comprises a brief alarm reaction stage (with shock and counter shock), a prolonged stage of resistance and a final stage of exhaustion.
What is the general adaptation syndrome?
Depending on their physical capabilities, learner converts the mental representation into action.
What is reproduction?
Memory without awareness
What is implicit memory?
What is validity?
Nervous system which is embedded within the walls of the gastrointestinal tract and is dedicated to its functioning.
What is the enteric nervous system?
A bidirectional (‘two- way’), multi-faceted communication link between the central and enteric nervous systems
What is the gut brain axis?
In classical conditioning they are passive, in operant conditioning they are active
What is the role of the learner?
Has a role in long-term implicit memories involving motor skills.
What is the basal ganglia?
Example of a within subjects research design
What is repeated-measures?
Although primarily an excitatory neurotransmitter, it can have either an excitatory effect at one location or an inhibitory effect at another, depending on the type of receptors that are present.
What is dopamine?
The model which distinguishes between two different types of cognitive appraisal of an event.
What is the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping?
When you take away a consequence to increase behaviour
What are mnemonics?
A judgement about the meaningfulness of the research results.
What is a conclusion?
