Who are Behaviorists?
Sticking with your most familiar way of solving a problem is an example of this. Your previous knowledge influences the way you interpret and perceive things.
What is a mental/mind set?
The process by which our senses and nervous system receive information from the environment.
What is sensation?
The semicircle canals of the ear, which are right above the choclea, contribute to this physical mishap.
What is loss of balance?
These are. the two main nervous systems within our bodies.
What are the Central NS and Peripheral NS?
When this model is applied to mental health, it demonstrates the importance of maintaining wellness in all aspects of our lives- our physical, mental, and socio-environmental factors are all taken into consideration.
What is Biopsychosocial theory?
This type of reasoning takes you from the specific to the general.
What is inductive reasoning?
This type of processing has to do with new information coming in. It starts with the sensory receptors and works to higher levels of processing.
What is bottom up processing?
When the optic nerve is leaving the eye, there are no light sensitive cells to detect light rays. Therefore, this happens.
What is the blind spot?
These are the two parts of the Peripheral NS.
What are the Autonomic (organs and glands) and Somatic (skeletal muscles).
These are the goals of studying behavior in psychology.
What are describe, explain, predict, control, and improve?
A descriptive technique in which one individual or group is studied in depth with the hope of revealing universal principles.
What is a case study?
This is a process by which synaptic connections between neurons become stronger with frequent activation. This is a way in which the brain changes in response to experience, and thus may be a mechanism underlying learning and memory.
What is long-term potentiation?
These are clusters in and around the fovea of the eye and are the central focus area of the retina. White and color are detected by them.
What are cones?
These are the two parts of the Autonomic system within the Peripheral NS.
What are the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions?
In the late 1800s, this person was instrumental in changing the care that mental health patients received in hospitals.
Who was Dorthea Dix?
This is the process of converting sensory stimulus energy into an action potential.
What is transduction?
What is signal detection theory?
This is the process whereby the eye is able to change the point of focus from a distant object to a near object. This happens in the lens.
What is accommodation?
What is the sympathetic division of the Autonomic NS?
These psychologists study and assess individual, group, and organizational dynamics in the workplace.
What is industrial-organizational psychology?
This type of drug is prescribed to treat pain and is commonly abused world wide.
What is an opiate/opioid?
Gustatory receptors allow us to taste. The tastes we can detect are...
1. Savory 4. Sour
2. Sweet 5. Bitter
3. Salt
This type of scan can reveal damage to the inner ear, a growth pressing on the choclear nerve, or a buildup of fluid or inflammation in the inner ear.
What is an MRI?
Sensory input and motor output are part of this system with the NS,
What is the Somatic system (skeletal muscles), within the Peripheral NS.
