200
this stimulus decreases the occurance of this behavior.
What is punishment
200
This type of brain growth involves exploring your world through touch, sights, etc. and other normal ordinary experiences
What is Experience - Expectant Brain growth
200
This diet low in nutrients resembles the physical characteristics of anorexia.
What is Marasmus
200
control over smaller muscle groups
What is Fine Motor
200
gradual reduction in the strength of a response due to repetitive stimulation
What is Habituation
300
This is the response that exists automatically due to reflex in classical conditioning
What is Unconditioned Response
300
This type of brain growth builds on Experience expectant brain growth by refining established brain structures with specific learning experiences
What is Experience-Dependent Brain Growth
300
This fluid is released by the mother in breastfeeding in the first 3 days after birth and contain large amount of anitbodies for the infant.
What is colostrum
300
These specialized cells in the cerebral cortex in primates allow for Imitation.
What is mirror neurons
300
when a new stimulus is added or changed in the environment, responsiveness returns to a high level in this phenomenon.
What is Recovery
400
This stimulus causes a response prior to any learning taking place.
What is Unconditioned stimulus
400
These form connections in the brain to others of the same type to enable information to be shared quicker and more efficiently
What is neurons

What is Withdrawn or Brain Damage
500
This neutral stimulus is paired with something that will now cause a response.
What is conditioned stimulus
500

What is Synaptic Pruning.
500
This trend of development is from "near to far" or from the center out.
What is proximodistal
500
This theory means that one must master motor skills of increasingly complexity in order to develop appropriately.
What is Dynamic Systems Theory of Development
500
This response or reflex is now learned due to its pairing with a neutral stimulus.
What is Conditioned response
