School Duels
A person from this school of psychology likely said, "Our motives are influenced by unconscious urges."
Psychoanalyst
At rest, neurons hold this charge.
This lobe is responsible for auditory processing in the brain.
Temporal Lobe
This part of light waves are responsible for us seeing different colors.
Wavelength
This system, which I think sounds like a French chef, is the sensory system for taste.
Gustatory System
A person from this school of psychology may be concerned that you're not reaching your potential.
Humanism
This is the name for the process in which a neuron fires.
Action Potential
This lobe in the brain processes visual stimuli, like a gorilla running through a game of basketball.
Occipital Lobe
Located on the sides of the retina, these receptors help us see in the dark.
Rods
This sense is the only one of the five not to travel through the thalamus.
Smell
As someone from this school of psychology, I gather information about people by watching how they behave. Who cares about their unconscious!
Behaviorism
This part of a neuron receives information from other neurons.
Dendrites
All sensory information (except smell?) passes through this part of the brain.
Thalamus
This part of the eye processes the image and sends the visual information to the brain.
Retina
The ossicles are the smallest bones in your body, located here.
The middle ear
(I'll also accept "ear")
Grouping similar colored objects together can be traced back to ideas from this early school of psychology.
Gestalt
This part of the neuron is where information is transferred from one neuron to the other. Mind the gap!
Synapse
This part of the brain, responsible for feeling fear, would be very active during a scary movie.
Amygdala
I looked at a picture and saw a duck. You saw a rabbit. We might both be right if we are looking at this type of drawing.
This theory of pain helps explain why psychological factors impact pain perception.
These two schools argued whether we should care about basic elements or the purpose of those elements.
Structuralism and Functionalism
This part of the peripheral nervous system restores your heartrate to a rest after a long run.
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Our brain has a lot of flexibility, also known as this word. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Plasticity
This theory of color vision helps explain color blindness.
Trichromatic Theory
This part of the sound wavelength describes how loud or soft the sound is.
Amplitude
