Who is Herman Von Helmholtz?

What is Verbal Behavior by B.F Skinner?

How action potentials travel from one end to another in a neuron.
What is Propagation?

Responsible for receiving signals from the touch system and is also important for vision and attention.
What is the parietal lobe?
300
This is a bundle of about 1 million nerve fibers (in the human) that leaves the back of the eye. These fibers carry signals that were generated and processed in the retina.

Inspired psychologists to think of the mind in terms of information processing during the cognitive revolution
What is the digital computer?
500
Neurons which fire in response to specific visual stimuli.
What are feature detectors?
500
This component of the brain is responsible for higher memory functions such as perception, memory, language, thinking, and problem solving.
What is the cerebral cortex?
500
This mechanism causes neurons to develop so they respond best to the types of stimulation to which a person or animal has been exposed.
