Begins with sensory receptors and works to the brain integration system to develop a perception. 

What is bottom-up processing?

100

Inner ear snail shaped which houses the stereo cilia (cilias) and their roots which form the nerve receptors.

What is the cochlea?

100

The light waves, or sound waves from an external stimuli which are received by its respective nerve receptors is called this. All that wording for common "sense" stuff.

What is sensation? 

100

Sending neural impulses to and from the brain between sensation of external stimuli to its interpretation is called this. Think of it as neurons (nerve cells) talking to each other using neurotransmitters. 

What is action potential?

100

An explanation using integrated set of principles that organizes observations and predicts behaviors or events. 

What is theory? 

100
Research method in psychology utilizing a control group, including  random assignment in a lab setting with a changing variable is this method of scientific inquiry. 

What is an experiment?

200

Drawing from experience and expectations and guided by higher level mental processes to construct perceptions.

What is top-down processing?

200
The 3 boney parts attached to the tympanic membrane. 
What are the hammer (malleus), anvil (Incus), Stirrup (Stapes)?
200

Any one of the two types of hearing impairments. 

1. (outer or middle ear malfunctions) sounds do not make it to the cochlea. 

2. (Inner ear) inherited disease or damage of cochlea is not sending signals to brain. 

What is conduction and neurological deafness?

200

These chemical messengers: acetylcholine, epinephrine, Dopamine, norepinephren, Endorphins, GABA, Glutamate, serotonin etc. are released and absorbed through a neural networks in your brain and body. 

What are neurotransmitters?

200

Which types of studies could reveal whether genetic or inherited factors that shape behaviors patterns and cognitive processes. Monozygotic and dizygotic.

What are twin studies?

200

The most occurring score or number in data.

What is the mode?

300

The process of converting outside energy into a form our brain can use. Physical energy (sights, sound, smell) into a neural impulse our brain interprets.

What is transduction? 

300
The part of the outer ear which funnel sound waves through a narrow corridor after the pinna.

What is the ear canal (external acoustic meatus)?

300

The sensory switchboard located between the brain stem and cerebral hemispheres. Receives all senses except olfactory.

What is the thalamus?

300

The time period in neural firing during which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed into the presynaptic neuron and out of the synaptic gap. Regulates the intensity of signals. 

What is reuptake?

300

Color processing works between red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white work on oppositional channels according to this theory. Helps explains perception of after images and the different colors.

What is opponent processing theory?

300

The number in the middle of a dataset.

What is the median?

400

The brain's interpretation and organization of these senses: (olfactory, auditory, visual, somatosensation, gustation). Partly based on ones own expectations, experience, and emotions

What are perceptions? 

400

Explain high pitch sounds, this auditory theory suggests pitch is determined by the location the sound waves enter the oval opening of the organ of corti.

What is place theory (spatial coding)?

400

The lobe associated with audition. Located closest to the ear.

What is the temporal lobe?

400

Young-Helmholtz Theory suggest 3 cones sensitive to  different wavelengths of light determine the sensing of blue, green, red. 

What is trichromatic theory?

400

A study which utilizes a random sample of teachers (names drawn from a hat) to determine whether earlier lunch times correlated with increased proficiency. Primary methods used: surveys, interviews and observations.

What is correlational studies?

500

This pitch theory says the rate or number of times the cilia are stimulated determine sound you hear.

What is frequency theory (temporal coding)?

500

A type of study which examines an individual or a specific group in depth with the hopes of revealing universal principles. 

What is a case study?
