A logical rule/procedure that guarantees solving a problem by attempting all possible solutions until a correct one is found
What is an Algorithm
Loss of past memories
What is Retrograde Amnesia
Anything that can cause a change in the dependent variable that is not the independent variable
What is a Confounding Variable
Sensory & motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body
What is the Peripheral Nervous System
The theory that cones can only see three colors and these colors can make millions of combinations to create different colors
What is the Trichromatic Theory
When the condition response/behavior is lost
What is Extinction
New neural connection made while brain is in a specific chemical state
What Is State-Dependent Memory
The tendency to believe, after the outcome was revealed, that you knew the answer all along
What is Hindsight Bias
The part of the neuron that receives messages from other neurons
What are Dendrites
The theory that cones come in pairs which are red/green, yellow/blue, and black/white. This theory also supports afterimages

What are Interneurons
The inability to remember faces
What is Prosopagnosia
Behavior that is rewarded is more likely to occur
What is the Law of Effect
Remembering to do something in the future
What is Prospective Memory
Cannot see which variable is influencing the other
What is a Directionality Problem
Recovery period after neuron fires
Explain the process step by step of how light enters the eye and is processed
1. Light enters the eye through the cornea
2. Light goes through the pupil whose size is regulated by the iris
3. Lens behind the pupil focuses the light rays onto the retina
4. Optic nerve then receives signal and transmits it to the brain
The tendency of some trained animals to revert back to instinctual behaviors.
What is Instinctive Drift.
