What is used to send messages through the brain
Neurons
endorphin
who is considered the father of psychology and also a huge fan of cocaine

What is the believe behind learning theory
Learning: a relatively permanent change in behavior brought
about by experience.
It’s not always easy to identify whether a change in behavior is due to nature or nurture.
the deepest stage of sleep, during which we are least responsive to outside stimulation.
stage 3
An axon is
is a long fiber that sends messages outgoing messages from the cell
"you stand in line just hit a new low you're faking a smile with coffee to go you tell my life been way off like your falling to pieces every time"

The process of teaching a complex behavior by reinforcing closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior is called
shaping
What stage is this
•Characterized by a slower, more regular wave pattern.
•Includes momentary interruptions of “sleep spindles.”
stage 2
what covers the axon so that it can successfully carry the messages
its is a fatty protein that protect the axon so that the messages can be carried out, swiftly and it is the strongest part of the neuron.
I love sky diving I love that "rush man"
what NT would give them that rush
Norepinephrine epinephrine, or adrenaline all acceptable answers
what is the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist
psychiatrist can prescribe medication and have to go to med school
difference between stimulation generalization and stimulation discrimination
Stimulus generalization: a process in which after a stimulus
has been conditioned to produce a particular response,
stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus produce the
same response.
• The greater the similarity between two stimuli, the greater the
likelihood of stimulus generalization.
Stimulus discrimination: the process that occurs if two
stimuli are sufficiently distinct from one another.
• One evokes a conditioned response, but the other does not.
• Stimulus discrimination provides the ability to differentiate
between stimuli
What stage is this: the state of transition between wakefulness and sleep.
•Characterized by relatively rapid, low-amplitude brain waves.
stage 1
what is the blood brain barrier and give an example of how it works
protects the brain from dangerous or foreign substances from entering
example antibiotics cant past through because the brain identifies them as a foreign object, but psychotropic medication can past through because it mimics Neurotransmitters that are already in the brain.
Man my heart doesn't seem to be beating right what NT might not be functioning correctly
acetylcholine
true or false can we use MRI technology to identify areas of your brain that are not working correctly
true
difference between
Neutral stimuli
unconditional stimulus
conditional stimulus
Neutral stimulus: a stimulus that, before conditioning, does
not naturally bring about the response of interest.
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS): naturally brings about a
particular response without having been learned.
Unconditioned response (UCR): is natural and needs no
training.
name three sleep disorders, cause and effect
Night terrors: sudden awakenings from non-REM sleep accompanied by extreme fear, panic, and strong physiological arousal.
Narcolepsy: uncontrollable sleeping for short periods while a person is awake.
Sleeptalking and sleepwalking are usually harmless.
•Occur during stage 3 sleep.
•More common in children.

As a child, Tim loved salami sandwiches but was not particularly fond of dill pickles. However, his mother would always serve the pickles with salami sandwiches. Now, the sight of even an empty dill pickle jar makes his mouth water. In the context of classical conditioning, the pickle jar is a(n)________ and salami is a(n)________.
unconditioned stimulus; conditioned stimulus
Meditation what is and what is it good for?
Meditation: a learned technique for refocusing attention that brings about an altered state of consciousness.
•Typically consists of the repetition of a mantra—a sound, word, or syllable.
Long-term practice improves health because of the biological changes it produces:
•Decreased oxygen usage.
•Reduced heart rate and blood pressure.
Change in brain-wave patterns
