The nerve fibers that connect the left and right hemispheres of the cerebral cortex • A relationship between variables in which one variable increases as the other variable increases • In a study, the participants in a group who receive treatment • Factors that are measured or controlled in a scientific study • The junction between the axon terminals of the sending neuron and the dendrites of the receiving neuron • The factor that is manipulated by the researcher to determine its effect on another variable • A nerve cell, the basic building block of the nervous system • The relationship between variables • The glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstram • Predisposition to a certain point of view • A white, fatty substance that insulates axons and enables rapid transmission of neural impulses • The area of the brain that is responsible for voluntary movement and balance • The neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including the muscles and glands • The perspective that stresses the influence of unconscious forces on human behavior • The part of the brain that is involved in attention, sleep, and arousal • A column of nerves within the spine that transmit messages to and from the brain • The large mass of forebrain, consisting of two hemispheres • The division of the peripheral nervous system that connects the central nervous system with sensory receptors, muscles, and the skin • A long tubelike structure attached to a neuron that transmits impulses away from the neuron cell body • The genetic transmission of traits from one generation to the next • The branchlike extensions of a neuron that receive impulses and conduct them toward the cell body • A group united by heritage, race, language, or common history • A survey population, selected by chance, which fairly represents the general population • A group of neural structures at the base of the cerebral hemispheres that is associated with emotion and motivation • Chemicals produced by the endocrine glands that regulate specific body functions • An in-depth study of a single person or group to reveal some universal principle • School of psychology founded by Freud….unconscious motives • School of psychology founded by Wilhelm Wundt….subjective feelings • Perspective that emphasizes the effects of experience on behavior • The basic building blocks of heredity • A representative segment of a target population • a prediction or assumption about behavior that is tested through scientific research • A set of assumptions about why something is the way it is and happens the way it does • A structure at the base of the brain stem that controls vital functions such as heartbeat and breathing • The bumpy, convoluted surface of the brain; the body’s control and information processing center • A substance or treatment with no effect apart from a person’s belief in it • Perspective that focuses on the roles of ethnicity , gender, culture … • Method of research that looks at different age groups at the same time in order to understand changes that occur during the lifespan • School of psychology founded by William James….emphasis on behavior and mental processes • Experiment using a controlled group and experimental group • A type of research in which the same people are studied over a long period of time • A research technique for acquiring data about the attitudes or behaviors of a group of people, usually by asking questions of a representative , random sample • The scientific study of behavior and mental processes • School of psychology founded by John Watson…observable events • In an experiment, the group that does not receive treatment • Areas of the cerebral cortex that are involved in such mental operations as thinking, memory, learning, and problem solving • The part of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord • The factor being measured by changing the independent variable • A microscopic threadlike structure in the nucleus of every living cell • Research that is conducted for its own sake • An unpleasant stimulus between two variables in which one variable increases ast he other decreases • The total group to be studied and where samples may be drawn • Theory that suggests that people have the ability to change their environments or to create new ones • A brain structure located at the top of the brain stem that is involved in respiration, movement, and sleep • The subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that regulates body function such as respiration and digestion • Psychological view that assumes the existence of the self and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness • A rule or law • Repeating the study to produce the same results • A chemical messenger that caries impulses across the synaptic gaps between neurons • What are the goals of psychological research. What is the order? • The neural structure located below the thalamus that controls temperature, hunger, thirst, and various aspects of emotion • Small fibers branching out from an axon • An agreement by an individual to participate in research after receiving information about the purpose if the study and the nature of the treatment • The structure of the brain that relays messages from the sense organs to the cerebral cortex • Observable and measurable actions of people and animals
