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
