Across
  1. 4. The region of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for thought.
  2. 9. Chemicals released by neurons that cross the synapse to send messages to other neurons.
  3. 13. Following habituation, an increase in responsiveness to a new stimulus.
  4. 14. A gradual reduction in the strength of a response due to repetitive stimulation.
  5. 16. Learning by copying the behavior of another person.
Down
  1. 1. A form of learning in which a spontaneous behavior is followed by a stimulus that changes the probability that the behavior will occur again. _______________ CONDITIONING
  2. 2. The coating of neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath, called myelin, that improves the efficiency of message transfer.
  3. 3. a form of learning that involves associating a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that leads to a reflexive response. ______________CONDITIONING
  4. 5. Nerve cells that store and transmit information.
  5. 6. In operant conditioning, a stimulus that increases the occurrence of a response.
  6. 7. The gaps between neurons, across which chemical messages are sent.
  7. 8. The process of making sense of simultaneous input from more than one modality, or sensory system, perceiving these separate streams of information as an integrated whole. ____________PERCEPTION
  8. 10. A process in which neurons that are seldom stimulated lose their synapses and are returned to an uncommitted state so they can support future development.
  9. 11. type of cells that are responsible for myelination of neural fibers, which improves the efficiency of message transfer
  10. 12. In operant conditioning, removal of a desirable stimulus or presentation of an unpleasant one to decrease the occurrence of a response.
  11. 15. Specialization of functions in the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.
