Across
  1. 1. excitatory signal in postsynaptic neuron; makes action potential more likely
  2. 3. brain structure important for memory storage
  3. 7. portion of the nervous system that can regrow after damage
  4. 8. type of learning requiring attention, memory, ability, and motivation to copy
  5. 11. axon insulation that speeds up the action potential
  6. 14. allow brain to internally imitate others’ behaviour
  7. 16. explaining behaviour; acknowledges the context in which behaviour occurred
  8. 17. acting on a prejudice
  9. 19. formation of new neurons in the brain
  10. 21. reinforcement schedule with predictable timing
  11. 22. produces a CR with no need for the US
  12. 24. long-term love and attachment with affection
  13. 26. the likelihood of a behaviour depends on its consequences
  14. 30. helping with no expectations attached
  15. 32. type of learning in which a link is made

  17. 34. brain lobe that contains Broca’s area and the primary motor cortex
  18. 35. matching behaviour to observations of others’ behaviour

  4. 6. type of conditioning that involves an automatic response
  5. 9. part of neuron that receives signals
  6. 10. gives readings of brain activity superimposed on brain structure images
  7. 12. white matter that connects the left and right hemispheres
  8. 13. correct terminology for the meat in Pavlov’s dogs
  9. 15. all members of a team tend to come to the same conclusions
  10. 18. type of attitude that can affect behaviour without a person’s awareness
  11. 20. chemical that carries communication across the synapse
  12. 23. side of brain that controls the right body and speech
  13. 25. more likely with higher testosterone and amygdala activity
  14. 27. response to a CS declines due to lack of US
  15. 28. rest and digest
  16. 29. maintains balance and coordination
  17. 31. Cognitive ___ theory; mismatched cognitions about self
