- 13. an integrated approach that incorporates biological, psychological, and social-cultural viewpoints
- 15. thinking that does not blindly accept arguments and conclusions; examines assumptions, appraises the source, discerns hidden biases, evaluates evidence, and assesses conclusions
- 18. pure science that aims to increase the scientific knowledge base
- 20. enclosed memory after retrieving, rather than simply rereading, information
- 25. the enduring behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, and traditions shared by a group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next
- 28. the scientific study of how we think about, influence, and relate to one another
- 29. the science of behavior and mental processes
- 30. a branch of psychology that studies, assesses, and treats people with psychological disorders
- 32. a historically significant perspective that emphasized human growth potential
- 33. the scientific study of the links between biological (genetic, neural, hormonal) and psychological processes
- 34. the process of looking inward in an attempt to directly observe one's own psychological process
- 35. a branch of psychology that studies how unconscious drives and conflicts influence behavior and uses that information to treat people with psychological disorders
Down

- 12. the study of how situations and cultures affect our behavior and thinking
- 14. the study of mental processes, such as occur when we perceive, learn, remember, think, communicate, and solve problems
- 16. the scientific study of observable behavior and its explanation by principles of learning
- 17. the study of the evolution of behavior and the mind, using principles of natural selection
- 19. the study of how psychological processes affect and can enhance teaching and learning

- 26. the study of the relative power and limits of genetic and environmental influences on behavior
- 27. the principle that inherited traits that better enable an organism to survive and reproduce in a particular environment will (in competition with other trait variations) most likely be passed on to succeeding generations
- 31. the idea that knowledge comes from experience, and that observation and experimentation enable scientific knowledge
