Across
- 4. The way a problem is presented. Its presentation can affect how people view the problem and thus potentially affect decisions regarding the problem.
- 6. Came up with the concept of a mental age and created a standardized test as well to measure intelligence.
- 7. Neural impulse.
- 10. People have removed this in the case of severe epileptic seizures.
- 11. Thinking that gradually limits the number of possible solutions until the best solution is found.
- 12. Part of brain that directs muscle movements in order to enable speech.
- 13. Creator of the nativist theory of language acquisition.
- 15. Biomedical therapy treated on very depressed people. An electric current is sent through their brain.
- 16. In classical conditioning, the conditioning response wanes. In operant conditioning, the response is no longer reinforced.
- 17. Why the news is so polarized. we only look for information that corresponds with our beliefs and not for any information that would contradict us.
- 20. Theory that some of our motivated behaviors leads to an increase in arousal.
- 24. Creative thinkers think like this.
- 28. Stage in Piaget's theory when people begin to be able to think about thoughts in a logical manner (starts at like age 12).
- 29. A psychodynamic theorist that focused on the role of the ego and not so much the role of the unconscious. He also thought people were motivated by inferiority and superiority.
- 30. An example of this is retinal disparity.
- 32. Dream theory that states that neural activity during sleep causes random visual memories to arise. Our brain makes these into stories.
- 34. New information updates our existing schemas.
- 35. A neo-Freudian who created the psychosocial stage theory.
- 36. When something gets closer to us, our eyes have to move toward each other to keep it focused. it helps us understand how close objects are to us.
- 37. Jung said this was a part of the collective unconscious, and these were the universal concepts we all share as humans.
- 39. Cultural rules on when/how to express emotions. Therefore, these expressions are not universal to all cultures.
- 42. The stage in Piaget's theory when children gain the ability to think about concrete events logically (from 7-11 years).
- 43. Neuron unable to be excited to generate another action potential (doesn’t matter how intense the stimulus is).
- 44. 2 stimuli become linked in this type of learning and Pavlov's dog is an example of this.
- 45. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism.
- 46. An example of using this is choosing to take the train after witnessing an airplane crash.
- 47. Takes info and connects it to things we already know.
- 48. Also known as just noticeable difference.
- 49. Effect where over time, intelligence scores increase over generations.
Down
- 1. It is a monocular cue where faraway objects tend to look blurred.
- 2. Minumum Stimulation needed to detect a sense half of the time.
- 3. Discovered that many facial expressions of emotion were universal (easily read by people from different cultures) (especially anger).
- 5. Research/study that tries to solve practical problems.
- 8. In Pavlov's dog, an example of this is the dog salivating.
- 9. The limit set by George Miller and the magic number 7 can be expanded through this.
- 11. Depends on one's span and the recency effect. the magic number 7 shows how much it is.
- 14. These are also known as motor neurons. They bring info from brain and spinal cord to glands and muscles.
- 18. Its two divisions include the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and it is a part of the peripheral nervous system.
- 19. Optimal period in life where exposure to certain experiences will enable normal development production.
- 21. When you need to feel a part of a group. This is why we have FOMO.
- 22. A defense mechanism where bad feelings are taken out on not the original source, but a less scary person/object. That is why they say you hurt the ones you love the most.
- 23. This follows the reality principle and is partially unconscious and partially conscious. Some say it is the mediator.
- 25. Ability to adjust to changes/experiences. Helps us grow and develop.
- 26. When a physiological need becomes more prominent, our psychological drive to reduce the need also becomes more prominent.
- 27. Visual perception phenomenon when a small light seems to move in a dark environment.
- 31. Creator of the social learning theory (modeling) and of reciprocal determinism and self-efficacy.
- 33. Guarantee a solution by trying every possible way of answering a problem.
- 38. When we are motivated to perform a certain behavior to attain promised rewards.
- 40. Learning and understanding in terms of our existing schemas.
- 41. A part of the neural impulse when the charge difference is lost, which allows the axon channels to open. This leads to action potential.
