Across
- 2. Intelligence, a person's general knowledge vocabulary and reasoning based on acquired information
- 4. Position Effect, tendency to remember the beginning (primacy effect) and the end (recency effect) of the list best
- 7. Effect, the more people around the less likely we are to help someone in need
- 10. Prison Experiment, Classic “experiment” where individuals were assigned to be guards / prisoners. Within days they took on their roles and went too far. Highly unethical
- 12. Potential, movement of Na and K ions across membrane sends an electrical charge down the axon
- 13. Theory, three cones for receiving color (blue, red, green). Explains color blindness - they are missing a cone type
- 15. Phenomenon, tendency for people to believe that the world is just and therefore ppl get what they deserve
- 20. Loafing, tendency for people in a group to exert less effort when pooling their effort together
- 21. free will + choice + ideal + actualization
- 22. learned, reinforced approach
- 25. Heuristic, make inferences based on your experience (like a stereotype)
- 28. Theory, we explain others behaviors by crediting the situation or the person’s disposition
- 29. Adding or taking away something in order to DECREASE the likelihood of a behavior
- 30. getting information into the memory
Down
- 1. Chemicals released in synaptic gap, received by neurons
- 3. of Effect, Behaviors followed by positive outcomes are strengthened and negative outcomes weaken a behavior
- 5. used introspection (act of looking inward to examine mental experience) to determine the underlying structures of the mind
- 6. Process Theory, complementary colors are processed in ganglion cells – explains why we see an after image
- 8. System, sends hormones throughout the body
- 9. societal and cultural influence on behavior
- 11. Nervous System, Brain and Spinal Cord
- 14. need to analyze the purpose of behavior
- 16. Conditioning, a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.
- 17. Threshold, detection of signal 50% of time
- 18. Processing Model, Sensory memory, short term memory, long term memory mode
- 19. Psychology, Whole is greater than the sum of its parts
- 23. Conditioning, a type of associative learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment
- 24. Basic cell of the nervous system
- 26. Adaptation, diminished sensitivity as a result of constant stimulation
- 27. Adding or taking away something in order to INCREASE the likelihood of a behavior
