indirectly study the influence of genes and environment in determining the individual differences in behavior. (Nature vs. Nurture) |
|
|
Molecular Genetics |
Directly study the structure and function of genes |
|

Brain and spinal cord |
|
|
Peripheral Nervous System |
Somatic and Autonomic nervous systems ANS includes sympathetic and parasympathetic (fight or flight) |
|
|
Brain Stem |
Hindbrain: Automatic processes Midbrain: Coordinates sensory info and movement and houses thalamus and hypothalamus Forebrain: limbic system, basal ganglia, and cerebral cortex |
|
|
Limbic System |
Involved with emotions and impulses |
|
|
Henry Gustav Molaison |
(Procedural Memory) -surgery to remove hippocampus and stop seizures caused by head injury -could not save long term memory -only able to recall LTM that happened before surgery |
|
|
Left and Right hemispheres |
Parts of the Cerebral Cortex RIGHT: Hollistic and spatial processing LEFT: Language and cognitive functioning |
|
|
Frontal Lobe |
reasoning, judgement, impulse control, motor functioning, problem solving, language, memory, sexual and social behavior |
|
|
Temporal Lobe |
understanding auditory and verbal information, labeling of objects, verbal memory |
|
|
Parietal Lobe |
Integrates sensory information from various sources, involved with visuospatial processing |
|
|
Occipital Lobe |
Center of visual processing |
|
|
Correlation Coefficient |
Indicates the degree of relationship between two variables. Positive if both variables increase or decrease together. Negative if they do so separately. |
|
|
Randomized Control Trial |
A study in which people are chosen at random to receive one of several clinical interventions. |
|
|
Cross-Sectional Study |
A design in which participants are assessed ONCE for the specific variable under investigation. |
|
|
Longitudonal Study |
A design in which participants are assessed at least two times and often more over a certain time interval |
|
|
Epidemiology |
Disease factors and the factors that influence those patterns |
|
|
Case Study |
Comprehensive description of an individual or group that focuses on the assessment or description of abnormal behavior or its treatment. |
|
|
Single-Case Design |
A design in which experimental studies are conducted with a single individual. |
|
|
Prevalance |
New cases and past cases with still-surviving patients |
|
|
Incidence |
Number of new cases that have surfaced within a certain amount of time |
|
|
Clinical Significance |
Do significant findings have clinical or practical value? (effect size) |
|
|
Statistical Significance |
mathematical probability that after treatment, change that occurred in treatment was not due to chance |
