Exam 3 Psyc 206

Front 1

memory based learning

Back 1

young male songbirds memorize adult song so they can reproduce it later in the second phase of song learning (sensorimotor)

Front 2

formant

Back 2

instensified frequency bands in the spectrum of a voiced sound

Front 3

voice onset time

Back 3

for a consonant-vowel combination like b/a/ or p/a/ the time between letters (spoken), determines which consonant sound is perceived

Front 4

vowel triangle

Back 4

the "a" (in cot), "i" (in eet), and "u" (in zoo) form 3 points of the edges of a triangle which bound all the vowel sounds we can comfortably produce

Front 5

categorical perception

Back 5

we perceive a distinct phonetic boundary between b/a/ and p/a/ based on voice onset time

Front 6

cross model speech perception

Back 6

facial gestures associated with speech sounds (we lip read)

Front 7

space occupying lesions

Back 7

contents of cranium increase because of an abnormality like a tumor, compresses normal brain tissue

Front 8

transient ischemic attack

Back 8

reversible stroke cause by occlusion of a small blood vessel by a clot broken off from a larger vessel

Front 9

meningitis

Back 9

inflammation of the meninges (bacterial and viral)

Front 10

bacterial meningitis

Back 10

disease of pia and arachnoid membranes, CSF protein elevated

Front 11

viral meningitis

Back 11

more benign, normal glucose but still elevated CSF, usually caused by enteroviruses

Front 12

neoplastic disease

Back 12

neoplasms are tumors, mostly gliomas in adults and medulloblastomas in children

Front 13

toxic-metabolic disease

Back 13

disorders cause by biochemical disruption of neural functioning (example- poisons)

Front 14

inflammatory disease

Back 14

caused by an abnormally high immune response, disrupt normal neural functioning

Front 15

hydrocephalus

Back 15

elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure due to overproduction, blockage in ventricular system of failure to reabsorb CSF into dural sinus

Front 16

multiple sclerosis

Back 16

autoimmune demyelinating disease in which oligodendrocytes are attacked by the individuals immune system

Front 17

arbovirus

Back 17

carried by arthropods, esp mosquitoes (west nile, etc.)

Front 18

neurotropic virus

Back 18

enters nervous system directly (like rabies)

Front 19

Field L

Back 19

primary auditory area of avian telecephalon

Front 20

talker normalization

Back 20

adults categorize vowel sounds accurately after hearing speaker's ouput
