An approach to problem solving that incorporates a "rule of thumb" or broad application of strategy

Heuristics

Theory of color perception that suggests we have three types of cone cells, each specialized for specific color wavelengths (with "theory")

Trichromatic theory

Broad set of theories of personality that argue that humans are innately good and striving to fulfill their innate capabilities

Humanistic

A stage of memory that temporarily maintains and processes a limited amount of information, such as a phone number you are storing long enough to put in your phone (two words,omit hyphen)

Short term

The disappearance of a learned behavior

Extinction

Changing the behavior because we have been ordered to do so by an authority figure

Obedience

Conclusion or inference we make about about people who are different from us based on their group membership

Stereotype

In classical conditioning, the learned response to a conditioned stimulus (two words)

Conditioned response

Visual sensory cells that work well in conditions of low levels of light

Rods

The part of the neuron responsible for receiving information from across the synapse

Dendrite

In an experiment, the explanatory variable that I control or manipulate directly

Independent

Type of memory that involves facts and learned information, such as the state capitals (with "memory")

Semantic

Any psychoactive substance that acts on the brain and other parts of the nervous system to decrease nervous system activity

Depressant

In classical conditioning, the reflexive, involuntary response to an unconditioned stimulus (two words)

The part of the brain predominantly responsible for forming new memories

Hippocampus

A type of research method that manipulates a variable of interest to uncover cause-and-effect (with "research")

An approach to problem solving that involves finding a solution through a series of attempts and eliminating those that do not work (three words)

Trial and error

The removal of an unpleasant stimulus following the targeted behavior, increasing the likelihood of it occurring again(two words)

Negative reinforcement

The perceptual phenomenon that involves paying attention only to the information we have decided is important and filtering out the rest

Selective attention

In classical conditioning, the previously neutral stimulus that an organism learns to associate with an unconditioned stimulus

Conditioned stimulus

In research study, your educated guess of the outcome

Hypothesis

The sensory memory that contains visual information (with memory)

Iconic

Learning that occurs as a result of watching the behavior of others (two word)

Observational

The spike in electrical energy that passes through the axon of a neuron in order to convey information (two words)

Conflict that involves one scenario which causes both happy reactions as well as unhappy reactions (two words)

Approach avoidance
