Scientic Method
Ex. of

Back 15

Develop a hypothesis..which is a statement that describes the relationship between 2 or more variables

Front 16

Design the study and collect the data

Front 17

Analyze the data and report findings

Back 17

-statistics are used to analyze
-statistical significance..results are not very likely to have occured by chance

Neurogenesis

Back 111

The human brain has the capacity to generate new neurons through out the life of the brain.
*enriched environments, exercise, intellectual challenges
* stress & social isolation decrease neurogenesis. Ex: mice in stimulating environment and exercise

Front 112

Plasticity

Back 112

Brains ability to change function and structure throughout lifetime.
a. Structural: brains ability to physically change its structure in response to the environment and our behavior. Ex: jogging
b. Functional: brains ability to shift functions from damaged to undamaged areas. Ex: rewriting visual content

Front 113

Localization of function

Back 113

The ideas that particular areas of the brain are associated with particular functions of brain.
