Three Ways of Doing Psychology
ANSWER:
1. Experimental
2. Teachers
3. Applied
Two parts of the Peripheral Nervous System
ANSWER:
1. The Somatic Division of PNS
- Somatic nervous system: Organ System
- carries signals that regulate the internal organs that preform functions such as
digestion, heart rate and reparation.
- Afferent Sensory System: Motor System
-sends messages to the brain and efferent sends messages to the muscles to act
on them.
2. The Autonomic Division of PNS
(carries signals that regulate internal organs)
- Sympathetic division
- "fight or flight" system, arouses the heart, lungs and other organs in stressful
situations.
- Parasympathetic division
- returns body to its calm state
Critical Thinking
ANSWER:
,1. What is the source?
2. Is the claim reasonable?
3. What is the evidence?
4. Could bias contaminate the conclusion?
-emotional bias
-conformational bias
5. Does the reasoning avoid common fallacies (common sense)?
6. Does the issue require multiple perspectives?
Six main viewpoints of Modern Psychology
ANSWER:
1. Biological
2. Cognitive
3. Behavioral
4. Whole-person
5. Developmental
6. Sociocultural perspectives
Empirical Investigation
ANSWER:
Research conducted, and conclusions reached, by means of observation and
documentation.
Theory
ANSWER:
Testable explanations for a broad set of facts or observations.
Four Steps to the Scientific Method
ANSWER:
1. Develop a Hypothesis.
2. Collect Objective Data.
3. Analyze the Results. Accept or Reject the Hypothesis.
4. Publish, Criticize or Replicate the Results.
Five Types of Psychological Research
ANSWER:
,1. Experiments
- variable
2. Correlational Studies
- determine the nature of the relationship between variable but cannot
determine the cause and effect.
- "natural experiments" have already occurred by chance in the real world
3. Survey
- determine peoples attitudes, preferences or other characteristics.
- vulnerable to bias
4. Naturalistic Observations
- Descriptive research technique in which the researcher assesses the behavior
of subjects under studying their natural condition
5. Case Studies
- Few individuals.
- Focus on individuals with rare problems or unusual talents.
Three Types of Correlations
ANSWER:
1. Positive correlation
2. Negative correlation
3. Zero correlation
Types of Neyrons
ANSWER:
1. Sensory or afferent neurons
- Carry messages towards the brain.
2. Interneurons
- Carry messages between nerve cells (inside brain).
- Carry messages between afferent and efferent.
3. Motor or efferent neurons
- Carry messages away from brain.
Central Nervous System (CNS)
ANSWER:
Composed of the brain and spinal chord.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
ANSWER:
, Connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body. It consists of two
divisions. Each has two subdivisions.
Two parts of the Peripheral Nervous System
ANSWER:
1. The Somatic Division of PNS
- Somatic nervous system: Organ System
- carries signals that regulate the internal organs that preform functions such as
digestion, heart rate and reparation.
- Afferent Sensory System: Motor System
-sends messages to the brain and efferent sends messages to the muscles to act

(carries signals that regulate internal organs)
- Sympathetic division
- "fight or flight" system, arouses the heart, lungs and other organs in stressful
situations.
- Parasympathetic division
- returns body to its calm state
The Cerebral Cortex
ANSWER:
- Two cerebral hemispheres are connected by fibers (corpus callosum)
- Cerebrum accounts for 2/3 the brain's total mass.
- Cerebral cortex is wrinkled to allow billions of cells to squeeze into the tight
space inside the skull.
Sensation and Perception
ANSWER:
1. Information
(stimuli)
2. Sensation
(raw data is processed by sensory receptors)
3. Perception
(sensations are processed in the brain and assigned meaning)
