because sort term can only hold it in for a couple of seconds
semantic memory- facts and knowledge
episodic memory- long term memory for personally experienced events
,Based on the passage, participation in which study is most likely to be
associated with a decrease in hippocampal volume in rats? - correct
answer-Studies on animals have shown that chronic increases in stress-
related hormones are associated with reduced dendritic spines,
decreased long-term potentiation, and reduced neurogenesis in the
hippocampus. Studies on humans show that people who have
experienced posttraumatic stress disorder have reduced hippocampal
volume.
avoidance learning- occurs when an individual eresponse to prevent the
presentations of an anversive stimulus and and learned helpeless is a
behavioral and physiologucal state that occurs as a result of exposure to
uncontrollable aversive consequences
avoidance- before the stress even happens you avoid it
The morphological changes associated with elevated stress or exercise
are examples of: - correct answer-Maturation- expected development
associated with the gradual unfolding of one's genetic blueprint
neural transmission- communication between neurons
Which process most likely accounts for the effect of the peer group's
response, described in paragraph 4, on a teenager's drug
experimentation? - correct answer-Normative- individuals acting in
ways that comply with the norms of their social groups

researcher has created a(n): - correct answer-conceptualization- stage
in a study where the researcher describes the social dynamics to a

operationalization- refers to how an abstract concept as a variable is
observed through different measurements
stereotype threat - correct answer-an individual might be worried about
conforming to a negatively stereotyped role due to their social
background

the sequence of nucleic acids
