Coordinating Systems: Behavior and Hormones Flashcards
What is the rut-in-the-road theory?
The rut-in-the-road theory is that when people learn a way to do something, they find it easier to do it that way, and it is harder for people to learn it a different way.
What do motivation, paying attention, short, frequent study-sessions, re-learning, over-learning, using mnemonics, and cramming do to influence learning? What is the one that can most likely reduce long-term memory? Which three would be the most useful?
Motivation: To make studying and working more fun and interesting, and to give a reason for studying. Paying Attention: Make topics more familiar. Short, Frequent Study Sessions: Able to study shorter and easier topics more smoothly. Re-learning: Makes topics easier to remember after knowing them fully. Over-learning: Makes topics more familiar to the student. Using Mnemonics: Makes topics easier to remember. Cramming: Makes learning efficiency decrease.
Cramming would moat likely reduce long-term memory. Paying attention, re-learning, and over-learning would probably help with long-term memory.
What is a placebo? What is an experiment in which you could use a placebo and test its effects?
A placebo is a fake pill, which works when the taker believes that it will work. An experiment would be to give 100 people the placebo. Tell 50 people that the placebo is just water. See if the placebo cures the 50 who think it’s a medicine, and the other 50.

Hormones are chemicals that reacts to certain cells. Cells are made in endocrine glands. Hormones are distributed throughout the blood. Insulin. The pancreas. Mixed.
The pituitary gland stimulates the Thyroid Gland to secrete thyroxine. Thyroxine stimulates cell metabolism and “turns off” TSH. This process when Gland 1 stimulates Gland 2 and Gland 2 turns off Gland 1 is called _____ _____ and helps to maintain _____.
Negative Feedback. Homeostasis.
How it the female cycle regulated? Do not name any hormones.
A hormone helps to let the egg mature. The egg then sends another hormone turning off the first via negative feedback. Then another hormone is sent to prepare the egg for fertilization. The next hormone then turns off the second with neg. feedback, and then prepares the corpus luteum. If the egg is fertilized, then the egg and corpus luteum both send hormones, nurturing the egg. If it isn’t, then the cycle begins again.
How are the nervous and endocrine systems similar with their functions?
Both coordinate throughout the entire body. They both send particles throughout the body, which react to different cells.
