Quiz Flashcards
Subjective experience of sensory information after processing
Perception
Analytical process
Learning and memory
Retention of the information given (Previous experience)
Retrieval
usage of experiments on human subjects to
identify ways on how they learn, think and remember things
Experimental cognitive psychology
considering events that are only observable such as stimulus presented
by any behavioral response to said stimulus
Behaviorism
Approach of psychology through the usage of patterns or shape
Gestalt Psychology
Stimulation at the bottom end of the nervous system which are the sense
organs, proceeds to higher (stimulus or data driven processing) incoming stimulus sets
of the processing
Bottom up
Production of speech
Broca’s area
Tactile input form the skin, feedback from muscles and
internal organs
Somatic sensory cotrex
Production of auditory and memory function
Temporal lobe
Language and speech
Wernicke’s area
Neurons that transfer chemical substance
Neurotransmitters
Ability to functionally blind patients to detect visual stimuli at an unconscious level
Blindsight
Aspects of a stimulus get influence and how easily it can be registered by the sense
Sensory conspicuity
Raw sensory input
Sensation
Perception of the world is distorted in some way
Visual illusion
First stage in Marr’s model of vision that computes the edges and other
details from retinal images
Primal sketch
Under conscious, intentional control, subject to interference
Controlled attention
Controlled by the intention of a participant
Endogenous attention
drawn automatically to a stimulus without the intention of the
participant, cannot be ignored
Exogenous attention
effect of a well-learned response to a stimulus slowing the ability to
make the less well learned response: naming the ink colour of a colored word
Stroop effect
movement between of the eyes during information uptake is suppressed
Saccade
Condition with sensory input of one modality consistently and
automatically experience a sensory event in a different modality (seeing colour on
hearing musical notes)
Synaesthesia
imaging tech that uses very strong magnetic fields to measure changes in oxygenation of the blood and activity
Functional magnetic resonance imaging
electrical coil placed near the surface of the head
inducing a magnetic field, weak electrical current
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
recording of the brain’s electrical activity via electrodes on
the scalp
Electroencephalography
processing of visual input
Occipital lobe
processing of perception
Parietal lobe
three-dimensional features
Geons
Muscle Memory
Procedural knowledge
