Tanginamo Flashcards
A specialized professional that focuses on how people
perceive various shapes, why they remember some facts
but forget others, or how they learn language.
Cognitive psychologist
A believes that the route to knowledge is
through thinking and logical analysis whereas believes that we acquire knowledge via
empirical evidence that is, we obtain evidence through
experience and observation
Rationalist, empiricist
It seeks to seeks a scientific study of life-sustaining
functions in living matter, primarily through empirical
(observation- based) methods
Physiology
An approach in cognitive psychology that seeks to
understand the structure (configuration of elements) of the
mind and its perceptions by analyzing those perceptions
into their constituent component
Structuralism
It examines how elements of the mind, like events or
ideas, can become associated with one another in the mind
to result in a form of learning.
Associationism
Considered as the “father” of radical behaviorism.
John watson
What perspective believes the maxim “the whole is more
than the sum of its part
Gestalt Perspective
The capacity to learn from experience, using
metacognitive processes to enhance learning, and the
ability to adapt to the surrounding environment.
Intelligence
According to the three-stratum model of intelligence,
this hierarchy of cognitive abilities comprises of various
broad abilities.
Statrum 2
He has proposed a theory of multiple intelligences, in
which intelligence comprises multiple independent
constructs, not just a single, unitary construct
Howard Gardner
Through this system we receive, process, and then
respond to information from the environment and other
stimul
Nervous system
Dysfunction of this area of the forebrain can result in
motor deficits.
Basal ganglia
This system comprises three central interconnected
cerebral structures: the septum, the amygdala, and the
hippocampus.
Limbic system
This connects the forebrain to the spinal cord.
Brainstem
Part of the hindbrain that is also the place at which
nerves from the right side of the body cross over to the left
side of the brain and nerves from the left side of the body
cross over to the right side of the brain.
Medulla Oblongata
Involved in receiving and processing sensory
information, thinking, other cognitive processing, and
planning and sending motor information.
Cerebral Cortex
He argued that left and right hemispheres behave in
many respects like a separate brain.
Roger Sperry
One of the four lobes contains the primary motor
cortex, which specializes in the planning, control, and
execution of movement, particularly of movement
involving any kind of delayed response
Frontal lobe
This is a dense aggregate of neural fibers connecting
the left and right cerebral hemispheres
Corpus Callosum
These are the areas in the lobes in which sensory
processing.
Projection areas
These cells tend to be arranged in the form of
networks, which provide information and feedback to each
other within various kinds of information processing.
Neuron
It serves as a juncture between the terminal buttons of
one or more neurons and the dendrites (or sometimes the
soma) of one or more other neurons
Synapse
It is a long, thin tube that extends (and sometimes
splits) from the soma and responds to the information,
when appropriate, by transmitting an electrochemical
signal, which travels to the terminus (end), where the
signal can be transmitted to other neurons.
Axon
The neurotransmitter that Involved in arousal, sleep
and dreaming, and mood; usually inhibitory but some
excitatory effects.
Serotonin
An excitatory in brain and either excitatory (at skeletal
muscles) or inhibitory (at heart muscles) elsewhere in the
body.
Acetylcholine
A branch- like structures that receive information from
other neurons.
Dendrites
Imaging techniques that specifically records electrical
frequencies and intensities of the living brain, typically
recorded over relatively long periods.
Electrical Recording
These are considered as X-ray–based techniques which
allow for the observation of large abnormalities of the
brain, such as damage resulting from strokes or tumors.
Angiograms , CT scan
Static technique that allows for a much clearer
picture of the brain than CT scans.
MRI
A metabolic technique which measures the rise of
oxygen consumption in active brain areas during
particular kinds of information processin
Positron Emission Tomography
(Pet scan )
This representation believes that what matters is the
appearance of the object to the viewer (in this case, the
appearance of the computer to the author), not the actual
structure of the object.
Viewer Center Representation
The third orientation explained that information is
characterized by its relation to a well-known or famous
item.
Landmark centered
We tend to perceive any given visual array in a way
that most simply organizes the different elements into a
stable and coherent form. Which concept best depicts this
picture?
Law of Pragnanz
Gestalt principles which requires that features appear
to have balanced proportions around a central axis or a
central point.
Symmetry
The rationale behind this law bears repeating: It
predicts that what we perceive is based on what usually
happens in the environment. This means that if perception
follows the Gestalt laws, it is likely that the resulting
perception will accurately reflect what is happening in the
environment.
Law of Good Continuation
Martha Farah suggests that humans have two systems
for recognizing patterns. Which of the system is most
relevant to the recognition of faces
Configurational System
Another theory is concerning the role of the fusiform
gyrus. It is activated when one examines items with which
one has visual expertise. Which theory postulates it?
Feature of analysis system
The physical characteristics of the external distal
object are probably not changing. But because we must be
able to deal effectively with the external world, our
perceptual system has mechanisms that adjust our
perception of the proximal stimulus. Thus, the perception
remains constant although the proximal sensation changes.
What system best fit the picture?
Perception constancy
Type of perception system which states that the size of
an image on the retina depends directly on the distance of
that object from the eye.
Size constancy
People with this deficit have trouble reaching for
things.
Optic ataxia
