behaviorism: theory that behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning, without appeal to thoughts or feelings
scientific method: set of assumptions, and procedures that guide scientific investigations and conclusions
Gesalt: school of psychology that emphasizes the tendency to organize perceptions into meaningful wholes
Neuron: A nerve cell; The basic building block of the nervous system
Neurotransmitters: Chemicals stored in sacs in the axon terminals
Sensation: The stimulation of sensory receptors and the transmission of sensory information to the brain
Meditation: A systematic narrowing of attention that slows the metabolism and helps produce feelings of relaxation
Operant: type of conditioning where Learning is strengthened when behavior is followed by positive reinforcement
Punishment: Any consequence that decreases future likelihood of a behavior
Clinical: type of psychology that Investigates diagnosis and treats psychological disorders
Opiates: chemicals, such as opium, morphine, and heroin, that depresses neural activity, temporarily lessening pain and anxiety
Synapse: the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron
Motor: neurons that carry outgoing information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands
Somatic: the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles
Narcolepsy: sleep disorder in which a person has uncontrollable sleep attacks, sometimes lapsing directly into REM sleep
Hippocampus: part of the brain responsible for memories
Dopamine: Helps control movement; modulates mood, motivation and reward
Serotonin: Helps regulate mood, body temperature, sleep, and appetite
Sensation: the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus from environment
Optic: the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
Shaping: the reinforcement of simple steps in behavior that lead to a desired, more complex behavior
Extension: the diminishing of a conditioned response
Reinforcer: in operant conditioning, any event that strengthens the behavior it follows
Negative: reinforcement that increase behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock
Fixed: an interval reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed
Latent: learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
