Lateral Geniculate Nucleus - ✔✔ Visual Pathway
Medial Geniculate Nucleus - ✔✔ Auditory Pathway
Bipolar Cells - ✔✔ Relay sensory
... [Show More] information relating to vision, olfaction, audition and the vestibular sense. Found in retina, inner ear, nasal cavity
"miss" - ✔✔ failure to respond after an event has occurred
Tunnel Vision - ✔✔ Decreased field of vision occurring after the sympathetic nervous system responds to "fight or flight"
Top-Down Processing - ✔✔ Uses what the brain already knows and expects and fills in the blanks. Uses context
Bottom Up Processing - ✔✔ Building of sensory info on top of each other for recognition
Gestalt Processing - ✔✔ Seeing the whole of an object not just as an assembly of parts
False Alarm - ✔✔ Responding yes when the response should be no or none
Parvocellular Cells - ✔✔ Picture or object detection
Magnocellular Cells - ✔✔ Motion detection
Gate Theory of Pain - ✔✔ Pain signals are not free to reach the brain immediately; they encounter gates a the spinal cord level. Pain is felt when these gates or opened.
Example of Gate Theory - ✔✔ Rubbing or messaging injured or painful area decreases pain response
Ruffini Endings - ✔✔ Detect stretching of skin
Free nerve endings - ✔✔ Pain detection
Threshold theory of pain - ✔✔ signal for pain is not interpreted until it reaches a certain limit
The auditory cortex is located in the _____ lobe. - ✔✔ Temporal
The somatosensory cortex is located in the _______ lobe. - ✔✔ Parietal
Structural Isomer - ✔✔ (Also called constitutional isomers) Same molecular formula but different connectivity.
Configurational Isomers - ✔✔ Same connectivity but cannot be interconverted by rotating about a single bond. Need to break a single bond around single carbon atom
Diastereomer - ✔✔ Same connectivity with at least one chiral center in common and at least one that is different
How to know if a chiral carbon has d or l stereochem - ✔✔ positive optical rotation= d, negative= l
Put in order of most stable to least stable: gauche, anti staggered, eclipsed - ✔✔ anti staggered, gauche, eclipsed
Torsional Strain - ✔✔ Also eclipsing strain is the increase in potential energy of a molecule due to repulsion between electrons in bonds that do not share an atom (Eclipsed has high, or cis configuration)
Elaborative Rehearsal - ✔✔ Thinking about the meaning of a word to be remembered as opposed to just repeating it over and over.
Self- reference effect - ✔✔ Easier to remember something that is related to the individual, rather than one which is not
Semantic Encoding - ✔✔ Encoding sensory input with context as opposed to just the word itself. Stronger than acoustic or visual encoding
Spreading Activation - ✔✔ Recall of linked concepts. Like similar words in a list
Shaping - ✔✔ Reinforcement mechanism where rewards are given for successive steps of a complex task, but in subsequent attempts earlier steps are no longer reinforced.
Semantic Memory - ✔✔ Memory related to facts
Episodic Memory - ✔✔ Memory related to events occurred in the person's life
Source Amensia - ✔✔ Remembering a fact while forgetting the source
Confabulation - ✔✔ Creation of a false narrative that one believes to be true, often associated with a disorder. [Show Less]
