10. “Executive control center”; judgment, planning, reasoning

11. Frontal Lobe

12. Contains the auditory cortex

13. Temporal Lobe

14. Controls the muscles needed for speech; Expressive language

15. Broca’s Area

16. Lobe that controls voluntary movements

17. Motor cortex (in back of frontal lobe!)

18. Parts of the limbic system

19. Hypothalamus: hunger, thirst, body temperature Amygdala: fear and aggression, threat detection center Hippocampus: new memories (explicit)

20. Famous for his theory on multiple intelligence; Identified at least 8

21. Howard Gardner

22. Intelligence proposed by Charles Spearman; A common level of intelligence that underlies all of our intelligence behavior

23. General (g) intelligence

24. What is emotional intelligence?

25. The ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions

26. Proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence

27. Robert Sternberg; Analytical, creative, and practical intelligences

28. List Gardner’s intelligence types

29. Linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily- kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist

30. The three measures of central tendency

31. Mean, median, and mode

32. What is the range of the following score distribution: 5, 10, 20, 30

33. 25

34. In a normal curve, where are the mean, median, and mode located?

35. In the middle! For IQ, would be 100

36. A measure of how tightly clustered a group of scores is around their mean; Square root of variance

37. Standard Deviation

38. What is a z score?

39. Used to compare scores from different distributions; Converts scores into distance standard deviation “points”

40. Type of research in which humans or animals are studied in their natural context

41. Naturalistic observation

42. Studies one individual in depth through tests, interviews, observations

43. Case Study

44. In using surveys, a representative sample is one that is…

45. Representative of your entire population

46. Name that type of research. Comparing hours slept per night and GPA

47. Correlational

48. What is the difference between a longitudinal study and a cross sectional study?

49. Longitudinal: same group over time Cross sectional: studying same thing in different age groups

50. Group of psychologists who stressed that the whole is different than the sum of its parts; Studied organizational principles

51. Gestalt

52. The understanding that an object’s shape remains the same even though the angle of view makes the shape appear changed

53. Size constancy

54. What is relative size?

55. Smaller objects are further away, larger objects are clower

56. Appearance of motion created by lights turning off and on in a sequence

57. Phi Phenomenon

58. Name and explain your two binocular depth cues

59. Convergence: tension in eyes increase as objects come closer Retinal disparity: slightly different image projected onto the retina due to the separation of your eyes

60. Machine used to measure sleep waves

61. EEG

62. Body rhythm that occur on a 24 hour cycle

63. Circadian rhythms

64. What are sleep spindles?

65. Bursts of activity that occur during Stage 2

66. Cluster of neurons in the hypothalamus that receive information from the retina about light

67. Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

68. Chemicals involved in sleep

69. Adenosine: triggers sleepiness Melatonin: High levels help us get ready for sleep
