Q

examples of correlational studies

A

survey method, naturalistic observation, case studies

21
Q

correlational can not prove

A

causation

22
Q

experimental research can prove

A

causation

23
Q

what do you have to have for an experiments

A

random assignment

24
Q

experiment does not require a

A

random selection

25
Q

results for experiments are not

A

generalizable

26
Q

descriptive statistics

A

describe data

27
Q

inferential statistics

A

what we see means this

28
Q

EEG

A

measures electricity in brain; precise timing, general location

29
Q

fMRI

A

measures blood flow; precise location, general timing

30
Q

patient studies

A

relationship between damaged brain regions

31
Q

single-electrode

A

identify specialized functions of individual neurons

32
Q

brain lateralization

A

one hemisphere is more or entirely responsible for a function

33
Q

sensation

A

taking in external stimuli to be translated to electrical impulses

34
Q

perception

A

interpreting information received, depends on top-down processing or bottom-up

35
Q

bottom-up processing

A

driven by sensory info, individual components(lines, shading, texture) data driven, shapes/sizes, no preconceived ideas

36
Q

top-down processing

A

driven by knowledge, uses prior knowledge, theory driven

37
Q

Gestalt principles

A

happens automatically, helps us interpret sensory info, fill in blanks/missing pieces

38
Q

Process of attention

A

input-sensory receptors- perception- short term/working memory

39
Q

dual task paradigm

A

by separating our attention, there is a cost for not retaining all info.

40
Q

early selection

A

stimuli filtered out early, but doesn’t explain why we hear our name in crowded area

41
Q

late selection

A

stimuli gets in, moves on, and is the decided if important but doesn’t explain why we don’t comprehend words in black

42
Q

Treismans Attenuation

A

info is weakened but no completely filtered

43
Q

capacity theory

A

tasks require mental effort/cognitive reason

44
Q

4 Models of Attention sads

A

selective attention, sustained attention, alternating attention, divided attention

45
Q

selective attention

A

ability to select from many factors or stimuli and to focus on one thing

46
Q

sustained attention

A

focus on one specific task for long time without being distracted

47
Q

alternating attention

A

the ability to switch focus between tasks requiring different cognitive demands

48
Q

divided attention

A

process 2 or more response/ react to 2 or more different demands simultaneously (multi-tasking)
