a technique used by Wilhelm Wundt that involved trained
analytic introspection participants describing their experiences and thought processes
in response to stimuli
a field of study aiming to make machines behave in ways that
would be considered intelligent if a human were behaving that
artificial intelligence
way, as defined by John McCarthy during the Dartmouth
conference
an approach to psychology founded by John Watson that
emphasizes the study of observable behavior and rejects
behaviorism
introspection and the investigation of unobservable mental
processes
a form of learning introduced by Ivan Pavlov and associated with
classical conditioning John Watson, wherein a neutral stimulus becomes associated
with a meaningful stimulus, resulting in a learned response
all mental abilities, including perceiving, learning, remembering,
cognition
thinking, reasoning, and understanding
the study of mental processes, encompassing characteristics and
cognitive psychology
properties of the mind and how it operates
the approach of focusing on understanding mental processes
cognitive paradigm and the operation of the mind, which emerged during the
cognitive revolution
a shift in psychology from behaviorism to a focus on
understanding mental processes, which occurred during the
cognitive revolution
1950s and was marked by events such as conferences on artificial
intelligence and information theory
the mental process involved in making choices, as inferred from
decision-making process
behavior in Donders' experiment
a flow chart proposed by Donald Broadbent in the 1950s that
filter model of attention depicts the operation of the mind in terms of processing stages,
particularly in directing attention to stimuli in the environment
, a brain imaging technique introduced in 1990 that allows the
functional magnetic resonance
observation of activated areas in the human brain during
imaging (fMRI)
cognitive activity without radioactive tracers
the complex cognitive functions, such as thinking, problem-
higher mental processes solving, and long-term remembering, considered in the study of
cognitive psychology
a form of learning introduced by B. F. Skinner that focuses on
operant conditioning how behavior is strengthened by the presentation of positive
reinforcers or the withdrawal of negative reinforcers
the association between a stimulus and the resulting behavior, a
stimulus-response relationships
central focus of behaviorism
a significant shift in scientific thinking from one paradigm to
scientific revolution
another, marked by changes in dominant ideas and approaches
a stage in Atkinson and Shiffrin's model of memory that holds
sensory memory
incoming information for a fraction of a second
a stage in Atkinson and Shiffrin's model of memory with limited
short-term memory
capacity, holding information for seconds
biological milestones universal developmental events, such as puberty
cognitive development development of thinking and reasoning abilities
developmental milestones normative events marking stages in development
information processing abilities, such as logical reasoning, spatial
fluid intelligence
ability, and reaction time
genotype genetic makeup influencing traits
the improvement of an organism's response to the environment
learning
through the acquisition of new information
the study of the capacity and fragility of human memory,
memory
focusing on acquisition, storage, and retrieval
neuroplasticity the brain's capacity to reorganize and adapt
normative approach study of age-related averages for developmental milestones
understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of
object permanence
sight
development related to emotions, personality, and social
psychosocial development
relationships
propagated electrical potential responsible for transmitting
action potential neural information and for communication between neurons.
Action potentials typically travel down a neuron's axon.
in the frontal lobe, identified as specialized for language
Broca's area
production
a layer of tissue about 3 mm thick covering the brain, responsible
cerebral cortex
for many cognitive functions
the structural description of the network of elements and
connectome connections forming the human brain, often referred to as the
wiring diagram of neurons in the brain
