BIOPSYCHOLOGY 10TH EDITION PINEL -
CHAPTER 1 A+ GRADED
1. Neurons --cells that receive and transmit electrochemical signals
2. Neuroscience --the scientific study of the nervous system
3. Thinking creatively --thinking in productive, unconventional ways
4. Clinical --pertaining to illness or treatment
5. Evolutionary perspective --The comparative approach (trying to understand biological
phenomena by comparing them in different species)
6. Biopsychology --the scientific study of the biology of behavior
7. Neuroanatomy --the study of the structure of the nervous system
8. Neurochemistry --the study of the chemical bases of neural activity
9. Neuroendocrinology --the study of interactions between the nervous system and the
endocrine system
10. Neuropathology --the study of nervous system disorders
11. Neuropharmacology --the study of the effects of drugs on neural activity
12. Neurophysiology --the study of the functions and activities of the nervous system
13. Comparative approach --the study of biological processes by comparing different species
14. Between-subjects design --a different group of subjects is tested under each condition
15. Within-subjects design --an experimental design in which the same subjects are tested
under each condition
16. Independent variable --The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose
effect is being studied.
17. Dependent variable --The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research
is interested.
