QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Schemes. Answer: mental representations that underlies ability to
organize
◉ Assimilation. Answer: use of existing schemes to incorporate
external stimuli
-the way an organism continually integrates new information into
what you already know
◉ Accomodation. Answer: transformation process in response to
external stimuli that does not already fit into any available scheme
and therefore cannot be assimilated
◉ Equilibrium. Answer: state of cognitive balance between incoming
stimuli and organism's cognitive scheme
◉ Neuroscience. Answer: the study of neuroanatomy and
neurophysiology
◉ Neuroanatomy. Answer: structure of the nervous system, where
everything is located
, ◉ Neurophysiology. Answer: how the brain function
◉ Neurolinguistics. Answer: the study of neuroanatomy, physiology,
and biochemistry of language
◉ Neuron. Answer: nerve cell; the most basic unit of the nervous
system
◉ Do neurons touch?. Answer: never
◉ Nerve. Answer: collection of neurons
-has a cell body, axon, and dendrites
◉ Axon. Answer: communicates messages away from the cell body
◉ dendrites. Answer: receives messages and goes towards the
neuron
◉ synapse. Answer: the space between neurons
◉ how do neurons communicate?. Answer: electrophysically
