Document Summary

Ie given a perspective from one point of view and state which perspective it is. Gestalt psych whole is different than sum of parts. Advantage and disadvantage of each type of research (correlation/descriptive) Correlation leads to potential prediction but no causation. Recognize independent and dependent variables from a given study. Now we think that they influence neurons and how much neurotransmittes they release. First is depolarization (must exceed -55) then hyperpolarization (leads to below -70) then returns to resting potential. Inhibitory causes hyperpolarization (decreases chance of action potential) Difference between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic. Penfield (video) could map areas of brain to tell what areas involved with motor movements through electrical stimulation. Eeg records from a mass of neurons across cortex of brain. Cet, pet and mri and fmri (activation during different functions) Dti and meg (connectivity within the brain for both of them) Yes ie know how to label different parts of the brain.
