Document Summary
Experimenter then projects: projective test: not directly asked about a certain behaviour or personality traits, only asked to describe what you see in, objective test: iq test. Answers can only be interpreted in one way; no ambiguity of how to interpret the results: standardization, reliability, validity, random variables, participants" expectations, experimenter bias, sources of confounding variables: Lecture 3 - jan. 17: somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, the spinal cord, sends sensory information to cns for processing, sends messages from cns to muscles to direct motion, controls activities normally outside of conscious control. Interacting: ns controls hormonal release and cytokine release; hormones can affect neuronal ring: mesolimbic and mesocortical pathways, three different communication systems within the body, nigrostriatal pathway: In ammatory disease (traditional hypothesis) through neurons: disease of the myelin sheath; attacks and destroys them resulting in reduce processing of electrical signals, stops perception and motor functions, higher pressure in ns causes the disease.
