PSY 101 Study Guide - Basilar Membrane, Middle Ear, Stirrup
Document Summary
Three tiniest bones in the body ( the hammer, anvil, stirrup) known as ossicles. Inner ear- consists largely of the cochlea- a fluid filled, coiled tunnel contains receptors for hearing. Basilar membrane- runs the length of the cochlea. Escape and avoid conditioning- learn to make a response in order to end an aversive stimulus. Secondary reinforces- previously neutral stimulus that if paired with a stimulus that is already reinforcing, will in itself take on reinforcing properties. Cr: learned response to a previously neutral conditioned stimulus. Kinesthesis- system for sensing the position and movement of individual parts of the body. Sensory adaption- responsiveness to an unchanging stimulus decreases over time. Depth perception: ability to see objects in 3-d although the objects that strike the retina are in 2-d.
