Dependent variable
➢Everything is constant and possible
➢Within group is the same group and people
➢Things change from one point to another
➢Doing things might change the outcome- manipulating independent variable
➢Cause & effect
➢Research
2 correlational
➢No manipulation
➢Relationships exist on their own
➢Difficulty with cause and effect
➢You cannot manipulate everything- the thing that happens itself-natural cause
Advantages
Some things can’t be manipulated
Good for early research
Many variables at once- combine many things without
Disadvantages
● Cause and effect?
●
● Eliminating confounds?
Methods of observation
➢How did we get the data experiment from people
➢Case study- what is case study? focusing on a specific group of people/person for a
small amount of time
➢Cannot get a large sample-low base phanomane
➢Disadvantages of case study might take years-it takes effort
➢Sometimes doing a case study might take money
➢archives- it existed information- found on the internet- no energy or effort
➢Self- Reports- Surveys, Questionnaires/ Tests
Naturalistic observations: evaluate- correlation studies

Obtrusive vs. unobtrusive
➢Obtrusive: is the actual thing is there!
➢Unobtrusive: is actual thing not there
Laboratory
Cell construction:
➢Soma: cell body
➢Dendrites: receives communication
➢Axon: sends communication
➢Neuron: nerves
Myelinated
➢“White matter”
➢Fatty insulation
➢Speeds information transfer
Non-myelinated
➢“Grey matter”
Glial Cells:
➢Between neutrons
➢Support and protect
Functions:
➢Support and keeps it in place
➢Supply nutrients and oxygen
➢Insulate from other neurons
➢Remove waste and poisons
Astrocytes Process:
➢Support, cleaning, and feeding
Oligodendrocytes Process;
➢Support and make myelin
➢Multiple neurons at once
Schwann Process
➢Support and makes myelin
➢One neuron
Microglia Process
➢Clean up
➢Protects from Microorganism
➢Immune system of brain
Neural Communication: If it suppose to happen or not
➢Electrical- happens inside the nerve cells
Resting potential
➢Electrical charge when resting

Document Summary
Within group is the same group and people. Things change from one point to another. Doing things might change the outcome- manipulating independent variable. You cannot manipulate everything- the thing that happens itself-natural cause. Many variables at once- combine many things without. How did we get the data experiment from people. Focusing on a specific group of people/person for a small amount of time. Cannot get a large sample-low base phanomane. Disadvantages of case study might take years-it takes effort. Sometimes doing a case study might take money. Archives- it existed information- found on the internet- no energy or effort. Obtrusive: is the actual thing is there! Neural communication: if it suppose to happen or not. Connects sense receptors, muscles etc. to central ns: autonomic. Regulates glands & automatic muscle functions: sympathetic. Central ns: brain and spinal cord: spinal cord. Faster, longer, communicate with brain: brain. Reticular activating system (ras)- it tells you whats wrong.
