the activation of specialized sensory receptors

come forms responds to specific stimuli like light and sound

how we interpret and organize the sensory input from our environment.

minimum amount of stimulus presented to a sensory receptors also represent smallest amount of energy

provides fundamental principle the noticeable difference between two stimuli remain constant

brain gradually tunes out a president and unchanging stimulus. also our senses still respond but the brain doesn't pay much attention to the signals

cease to respond to a consistent stimulus. also sensors became less responsive and stop sending signals

data driven processing/ incoming data

termed knowledge driven processing hinges on our existing knowledge

light we often overlook it's wave like characteristics

wave amplitude signifying how high or low wave is

also know as hue

light waves and denotes the purity of perceived colors

electromagnetic radiation describe by the wavelength and amplitude

circadian rhythm is the 24 hours cycle that tells our body when to sleep

sleep is a product of evolution

sleep is necessary for physical health

restoring physiological function

restoring mental function

people sleep to process information

relatively permanent behavior charge brought about by experience or practice

kind or learning that occurs with reflexive involuntary behavior

List the four elements of classical conditioning

tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to original

tendency to stop making a generalized response

disappearance or weakening of learned response

reappearance of learned response

paired with neutral stimulus

discovered that phobia could be learn through classical conditioning

occurs when organism become nauseated or sick

kind of learning applies to voluntary behavior

law of effect

who name Operant Conditioning

strengthen a response by ff. it with pleasurable rewarding consequences

followed by pleasurable stimulus

removing avoiding unpleasant stimulus

reinforce small simple steps in behavior

present an unpleasant even outcome

states that learning required cognition influence

studied how rats learn how to run complex maze

remains hidden untill situation arises

found that dogs in an inescapable situation

failure to escape when it became possible
