qhich usually occurs in older people such as fighting off atttackers

refers to individual spending an increased percentage of time in REM sleep if they are deproved from doing it

Acts as a master switch for sleep that when secrets GABA, you'll be awake

A column of cell that stretches length of brain stem, arouses and alerts the forebrain. it is turned off to sleep

is a pattern of depressive symptoms

suggests sleep evolved because it prevented early humans and animals from wasting energy and exposing themselves to the dangers of nocturnal predators

refers to feeling some positive or negative emotion, such as happiness, fear, or anxiety, when experiencing a stimulus that initially accompanied a pleasant or painful event.

refers to a kind of learning in which the consequences that follow some behavior increase or decrease the likelihood of that behavior’s occurrence in the future

ia kind of learning that involves mental processes, such as attention and memory; may be learned through observation or imitation; and may not involve any external rewards or require the person to perform any observable behaviors.

is a kind of learning in which a neutral stimulus acquires the ability to produce a response that was originally produced by a different stimulus

Also called Classical Conditioning

refers to associating a particular sensory cue (smell, taste, sound, or sight) with getting sick and thereafter avoiding that particular sensory cue in the future.

refers to the usefulness of certain abilities or traits that have evolved in animals and humans and tend to increase their chances of survival, such as finding food, acquiring mates, and avoiding pain and injury

is the tendency for a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response. Usually, the more similar the new stimulus is to the original conditioned stimulus, the larger will be the conditioned response.

refers to a procedure in which a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus and, as a result, the conditioned stimulus tends to no longer elicit the conditioned response.

occurs during classical conditioning when an organism learns to make a particular response to some stimuli but not to others.
