Brain 2 Psych

Neuroplasticity

• How you interpret and organize information

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

• a person's characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity

• the brain's ability to change its structure and function in response to experience or damage

  Makes new neuron connection when you learn new things

Neuroplasticity age

• Physical impulses sent to the brain

• the older you get the lower the plasticity

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

• How you interpret and organize information

temperament

• How you interpret and organize information

• Sensation

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

• a person's characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity

Sensation

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

• how you interpret and organize information

• Physical impulses sent to the brain

• When you are exposed to something long enough, your sensory goes down, so you don't have sensory overload

Perception

• the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time

• Physical impulses sent to the brain

• How you interpret and organize information

• just noticeable difference; condition in which one stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same

Transduction

• How you interpret and organize information

• When you are exposed to something long enough, your sensory goes down, so you don't have sensory overload

• Physical impulses sent to the brain

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

Sensory adaptation

• Data that comes and stimulates your scenes

• The difference between stimulus (signal) and background stimulation (noise). Some notice more than others

• When you are exposed to something long enough, your sensory goes down, so you don't have sensory overload

• Physical impulses sent to the brain

absolute threshold

• Needs 3% change to detect something has changed

• The lowest level of a stimulus a person can detect

• the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection

• just noticeable difference; condition in which one stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same

difference threshold

• The smallest amount of change between two stimuli

• the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus

• just noticeable difference; condition in which one stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same

• The JND is the percentage of change that can cause stimulation

What is JND

• When you are exposed to something long enough, your sensory goes down, so you don't have sensory overload

• the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus

• The difference between stimulus (signal) and background stimulation (noise). Some notice more than others

• the condition in which one stimulus is sufficiently stronger than another so that someone can actually notice that the two are not the same
