AP PSYCH - Module 12- 15

________: the interplay that occurs when the effect of one factor (such as environment) depends on another factor (such as heredity)

________: a random error in gene replication that leads to a change.

________: in the frontal lobe, helps with talking and speaking.

________: the brains ability to change (especially during childhood) by reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience.

________: the biochemical units of heredity that make up chromosomes, segments of DNA capable of synthesizing proteins.

________: the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organisms chromosomes.

________: our awareness of ourselves, and our environment.

________: a band of neural fibers that connects the two brain hemispheres, and carries messages between them.

________: the study of environmental influences on a gene expression that occurs without a DNA change.

every external influence from when a baby is in the womb to the people and things around us.

________: the formation of new neurons.

________: guessing /knowing the color or orientation of an object without being able to actually see it.

________ brain: a condition that results from a surgery that isolates the two hemispheres by cutting the corpus callosum most of the time this surgery is performed in order to stop severe seizures.

________: covers the cerebral hemispheres, it is the bodys ultimate control and information processing center.

________: adopted parents and siblings.

________: threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain genes.

________: the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes.

________: located just behind the forehead, it is involved in speaking and muscle movements along with making plans and judgments.

________: the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition.

________: the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those contributing to reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations.

________: the study of how genetic variations affect psychological traits such as personality, mental illness, cognitive abilities, and social attitude.

________: a complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up chromosomes.

________: the subfield of biology that studies the molecular structure and function of genes.

________: in the temporal lobe, it is responsible for speech and understanding.

________: situated at the top back of the brain, it receives sensory input for touch and body positions.

________: located at the front of the partial lobe, it registers and processes body touch and movement sensations.

________: the study of the evolution of behavior of the mind, using principles of natural selection.

________: the idea that information is often simultaneously processed on separate conscious and unconscious tracks.

covers the cerebral hemispheres, it is the bodys ultimate control and information processing center

cells located in the nervous system that work as janitors by supporting and nourishing neurons, they also play a role in learning and thinking

located just behind the forehead, it is involved in speaking and muscle movements along with making plans and judgments

situated at the top back of the brain, it receives sensory input for touch and body positions

located in the back of the head, includes areas that receive information from the visual fields

portion of the cerebral cortex located just above the ears, includes auditory areas, each receives information mainly from the opposite ear

an area at the back of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements

located at the front of the partial lobe, it registers and processes body touch and movement sensations

areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions, they are involved in higher mental functions such as thinking, learning, remembering and thinking

in the temporal lobe, it is responsible for speech and understanding

in the frontal lobe, helps with talking and speaking

the brains ability to change (especially during childhood) by reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience

the formation of new neurons

a band of neural fibers that connects the two brain hemispheres, and carries messages between them

the complete instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organisms chromosomes

twins who developed from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, creating two genetically identical people

twins who developed from different fertilized eggs

bio-parents and siblings

adopted parents and siblings
