Unlike any other introductory psychology textbook authors, we believe that teaching, learning, and improving are interdependent.

The material has been covered for a chapter because it was easy to read packaged into quizzes that teachers could give to students before class or after.

We realize how valuable this research is in creating tools that will work for teachers and students in face-to-face, online, and hybrid environments.

Students can easily see what Learning Goals they have more tempting morsels by including low- stakes methods of repeatedly practicing with the that essentially provide material in the textbook, through red Q questions and Self- brief articles and Quiz questions in each chapter, all of which have answers in applications deliver Appendix B Learning benefits such as improved scores on later exams can be achieved with the creation of pre- lecture quizzes.

Student interest is correlated with information retention so designing it based on fun gaming techniques is a good idea.

Creating different types of interactive items-- such as video questions, drag and drop, fill in the blank, and multiple choice-- that require students to actively work with the concepts tied to specific Learning Goals.

Providing easy to understand graphs of individual student performance over time, by specific concepts and by question type, helps teachers check students' mastery of the material either before class, where difficult concepts can be discussed, or before quizzes and tests.

We asked them about their goals, needs, successes, and challenges, and like a game, rather than what mattered to them in terms of their identities and experiences.

Even as the pressures of teaching increase, institutions provide less support, fewer professional development opportunities, and less technical training.

Ensuring that students have a wide variety of effective active- learning tools at their disposal in the textbook and support materials so they can choose which methods they feel might be most interesting, motivating, or personally applicable.

Sex, gender, sexual orientation, psychological disorders, and intellectual abilities are some of the topics that can be described using the most appropriate terms.

Supporting students' financial needs by providing them with the most effective textbook at the lowest cost as well as the least inexpensive, most evidence-based online homework tool, InQuizitive.

An integrated approach to teaching, learning, and improving that supports teachers and students from different identities and experiences has been built into the system.

The textbook and integrated support materials are constantly updated to reflect new research and input from introductory psychology teachers.

Comments from reviewers, our teaching colleagues, and our students have helped ensure that every chapter in the textbook is as accurate and compelling as possible.

The new format supports the needs of underprepared readers with lots of headings chunking text information into shorter sections that are linked with specific and subdivisions.

Writing a textbook and developing unique and integrated educational tools for teachers and students are similar to teaching and learning.

Their efforts show a deep commitment to excellence in psychology and in teaching students about the importance and applicability of our field.

As the oldest and largest independent publishing company,Norton has created some of the best- respected and iconoclastic books in modern times.

Many publishing companies were interested in taking a new approach to developing educational products when Sarah and Sheri first discussed this project.

No one from another company asked to do that, but she needed to see if Sarah was a teacher who supported student learning in class.

The constant star that keeps us oriented in the right direction is provided by Sheri's leadership and guidance.

One of the key goals for this textbook was to provide appropriate, accurate, and engaging information about psychology while supporting students' ability to understand the material.

Victoria Reuter, an excellent associate media editor, was a top contender when worked hard with us to design all aspects of the ebook.

We want to thank the teachers we have met at conferences and meetings, where we have exchanged ideas about challenges in teaching and how to address them so that our students have great learning experiences.

Many people think that accidents of using a cell phone while driving happen because the driver has only one hand on the wheel.

When you decided to take a psychology course, you probably didn't think it would deal with issues such as why it is dangerous to use a cell phone while driving.

This text introduces you to current topics, teaches you to think critically about them, and looks at how you can use psychology to improve your daily life.

People believe they can talk on a cell phone and still drive safely, like you saw in the opening story.

The scientific study of mental activity, behavior, and the brain processes that underlie them are what psychology focuses on.

Peer review makes sure published reports describe research studies that are well designed, ethically conducted, and arrive at logical conclusions.

Critical thinking is used to evaluate claims that present evidence from scientific or research based sources.

You will be able to look at some scientific evidence and consider whether you need more information to evaluate the claim being made with that knowledge.

According to recent research in The Learning Tip, listening to Mozart increases critical thinking skills.

Miller suggests that you practice good critical thinking skills by being on the lookout for unreasonable claims.

Do well in school, improve your personal life, and succeed at your job are all ways psychology can help you.

Using active mental processes to work with information is more effective than simply highlighting or rereading textbook material.

Understanding the symptoms of mental health problems and how they can be treated may one day apply to people you know.

In terms of what you study and what career you pursue, psychological concepts can help you make good decisions.

People working in the food industry need to know how human sensory systems process information from environments.

The religious belief that descartes, the mind and the body have a divine and eternal soul was a part of the claim.

Titchener believed that if psychologists could understand the basic elements of conscious experience, they could break it down into its underlying components.

Structuralists were important because they helped develop a science of psychology with its own vocabulary and set of rules.

He said that psychologists who used the structural approach were like people trying to understand a house by studying each brick individually.

The idea of functionalism was based on the work of Charles Darwin, who observed that species change over generations.

Natural selection explains how the human of the mind has evolved to help people adapt to their environments and bear children.

An early school of thought concerned students, all male, dropped out of the class in response, so James tutored Calkins with the adaptive purpose, or function, individually.

She had a more profound effect on psychological disorders because of her experience with the process of psychoanalysis and her father's belief in conversations with influential thinkers of the time.

In the second half of the twentieth century, researchers continued to gather evidence that learning was not easy.

Cognitive psychology is concerned with investigating mental functions such as intelligence, thinking, language, attention, learning, memory, problem solving, and decision making.

The beliefs, values, rules, and customs of a group of people have a positive effect on heart rate and blood pressure.

A social psychologist could explore how participating in sports helps teenagers develop leadership skills by sharing a common language and environment.

Clinical psychologists help people with mental health problems cope with challenges and crises in their professional, academic and personal lives.

They help students with problems that interfere with learning, design age- appropriate curricula, and conduct aptitude achievement tests.

Where they work depends on whether their primary focus is on research, teaching, clinical practice with patients, or applying scientific findings to improve the quality of daily living.

People who study the brain, the mind, and behavior can work in schools, businesses, universities, or clinics.

Some practitioners apply the findings of psychological research to help people in need of mental health treatment, designing safe and pleasant work environments, counseling people on career paths, or helping teachers design better educational environments.

Because psychology is a science, psychologists use specific goals and methods to learn about mental activity, behavior, and the brain processes that underlie them.

The four goals of science can be applied to investigate students' use of active processes to learn material they read in a textbook.

Careful research using the scientific method lets psychologists understand many aspects of using a cell phone while driving.

Scientists, technology developers, and policymakers can use the knowledge from psychological research to create strategies to reduce this dangerous behavior.

The Evaluating Psychology in the Real World feature will help you use the three steps in critical thinking to explore the claim and determine if you should accept it or not.

Because they are scientists, psychologists base their beliefs about behavior and mental processes on observing the world and measuring various aspects of it.

If you want to know if you should accept the claim in the news and on the internet, you need to read the learning tip on p. 7.

Three study participants used blood tests and breathalyzers to measure alcohol levels while talking on the phone.

refining your theory may have the goal of explaining why further predictions and testing people drive worse when using a cell phone.

You or other researchers determine what issues related to the topic need further investigation as part of the scientific method.

If the goal of your research is to describe behavior, you would use one of the descriptive methods to collect data that will test your hypothesis.

These intervals can be as short as seconds or minutes, or as long as years, entire lifetimes, and even across generations.

Imagine having an interviewer around your parents' age ask you to describe intimate aspects of your sex life when you are in your twenties.

A case study of how an individual can become disturbed enough to commit a terrible act is provided by the sandy hook shooting.

A man who was accidentally stabbed through the middle part of the brain with a fencing foil lost the ability to store new memories.

It is difficult to know if the researcher's theory about the cause of the psychological disorder is correct in a clinical case study.

You want to study the relationship between using cell phone research methods and how variables are related in the real and driving outcomes.

People may make wrong conclusions about relationships if they don't consider the directionality and third variable problems.

In an experiment, the dependent variable might be to measure the amount of time it takes participants to stop the car when an obstacle appears in the road.

The definition of driving performance, even measured to determine how it was study, might include how many times the person playing the game crashes because of the manipulation of the independent variable.

Information about the each one is exposed to a condition that requires different use of the cell phone while participants' driving performance would be recorded electronically.

The manipulation of the inde of participants that do not receive the pendent variable comes before the dependent experimental treatment.

A sample of participants that fairly methods let a researcher achieve the goals of control and explanation.

Imagine a driving simulation with a stick shift that is used by participants in the experimental conditions, where they are using a cell phone in different ways.

It would be difficult to determine the true effect of using a cell phone on driving performance because of the pres ence of a confound.

You want to find out how using a cell assigned at random to the control group affects the driving performance of the average driver.

Michael's extra energy was put to good use in sports, especially swimming, and these activities helped him compose himself and teach him self- discipline.

As the symptoms of ADhD make clear, the nervous system is critical for development, mental activity, and behavior.

Other parts of your nervous system are activated when you ride a bicycle, feel fear, or enjoy a double- dip vanilla cone.

The nervous system has three basic functions: (1) to receive sensory input from the world through vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell; (2) to process this information in the brain by paying attention to it, perceiving it, and remembering it; and (3) to respond to the information by acting You can apply these functions to yourself.

The divisions of the nervous system receive sensory input, process it further, and respond to it, which is described in detail across several sections in this chapter.

A learning disability is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to receive, process, store, or respond to information.

Reading, spelling, writing, and even doing math and telling time can be hard with these processing problems.

Many people with learning disabilities have had great success in their lives, such as the actor, Richard Branson, the basketball player, Magic Johnson, and the celebrity chef Jamie oliver.

When you bite into an ice cream cone, the PNS will register the sensory signals and send them to the central nervous system.

The PNS is directed to perform specific behaviors, such as having another bite of the cone, by the CNS after it organizes and evaluates that information.

The human nerve cell system has individual neurons that receive, integrate, and transmit information.

The cell body that lets the neuron transmit longest axons stretches from the spine to the big toes.

An illustrated short story for young children can be organized into three phases of neural communication.

When an action potential arrives at the end of the axon, the terminal buttons release neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that carry information from one neuron to another.

Similar to a lock that only opens with the correct key, each receptor can only be influenced by one type of neurotransmitter.

The postsynaptic neuron fires an action potential if the total amount of excitatory input goes past a certain threshold.

In order to better understand how neurotransmitters affect behavior, researchers often inject agonists or antagonists into animals' brains.

Scientists may want to test the hypothesis that a certain neurotransmitter in a specific brain region leads to increased eating.

The botulism toxin paralyzes muscles that produce wrinkling in certain areas, such as the forehead, in small, less toxic doses.

Epinephrine can cause a sudden burst of energy that seems to take over your whole body.

The fight- or- flight response prepares the body for dealing with threats from the environment by increasing heart rate and perspiration.

The first strong evidence that brain regions perform specialized functions came from the work of the physician and anatomist.

For most of human history, theorists and research regions of the skull were not used to study mental activity as it occurred in different parts of the brain.

The most basic functions of survival include heart rate, breathing, vomiting, swallowing, urination, and orgasm.

The slurred speech and shuffling walk that Muhammad Ali experienced as symptoms of Parkinson's disease were a result of a loss of substantia nigra cells in his midbrain.

A subcortical forebrain structure creates new neural connections within the cerebral cortex for a gateway to the brain for almost all incoming sensory information before each new experience.

A subcortical forebrain structure can remember events from the past but can't regulate bodily functions.

A subcortical forebrain structure, which serves a vital role in our learning, was found to be larger in the brains of emotional taxi drivers in London.

This structure appears to be part of a system that automatically directs your attention to another person's eyes when you are evaluating their facial expression.

Now that you know how the four subcortical structures process information, it's time to learn about the outer layer of your brain.

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for directing and maintaining attention, keeping ideas in mind while distraction bombards us from the outside world, and developing and acting on plans.

Over time, psychologists have learned a lot from studying people whose brains have been damaged by disease or injury.

Gage's psychological impairments eventually led to the recognition that some parts of the brain have specific functions.

The system makes reflexes possible by allowing nerves to process information about the regulation of the heart and sweat glands to be stimulated.

You may have found that your heart beat quickly, your hands started to feel sweaty, your breathing got heavier, and your pupils dilated.

In your own words, explain how the testes and ovaries produce hormones that influence sexual development.

The changes were due to the endocrine system, which is a communication network that influences many aspects of your body.

The system is tested by releasing chemicals that influence sexual development and mental activity.

In early 2013 the legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong admitted to using hormones to gain a competitive advantage.

People are born like undeveloped photographs, but the way they eventually appear can vary based on the development process.

Intelligence, personality, well- being, achievement, Similar identical twins gerald levey and Mark, and aggression were some of the characteristics examined by the researchers.

Losing a hemi left hemisphere and moving the right side of the body as an adult would result in devastating loss of function.

As a local business scrambles to pick up customers of a closed competitor, think of the healthy gray matter.

The signals from the nervous system increase the likelihood that the new neuron will have three basic functions.

When sufficient stimulation is given to the ing neuron, an action potential central nervous system axon occurs.

The first major subdivision of the glands that produce and release hormones carries sensory information from seconds to hours.

We now know that concussions and their associated brain damage can cause short term changes in consciousness, including headaches, dizziness, mental confusion, an inability to focus, difficulty reading, memory problems, extreme mood swings, and even anxiety and depression.

The disease had a terrible effect on Webster's consciousness by impairing his awareness of both his inner mental activity and the outside world.

Consciousness Traumatic Encephalopathy is more than just a theoretical question, it's a reflection of health in the brain, in mental activity, and in behavior.

If you want to apply the global workspace model, you need to give examples from your life of how each of the five regions of your brain process information.

When participants reported seeing a house or face, researchers used f MRi to measure neural responses in their brains.

Neural activity in the brain regions associated with object recognition increased when participants reported seeing a house.

Many athletes have died from the effects of concussions, including the Canadian wrestler Chris Benoit and BMX racer Dave Mirra.

The patient's neural activity appeared similar to the control shown that some people in comas are aware but unable to respond.

Researchers think the woman was able to understand language and respond to the experimenters' requests despite not giving outward signs of awareness.

Over the last several decades, many researchers have explored different ways that unconscious processing during subliminal perception can influence thinking and behavior.

Buying a product is a result of many cognitive processes, and the evidence suggests that subliminal messages have small effects on purchasing behavior.

During the 2000 US presidential election, a television advertisement critical of Al Gore's Medicare plan contained a hidden word.

The pineal tonin as a supplement can help people cope with jet lag and shift work because it influences the production of melatonin.

However, researchers were skeptical when Miss M., a retired nurse, reported that she only slept for about an hour a night until the sun came up.

Before the development of objective methods to assess brain activity, most and is hard to awaken; eeGs reveal large, regular delta waves.

When you really focus your attention on something, or when you close your eyes and relax, brain activity slows and produces the electrical pattern known as alpha waves.

Abrupt noises may be signals from brain mechanisms involved with shutting out the external world and keeping people asleep.

They may involve intense emotions, but rarely taste, smell, or pain, and an uncritical acceptance of illogical events.

This random firing can show issues with parts of the brain that process sensory input.

The sleeping mind tries to make sense of the sensory activity by combining it with stored memories, and the result is a dream.

There are three reasons that sleeping is beneficial to us: restoration of the body, preservation from harm and support for memory and learning.

Think about the last time you demanded physical activity, like helping a friend move or running a long race.

One study found that people who had experienced any type of traumatic brain injury slept about an hour longer per night, and this increased sleepiness lasted at least 18 months.

The amount of sleep an animal gets depends on how much time it needs to get food, how easy it is to hide, and how vulnerable it is to attack.

When research participants slept after learning word lists, their recall was better than in control conditions where they remained awake.

Most studies show that sleep deprivation has little effect on strength, athletic ability, or the performance of complex tasks.

In one study, students who were sleep deprived for just one night showed reduced activity the next day in the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory.

Sleep deprivation contributes to over eating and weight gain by interfering with the body's hunger signals.

The dissociation theory of hypnotism acknowledges the importance of social context, but views it as a truly altered state of consciousness.

Even if the hypnotists are psychological researchers, it seems unlikely that people could alter their brain activity to please them.

It is unlikely that expectations about hypnotism or social pressure will help people feel detached from their pain.

People in the West have become more interested in examining Eastern techniques of creating an altered state of consciousness due to a growing awareness of different cultural and religious practices.

They are meant to expand the mind, bring about feelings of inner peace, and help people deal with tensions and stresses in their lives.

After 16 weeks, the patients who were practicing medicine improved more than the control group on a number of health measures, such as blood pressure, levels of fatty acid and cholesterol, and signs of diabetes.

One study found that the volume of gray matter did not diminish in older adults who practiced meditation.

The woman appears to be overcome with the use of hypnotism and meditation, which are intended to change a person's state with religious ecstasy.

Flow is an altered state of consciousness that you lose track of time, forget about your problems, and fail to notice other things.

Sometimes people get tired of dealing with life's problems and try to make themselves feel better through activities that allow them to escape.

A few alcohol, take drugs, play video games, watch television, surf the Web, and listen to music are all possibilities for producing this altered state of consciousness.

Evidence that meditation programs can help practitioners let go of the regrets of treating substance abuse, sleep or weight issues is needed to do this.

According to the social psychologist Roy Baumeister, people engage in such behaviors because they want to escape their problems.

Drug use or simple entertainment can shift into obsession when a person continually alcohol to create an altered state of consciousness, which is a common way people try to escape their problems.

The company included cocaine in the drink quantities that can lead to paranoia, psychotic behavior, and violence.

The brain damage that comes from slowing down the central nervous system can be seen in the red and yellow areas.

Maybe you know a person who drank a lot of alcohol, experienced a blackout, and can't remember the details.

In many cultures, people view alcohol as the "magic elixir," capable of increasing social skills, sexual pleasure, confidence, and power.

According to the research, drinking after a hard day can increase people's focus on and obsession with their problems.

Hallucinogenic effects can be produced by eating the top part of the peyote cactus or certain types of mushrooms.

MDMA can cause damage to a number of brain regions, particularly the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, according to research on animals.

Studies with humans show evidence of a range of impairments from long- term ecstasy use, especially memory problems and a diminished ability to perform complex tasks.

A relaxed mental state, Deaths from MDMA, and some perceptual and cognitive distortions are produced by this chemical.

Two attendees died after taking most first- time marijuana users do not experience the "high" felt by more expe MDMA sold as Molly.

The medical use of marijuana of addiction is controversial due to the possibility that chronic use can cause health problems or person experiences anxiety, tension, lead to abuse of the drug.

People can become psychologically dependent on behaviors, such as shopping or gambling, if they become addicted to substances that create altered state of consciousness.

It is possible that the adverse physical side effects of an inherited tendency to seek out strong sensations may predict behaviors.

Teenagers want to fit in, even with groups that society sees as gambling, to the point where their lives are not normal.

The basis for how a person experiences a stage is based on dreams that represent unconscious attempts to fulfill wishes.

Patterns of brain activity suggest that people who have been hypnotized experience a shift to an absorbed state and are not faking it.

Drug use can alter states of consciousness and lead to addiction and even death, as seen in the current opiate that change the way they think, feel, and act.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job prospects for occupations involved in treating and preventing substance abuse are projected to grow by up to 20 percent.

Roadways need to be designed to give you insights into peoples' lives, such as the so that drivers are not distracted and can attend to potential reasons they seek out and use particular drugs.

concussions harm the brain and negatively affect mental activ support and counsel addicts, to designing safe roadways and ity and behavior.

The director of the movie, Richard Linklater, would ask me about similar experiences that I had had to what Mason might be going through, and the different dynamics between me and friends, girlfriends or family members.

Mason and his parents struggle to find who they are, improve themselves, or make strong emotional connections with others in the movie.

During the germinal period, the egg and sperm form a nucleus that can be found in the wall of the uterus by the end of two weeks.

Modern medical technology has made it possible for a fetus to live outside of the A Case of Extreme Prematurity womb.

There is evidence that fathers' behaviors-- including diet, toxin exposure, and amount of stress experienced-- can affect fetal development.

The take- home message is that life experiences and environmental circumstances can be passed along in sperm as epigenetic information.

The brain can support an individual's rich physical, socio- emotional, and cognitive head if it has minimal exposure to language, touch, and social interaction.

Babies are born with innate, unlearned reflexes that help them find food in order to grow.

A sequence of steps that usually occur within a predictable range of ages is the process of developing motor skills.

For an example of nature's effects on development, consider that Brooke Greenberg could not walk because of her biological deficits.

The adaptive visual abilities of the infant allow them to focus on surrounding tissue in order to eat.

Babies can see in a way that is similar to adults if they have access to rich visual experiences and the brain and parts of the eye develop normally.

In order to develop these connections, infants behave in ways that motivate adults to care for them over time and across situations.

Between 4 and 6 weeks of age, infants display a first social smile, which creates powerful feelings of love in caregivers.

The attachment style for infants who are unwilling to explore an unfamiliar great deal when the caregivers leaves the room, but still seek and reject caring contact environment but seem to have mixed feelings when the caregivers comes back, may be called the attachment style for infants who are unwilling to explore an unfamiliar great deal They cry attached infants have learned that their caregivers are not available when they need them the most and that they are only available when they are distressed.

Interventions can help caregivers learn the skills that increase the likelihood of forming a secure attachment.

This and other studies show that infants begin to read the intentions of other people first to determine if they have developed the year of life.

Children as young as 2 to 7 years of age can begin to think about objects that are not in their immediate view.

According to Piaget, children at this stage can't imagine the logical outcomes of performing certain actions on certain objects.

The child will know that the glasses hold the same amount of liquid when they are asked which one contains more water.

People gradually shift from one way of thinking to another, so they can exhibit skills from different stages at the same time.

A rapid, hormonally driven increase in height and weight is an obvious dividing line between childhood and puberty.

You will learn how puberty changes affect the sexual desires of adolescents in tive organs and genitals.

The male and female external genitals and internal sex organs mature, menstruation begins in girls, and sperm develops in boys.

We don't know much about the effects of environment on puberty in boys because they don't have an easily identifiable pubertal event like menstruation.

The culture in which we are raised and our beliefs about personal characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation are some of the factors that influence how we define ourselves.

As adolescents seek to understand how they fit into the world and to imagine what kind of person they will become later in life, they build on the preceding stages.

In helping the family adjust to the stress of life as immigrants in a foreign country, the child may feel additional pressures, but may also develop important skills in communication, negotiation, and caregiving.

A child who develops a bicultural identity is likely to be happier, be better adjusted, and have fewer problems in adult social and economic roles.

Even 19-year- old Brooke Greenberg, who was frozen similar interests and values, had friends from the chapter opener.

Negotiating a pathway to a stable identity requires breaking away from childhood beliefs by questioning and challenging parental and societal ideas.

According to Kohlberg, advanced moral reasoning includes considering the greater good for all people and giving less thought to personal wishes or fear of punishment.

Intervene in a calm and respectful manner, separate the children, make sure they are safe, and get any needed medical help.

Help the person who is being bullied to realize the behavior is wrong, to understand the motivation for it, and to reduce or put an end to it.

For a long time, developmental psychologists focused on childhood and adolescence as if the most important aspects of development happened by age 20.

In recent decades, researchers working in a wide range of fields have shown that important changes occur throughout adulthood.

The average life expectancy in the United States increased by more than 30 years after 1900, thanks to modern medicine and improvements in hygiene.

The world is currently facing an obese epidemic, where people may be the first to live shorter life spans than their parents did.

Popular entertainers such as Samuel L. Jackson and the Rolling Stones are performing into their 70s and beyond, bucking common stereotypes of older people.

The cosmetics and plastic surgery industries are booming as we try to cover up superficial physical changes such as the graying of hair and the wrinkling of skin.

We can resolve the conflict with a sense of despair if we have many regrets, lack close relationships, or are angry about getting older.

A recent study of older adults found that life satisfaction increased over an 8-year period.

Around the world, the vast majority of people marry at some point in their lives or form some type of permanent bond with a relationship partner.

Lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals have been found to have significant physical and mental health benefits from marriage.

According to studies, men may benefit from marriage if their wives make sure they smoke less, eat better and go to the doctor.

Those who report the most satisfaction have enough economic resources, share decision making and believe that marriage should be a lifelong commitment.

Seeing a baby's first smile, watching the first few steps, and hearing the child's first words are powerful rewards for parents.

Couples should have serious and detailed conversations about all aspects of their lives and how they will approach each task after the baby is born, according to the Cowans.

Having a baby does not bring partners closer together or solve their problems, if they report their early married life as chaotic or negative.

As people grow older, they adjust their priorities to emphasize emotionally meaningful events, experiences, and goals.

Older adults want to savor their final years by putting their time and effort into meaningful and rewarding experiences.

If they have worked hard to maintain their physical health, their social ties, and their cognitive capacities, this result is likely.

The frontal lobes, which play an important role in certain types of memory and many other cognitive skills, tend to shrink as people get older.

Climbing stairs or driving at night may become more dangerous due to the fact that our sensitivity to visual contrast decreases.

For example, decades of research show that when people challenge their brains by learning new tasks, working puzzles, reading, remaining socially active, and maintaining physical exercise at least three days per week, their risk of dementia declines significantly.

Alzheimer's disease and small strokes affect the brain's blood supply and are the major causes for older adults.

This chapter ends with a reminder that all aspects of human and the body are associated with staying development because of a complex interplay of influences.

The social support we receive and the choreographed dance between nature and nurture affect how we experience each phase of the life span.

Children's cognitive feeding and social bonding can be encouraged through infants' taste abilities which are more advanced with time.

When physical changes turn children into young cognitive development, it leads to more sophisticated moral adults.

In the brain, the moral decisions based on complex reasoning, the value of life, and the greater good for all people mature more slowly than emotional processing.

Understanding one's gender, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, and relationships with parents and peers are some of the factors involved in developing an identity in adolescence confusion.

Developing long- term relationships during early adulthood can help maintain physical and psycho having children and rewarding careers.

Children learn to walk after they can stand the front yard as Mary and Eric play in view.

He decided to adopt a child because he wanted to and also talking to a friend in the store made a positive contribution to the future.

In April of last year, mayor Bill de Blasio announced a plan to provide free, full- time preschool for all New York City 3- year- olds.

Beyond daycare and preschool, teachers and administrators can help elementary activities by enriching and engaging with knowledge of human development.

You can find job descriptions, education requirements, salaries, and more at the Bureau of labor Statistics.

In each case, the physical stimuli are detected, the sensory information is transduced, and the neurons fire action potentials.

If you see the color of a traffic light or get splashed with grapefruit juice, your sensations and perception allow you to respond appropriately.

It makes sense that your sensory system responses will diminish over time if stimuli are presented continuously.

The theory says that color perception results from activity across three different types of cones.

It can be understood by considering the response of cones to different wavelengths, but how the brain converts light waves to the experience of color is quite complex.

A series of laws were proposed to explain how our brains group the perceived features of a visual scene into organized wholes.

The pilots decided to reduce altitude to give passengers a better view of the landscape because they thought they were flying over the Ross Ice Shelf.

The stroboscopic motion is a result of the direction specific neurons adapting to the slightly different images presented in rapid succession.

In other words, all the special effects, fancy camera work, and fast editing you see in today's movies are ways of manipulating a very simple perceptual trick.

People who work in factories are more likely to experience hearing loss if they don't wear ear protection.

The sound waves produced by the eardrum make it vibrate, so listening with ear buds adds 6-9 decibels of volume.

The temporal pattern matches the sound frequencies because different groups of hair cells take turns firing.

A piccolo with a high Frequency of 4,000 Hz causes the basilar membrane to move at the base, by the window, and so it stimulates hair cells in that location.

Regardless of whether you like a grilled steak, chow mein with mustard greens, or a spicy salsa, your appreciation of a certain food depends on more than taste alone.

Place a drop of blue food coloring on your tongue, then put a piece of paper with a hole in it on top of it.

Supertasters tend to be thin and have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease because they dislike the taste of fat and sugar.

The importance of smell to us in our daily lives is made clear by the fact that we spend a lot of money on fragrances, deodorants, and the like.

It is possible that each odorant stimulates several types of receptors and the pattern of activity across them determines the olfactory perception (Lledo, Gheusi, &Vincent, 2005; Zou, Li, & Buck, 2005; Figure 5.26).

You will probably find that people can't remember the smell or the pattern of activity in half the time.

The hand and arm are parts of the body that are located near each other and are processed in adjacent brain areas.

Children with a rare genetic disorder that leaves them sensitive to pain die young, no matter how carefully they are supervised.

The benefits of pain medication can be experienced by the bones and joints of people who have suffered from a severe toothache or need surgery.

Swedish researchers found that listening to music helped patients relax and reduce pain.

Before you can experience transmission of that information to your brain, you need more than a small amount of physical stimulation.

In visual sensation, to organize information into wholes, and (3) through bottom- rods and cones are the sensoryreceptors that transduce light up and top- down processing.

The four types of object constancy are figure and ground, by using grouping principles, as well as size, shape, color, and lightness.

The way wolves have learned not to prey on domestic livestock is a striking example of conditioned taste aversion.

The wolves learned to associate eating sheep with becoming ill, just as you now avoid food that made you sick in the past.

It makes possible our basic abilities, such as walking and speaking, and our complex ones, such as flying airplanes, performing surgery, or maintaining intimate relationships.

Learning affects many aspects of daily life, such as music, dress, social rules, and cultural values.

Perhaps you can hear the hum of a light, a computer learning requires understanding how two or more fan whirring, or music playing nearby.

The idea that long term potentiation is involved in learning and memory is supported by a lot of evidence.

The salivary reflex is an automatic and unlearned response that occurs when food is presented to a hungry animal or human.

To investigate the digestion system, Pavlov created an apparatus that measured the amount of saliva in a dog's mouth when different types of food were put in it.

Ivan Pavlov, the white- haired man pictured here with his colleagues and one of his canine subjects, conducted ground-breaking work on classical conditioning.

A metronome does not cause salivation because it helps musicians keep time to music by making clicking sounds.

As you watch the movie and see the woman descend into the basement in the middle of the night, you have a feeling of fear.

Classical conditioning relies on the metronome's role in predicting the food to alert the dog that it is coming.

When you watch a horror movie, pay attention to the way the music gets louder just before a scary part begins, and notice how it makes you feel.

Preparedness helps explain why animals, including humans, tend to fear potentially dangerous things rather than objects that pose little threat.

Skinner came up with the term reinforcer to describe a situation in which food makes the animal respond and increases the likelihood that the response will be repeated.

Operant conditioning is believed to be the behavior of studying, eating, and driving on the correct side of the road.

In operant conditioning, giving the reinforcer before the animal shows appropriate behavior doesn't lead to learning.

You give the dog a treat or praise it for a behavior that looks like rolling over, such as lying down.

If a student is given a failing grade after admitting to cheating on an exam, he may associate the punishment with being honest rather than with the original offense.

Most psychologists agree with Parents Should Avoid the Use of Skinner's recommendation that reinforcement is a better way to teach desirable behavior than positive punishment.

Taking away cell phone or internet access seems to be more effective at decreasing unwanted behaviors than other forms of punishment.

Positive reinforcement is more effective at increasing the likelihood of engaging in better behaviors than any form of punishment, according to many psychologists.

To teach people to be more productive at work, to save energy, and to drive more safely are some of the ways in which conditioning strategies are used.

Extra Operant Conditioning recess time or fun activities can be exchanged for Biology and Cognition Influence token.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than half of adults meet the goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day.

For example, if you need a new person to give the reinforcement, then make that every yoga class you attend, you will earn one song from iTunes.

If you don't want to give yourself a penny for every hundred steps, choose a reinforcer that is genuinely appealing.

It takes more than simple reinforcement to teach someone to play football, eat with chopsticks, or perform complex dance steps.

The question comes up frequently in relation to violent TV shows, movies, and video games that are common in our culture.

Within a few days of birth, human newborns will model actions seen in others, such as sticking out the tongue and making facial expressions.

Three years after the study began, children who played a lot of violent video games showed an increase in aggressive behavior.

Anderson said that data used in the new study has been used in the past to make connections between violent video games and aggressive behavior.

If other researchers were allowed to analyze video games, they would have direct, linear data to see if they find the same result.

Movies glamorize the habit by showing images of smokers as mature, cool, sexy, and different from how they see their parents.

In the first version of the control condition, the adult had no idea that smoking is a mature, cool, sexy behavior.

The fact that mirror neurons can help us explain and predict the behavior of others may be the reason for this response.

Food and water, survival maps, and other primary reinforcers show that learn by satisfying biological needs.

Secondary reinforcers, such as ing, can occur as a result of cognitive processes in the brain that money does not satisfy biological needs, but their importance is not observed in outward behavior.

When she sees her boyfriend for the first time, her heart beats so fast that she stops playing a video game.

Hoss starts barking when a phone rings even though he has never bought plastic storage containers for a television show.

Rogers was a bartender in New York City, but he also did stand up comedy and hosted a quiz show in the bar for many years.

In this chapter, you will learn about the tools that helped Rogers succeed, as you explore what memory is and how it works.

To describe how you store, retrieve, and decode a specific memory, apply the three phases of information processing.

In the first phase of creating a memory, your brain changes information into a neural code that it can use.

As you read this textbook, the words and pictures you see on the page will be used to create neural activity in your brain.

Think of this phase as bringing to your mind a previously stored memory when you need it, such as for answering a question on a psychology quiz.

In study unit 3.3, attention is the focus of mental resources on information to allow further processing.

If a classmate's computer or phone changed color recently, that could make it difficult for you to follow what the instructor is saying.

It is possible for your attention to be distracted by external book, text, surf the Internet, and stimuli or your own thoughts.

The Edward Cherry studies used a shadowing task where courses were put down and participants wore headphones to try to pay attention in class.

Other things you see, smell, taste, or touch can grab your attention, such as the person with purple hair.

Stimuli that receive a different message in cause emotional reactions are more likely to capture your attention because they provide important information about potential threats in your environment.

The model suggests that four different processes are needed in order to move information from one memory store to another.

Instead, focus on making a sketch to help you link ideas to images, create attention on the material to put the ideas into your own flowchart to show how some process unfolds over time, words, think about the meaning of the material, consider or drawing a concept map that shows the relationships how The picture in this feature is a map of your life to make it relevant to you.

You may have been relieved to find that you could repeat the last few tion from the five senses in close proximity to their original sensory formats.

After that brief period, the trace of the memory in sensory storage faded and signaled which row of 4 letters was no longer accessible.

You continue to see that using working memory to chunk information increases even when you blink because of the visual duration and capacity of short- term storage.

This mechanism allows you to repeat a phone number so that you can keep more of the digits for a longer period of time.

This type of storage allows you to remember nursery rhymes from childhood, the meanings and spellings of words you rarely use, what you had for lunch yesterday, and so on.

The research suggests that recency effects are due to retrieving information from short term storage.

College students who read this paragraph knowing it was about washing clothes found it easy to recall.

Allan Collins and Elizabeth Loftus proposed a network model in which distinctive features are linked in a way that identifies the item.

The knowledge that the object is a fire engine, rather than a car, a vacuum cleaner, or a cat, comes from the resulting activation pattern.

Long term memories include remembering how to ride a bicycle, recalling what you ate for dinner last night, and knowing that the capital of Canada is Ottawa.

In the past few decades, most psychologists have come to view long- term memory as composed of several interacting systems.

The study units discuss the various long- term storage systems so that you can understand how they work together to let you remember everything from your first grade teacher to the main ideas in this chapter.

It was impossible for Molai Temporal son to lead a normal life because of the severe convulsions he suffered as a young man.

Researchers discovered that different memory systems are associated with long- term storage after studying H.M.'s anterograde amnesia.

His ability to learn new motor skills allowed him to work at a factory, where he mounted cigarette lighters on cardboard cases.

H.M. showed that advertisers rely on implicit memory to influence your purchasing deci drawing task.

When riding a bicycle, think about the types of implicit memory that involve motor skills and behavioral habits.

According to the research H.M. participated in, brain damage to the hippocampus can affect explicit memories that you purposely retrieve and describe.

implicit memories that you display through behavior, such as mirror drawing and how to ride a bike, may not be affected by brain damage to the hippocampus.

You can use sticky notes to remind you to do things, set your cell phone alarm, or use an electronic calendar.

The actual storage of memories happens in the brain regions that are engaged in perception, processing, and analysis of the material being learned.

Policymakers need to more critically evaluate the claims of brain-training companies and require more rigorous standards of evidence for the benefits of these programs.

The idea that once memories are activated, they need to be consolidated again for long- term storage was developed by Joseph LeDoux.

The environment where learning took place provides a cue that aids access to the information, according to this study.

The research on this topic was inspired by the observation that people with alcoholism often can't find important objects, such as paychecks.

There was a loaf of bread in your bed, and a waterfall of milk flowing meet, held at Dart Neuroscience in San down your curtains, as shown by contestants in the extreme Memory Tournament.

A three of clubs, a nine of hearts, and a nine of spades is enough to invoke a picture of a Brazilian lingerie model in a Biggles biplane.

People often struggle to provide a word that means "Patronage bestowed on a relative, in business or politics" or "an astronomy instrument for finding position."

Over the past 15 years, more than 600 children have died in the United States because they were left unattended in hot cars.

Unexpected death of a loved one, a physical or sexual assault, military combat, a car crash, a natural disaster, or seeing someone badly injured or killed can lead to post traumatic stress disorder.

The point is that a highly emotional experience and heightened amygdala activity produce very powerful and vivid memories.

These vivid memories seem like a flash photo, capturing the circumstances in which you first learned of a surprising and consequential event.

Three years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, a follow-up study was conducted of more than 3,000 people in various cities across the United States.

In the early 1970s, a series of important studies by Elizabeth Loftus and colleagues showed that misleading information can affect a person's memory for an event.

The nature of thought is considered in this chapter as how you represent ideas in your mind and how you use them to engage in reasoning, decision making, and problem solving.

The basis of human thought, intelligence, and the ability to solve complex problems of everyday life are formed by both symbolic and analogical representations.

Collections of ideas, prior knowledge, and experiences are mental structures that help you organize information and guide your thought and behavior.

People underestimate how happy they will be for positive events, such as getting married, having children, or having their candidate win an election.

They underestimate negative events such as losing a job, being diagnosed with a serious medical illness, and breaking up with a romantic partner, which will affect them in the future.

People tend to make decisions based on assumptions about their future emotions that may be incorrect.

This effect was demonstrated in a study where shoppers at a grocery store were presented with a display of 24 or 6 different types of jam.

In the long run, college graduates who are maximizers are less satisfied with their career choices because they land jobs with much higher salaries than their satisficing counterparts.

This finding seems to support the importance of genetics in the development of intelligence, but fails to consider how people interact with and alter their environments.

Pregnancies, family, social class, education, cultural beliefs, drug and alcohol use, and other environmental influences can lead to lower intelligence.

The Every Student Succeeds Act, signed by President Obama in 2015, encourages the states to give achievement tests to children under the age of 18.

The Binet- Simon test was modified in 1919 by the psychologist Lewis Terman, who established average scores for each age for American children.

To find out if you should accept the claim in this people being judged, read the learning tip and follow the steps: believe them.

Psychometric tests can be used to measure IQ based on the idea that intelligence is a single factor.

Sir Francis Galton believed that intelligence was related to the speed of neural responses and the sensitivity of sensory systems.

When you are being tested with two components that are bombarded with competing information or other distraction, memory paying attention and completing a task is especially strong.

The relationship between general intel case and staying focused makes sense since you have to solve math operations and accomplish novel tasks.

The inability to learn seemingly basic tasks is a great site briefly, then completed the picture largely from memory.

When you hear that members of Mensa and Supreme Court justices have high IQs, you probably don't care.

Over the last century, the idea that genetics can explain differences in intelligence scores between races has been controversial.

It is important to discuss controversial and sensitive topics with an eye to being as fair to all sides as possible, as claims that some groups are superior to others require close scrutiny.

There are minority groups that are the targets of discrimination, such as the burakumin in Japan, and the Dalits in India, and they have lower intelligence scores on average.

According to the psychologist, stereotype threat causes distraction and anxiety, interfering with performance by reducing the capacity of short- term memory and undermines confidence and motivation.

Two general conclusions were reached by Steven Spencer and Gregory Walton after researching many stereotype threat studies involving a number of different groups from several countries.

In another study, encouraging African American students to write about their personal values appeared to protect them from being stereotyped.

The women in the control group who were not told the negative stereotypes were more active in neural networks associated with mathematical learning.

These representations allow for efficient thinking about groups of people, thought, intelligence, and the ability to solve complex problems.

The collection of ideas, prior knowledge, and KEY TERMS experience help organize information and guide thought thinking.

A narrow suspension bridge with a low rail swayed 230 feet above raging, rocky rapids.

They assumed their fast idea that people can mistake arousal for attraction has been supported by other heartbeats and increased sweating.

According to The Methods of Psychology, arousal may be related to being attracted to the female, as well as other factors, such as feeling very happy and excited, or not being scared by crossing the high bridge.

Different theories of emotion focus on the idea that you feel something based on how your body or brain responds to a situation.

Your body developed in ways that confirmed the physical aspects of your maleness or femaleness as you grew older.

The release of the sex hormones and the production of the cells that males use for sexual individual's environment help determine physical traits.

According to a study of various cultures in Turkey, Malaysia, and Wales, when girls have not been given information to prepare them for menarche, they tend to experience the event fearfully.

Most adolescent males experience semenarche with a mix of pleasure and confu sion, but their reactions depend on how prepared they are for the event.

You can organize a chart that shows what you consider to be more masculine and feminine with respect to clothes, hair, jobs, traits, and habits.

In ways that can be helpful or harmful, gender schemas divide advances in the scientific and social world into two categories: what is masculine and what is feminine.

The process of creating gender schemas begins at 6 months of age, when infants have categorized men's and women's voices as low- and high-pitched.

Boys play with boats and building blocks while girls don't, which can result in rigid gender stereotypes.

If the children were to meet girls with short hair, who wore masculine clothes, or who played with building blocks, they would update their genders.

This information leads people to develop a sense of gender identity, which affects how they think, feel, and act.

The information concerns gender roles, which are all the positions, characteristics, and interests considered normal and expected for boys/men or for girls/women in a particular culture.
