Heat
Total kinetic energy of all particles present in a given substance
1 of 39
Temperature
Average kinetic energy of particles in a system
2 of 39
Factors Affecting The Rate Of Chemical Reactions
Temperature, concentration, pressure, surface area of solids, catalyst
3 of 39
Collision Theory
States: for a chemical reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide
4 of 39
Equilibria
When the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates in closed container
5 of 39
Dynamic Equilibria
A state of balance between continuing processes
6 of 39
Le Chatelier's Principle
If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will move in the direction that tends to oppose the change
7 of 39
OIL RIG
Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain
8 of 39
Halogen
Any of the elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine or astatine
9 of 39
Steps In A Chain Reaction
Initiation, Propogation & Termination
10 of 39
Causes Of MPD
Trauma in one’s past
11 of 39
Improvements (T & C)
Observe Eve within her home environment, Observe lots of people with MPD to see if they switch, Use impartial observers as well as T & C, Conduct same tests on normal people at different times
12 of 39
Ethics (T & C)
Treated more of a subject than a patient, also recognised the dilemma of deciding what their involvement should be in helping their patient, moral problems with ‘killing’ one or more of the personalities
13 of 39
Improvements (G)
Increase number of observers used, Sample include more females & recruited from other areas, Gamblers use their own money
14 of 39
Aim Of Sperry
To investigate the effects of hemisphere deconnection & to show that each hemisphere has different functions
15 of 39
Method Used By Sperry
Natural/quasi experiment
16 of 39
Sample Used By Sperry
11 'split-brain' patients (they were patients who had undergone disconnection of the cerebral hemispheres)
17 of 39
IV & DV (S)
IV was whether a person had hemisphere deconnection or not & the DV was the participants performance on the tasks
18 of 39
Corpus Callosum
A broad band of nerve fibres joining the two hemispheres of the brain
19 of 39
Epilepsy
A neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions
20 of 39
Lateralisation Of Function
The distribution of functions across the two hemispheres of the brain
21 of 39
EEG
The recording of electrical activity along the scalp
22 of 39
NREM Sleep
Non-REM Sleep
23 of 39
REM Sleep
Rapid eye movement sleep
24 of 39
1 & 2 Stages Of Sleep
1. beginning of, & is a relatively light stage of sleep, 2. lasts for approx. 20 minutes & brain produces bursts of rapid, rhythmic brain wave activity (sleep spindles)
25 of 39
3 & 4 Stages Of Sleep
3. people become less responsive, also a transitional period between light sleep, 4. REM period most dreaming occurs, REM sleep is characterized by eye movement, increased respiration rate &increased brain activity
26 of 39
Aim Of D & K
To investigate the relationship between eye movements & dreaming
27 of 39
Method Used By D & K
Lab Experiment
28 of 39
Sample Used By D & K
9, 7 adult males & 2 adult females. 5 were studied intensively
29 of 39
Improvements (D & K)
Observe participants in their own home, Also just use observers rather than look at REM, Increase controls over what they can eat & drink & also things like activity levels, Use natural light to wake rather than bell
30 of 39
Hippocampus
A small, curved formation in the brain that plays an important role in the limbic system
31 of 39
VBM
A neuroimaging analysis technique that allows investigation of focal differences in brain anatomy
32 of 39
Pixel-Counting
Number of pixels in each image
33 of 39
Limbic System
A complex system of nerves & networks in the brain, involving areas concerned with instinct & mood, controls the basic emotions & drives
34 of 39
Spatial Navigation
The ability to navigate between focusable elements
35 of 39
Aim Of MEA
To investigate whether changes could be detected in the brains of London taxi drivers & to further investigate the functions of the hippocampus in spatial memory
36 of 39
Method Used By MEA
Quasi / Lab experiment
37 of 39
Sample Used By MEA
16 adult male, right-handed black cab taxi drivers
38 of 39
Improvements (MEA)
Conduct longitudinal study on drivers by testing them as soon as they apply for their licence & then again every year, including females in sample, Could conduct a brain scan whilst participants were conducting some sort of spatial memory task to see
