2. behavioral- behavior towards something and how we handle our behavior, ex. using alcohol to change
behavior, fear of flying. Approach- positive reinforcement, breathing techniques.
3. psychodynamic- psychoanalytic-helps clients understand their emotions and unconscious patterns of
behavior. ex. childhood
4. humanistic- positive, focus on what drives humans to grow, change, and develop, motivation. Capable
of solving problems as long as they have support.
5. cognitive- framing the problem, use behavioral techniques
6. evolutionary- fight or flight response, hereditary
7. sociocultural- look at how a persons culture influences them. Social norms in different cultures- might
be appropriate in some cultures but not others.
Neuron - answer✔1. Dendrite- branch like structures that receive signals and receptors from other
cells/neurons
2. Cell body (soma)- organizes and keeps the cell functional, processes info received from dendrites
3. Axon- carry electrical chemical response that communicate to the brain and other parts of the body,
grows over time
4. Axon terminal- sends message to next neuron, allows signal to pass, cell to cell communication.
5. Cell membrane- protects the cell
6. Myelin sheath- increases the speed of the signal
Medulla - answer✔automated processes; the base of the brainstem; controls heartbeat and breathing
Cerebellum - answer✔controls fine motor skills (balance, coordinated muscle, movements, motor
memory
White matter (of cerebral cortex) - answer✔axons communicating, composed of nerve fibers going to
and coming from the cortex
structural brain imaging - answer✔- Computerized axial tomography (cat); Diagnose muscle and bone
disorders (tumors, fractures, blood clots, infections)
-Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); look at conditions that can affect soft tissue such as tumors and
brain disorders. Uses magnetic field and radio waves to take picture.
Cerebral cortex - answer✔Your cerebrum divides your brain into two halves called hemispheres. The
hemispheres are attached by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum(middle of
hemispheres). Can be divided into 4 lobes.Made up of gray matter (cell bodies and dendrites) that
covers white matter. Outer layer of cerebrum. Left and right hemispheres.
-have wrinkles to store more dendrites
Cerebrum - answer✔Area of the brain responsible for all voluntary activities of the body. Largest part of
the brain. Inlcudes parts above and forward of cerebellum
functional brain imaging - answer✔- position emission tomography (PET)- Involves injection of isotope.
The injection will collect into areas of the body with higher activity which will show us where the disease
or problem is.
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI)- Measures the small changes in blood flow that occur
with brain activity.
- EEG- measure the electrical activity of the brain. A number of electrodes are applied to your scalp. Can
diagnose: epilepsy, sleep disorders and brain tumours.
Occipital lobes - answer✔-visual processing
-contra laterality; applies to most areas of the brain
