cue is to binocular cue
Psychology - CORRECT ANSWERS-A scientific discipline that studies behavior
and mental processes.
Science - CORRECT ANSWERS-Any discipline that bases its legitimacy on
systematic observation and provable hypotheses rather than on intuition or
"common sense."
Mental processes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Private, internal states and
operations such as thoughts, feelings and perceptions that cannot be seen or
measured directly, but must be inferred from observable behavior.
Structuralism - CORRECT ANSWERS-An early psychological approach,
developed by Wilhelm Wundt, which sought to understand the mind through
analysis of its basic elements, determined through controlled introspection.
somatic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS-The part of the peripheral
nervous system that carries messages from the sense organs to the central
nervous system and from the central nervous system to the skeletal
muscles.
autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS-The part of the peripheral
nervous system that regulates the actions of internal body organs, such as
heartbeat.
sympathetic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS-The part of the
autonomic nervous system that prepares the body to respond to
psychological or physical stress.
parasympathetic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS-The part of the
autonomic nervous system that promotes bodily maintenance and energy
conservation and storage under nonstressful conditions.
One advantage of naturalistic observation is that the researcher can
examine behavior - CORRECT ANSWERS-in a normal and realistic setting.
