Module 6 Journal: AP PsychologyGazzaniga, M.S. (1967): The split brain in man. - ANS-He conducted research on how
the brain enables mind and behavior by noting what split-brained patients were able to
do as a result of their condition. He also noted the physical and emotional differences in
those with and without spilt brains.
Rosenzweir, M.R., Bennett, E.L., and Diamond, M.C. (1972): Brain changes in response
to experience. - ANS-They discovered, through their research, that the anatomy of the
brain in an enriched environment is thicker and heavier than the brain that had suffered
from poor condition.
Bouchard, T., Lykken, D., McGue, M., Segal, N., and Tellegen, A. (1990): Sources of
human psychological differences. - ANS-There are five personality factors from the
five-factor model that are at a 50% rate of heritability through many cultures. They are
openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Variations
in personality traits are about 25%-50% inherited, as the studies of genetics and
personality indicated. Environmental influences have been known to account for about
half of the variations in personality traits.
Gibson, E.J., and Walk, R.D. (1960): The 'visual cliff'. - ANS-They placed an infant on a
specially built table so it seemed as if there was a drop when there was really just a
glass that could be crawled on. This was when created as a way to test if infants
understood depth perception. There was no drop, however, the infants were proven to
understand depth perception because they refused to crawl to the deep side, even
though their mom encouraged them to do so.
Fantz, R.I. (1961): The origin of form perception. - ANS-Newborns have a visual
preferences at birth. They seem to prefer to look at three dimensional instead of two
dimensional items. Mostly, a human face is the preferred visual stimulus. They have
also preferred human voices. Both human voices and faces allow for an easier way for
infants to form relationships with their caregivers and developing language later on in
life.
Aserinsky, E., and Kleitman, N. (1953): Regularly occurring periods of eye mobility and
concomitant phenomena during sleep. - ANS-People's eyes move rapidly during REM
sleep. Non-REM sleep is a much deeper, more restful kind of sleep. During this stage,
the body is free to move and kick. An EEG allows scientists to record the brain wave
