PSYCH 5425: Intro fMRI

Discover the intricacies of associative learning in psychology. Differentiate between concepts like classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Gain insights into how our brains form patterns and shape responses based on experiences.

This video explores Jean Piaget's theories of child development, specifically focusing on Concrete Operational and Formal Operational Thinking stages and illustrating their distinctions through the Pendulum Experiment.

Discover the essential process of neural pruning in brain development, distinct from creating new connections, managing neural waste, or increasing brain weight. Uncover how this natural "clean-up" refines our neural network, making our brains more efficient in processing information. Explore the impact of neural pruning on cognitive growth and the interaction between genetics and environment in brain development.

Ester's perception is influenced by binocular cues aiding in depth judgement. Her decision to investigate hinges on signal detection theory discerning significance in stimuli. Her actions are swayed by perceptual set based on past experiences and her balance managed by the vestibular sense comes into play. The gate-control theory sheds light on her pain perception after the fall.

Discover how texture gradients shape our depth perception both indoors and outdoors. Explore how various environmental patterns provide depth cues. Understand the blend of Gestalt principles and depth cues in shaping our visual experience.
