Neural communication involves two kinds of signals

A high-amplitude, high-frequency sound wave is perceived as ____.

These studies document the behavior of people or animals in their natural setting

This part of the neuron receives messages from other neurons

Sound waves are funneled by the outer ear into the auditory canal, where they push against this structure in waves

The variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show an effect

Chemical signals that are pushed into the synaptic gap

According to the Gestalt Theory this rule of thumbs states perception will “fill in the blanks” to make object identification easier

A mathematical average of all scores on that variable

A subcortical structure that participates in the regulation of thirst, temperature, hunger, sexual behavior, and aggression

The internal rule people use to decide whether to report a stimulus

The extent to which an operational measure is consistent across time and/or observers

This chemical increases activity in brain areas supporting alertness and vigilance
