and not on mental processes specialist who tries to explain behavior in terms of biological factors such as electrical and chemical activities in the nervous system the effects of drugs and hormones genetics and evolutionary pressures who can record data without knowing what the researcher has predicted obligation to present evidence to support one s claim thorough description of a single

knowledge and dealing with knowledge specialist who studies thought processes and the acquisition of knowledge specialist who compares different animal species group treated in the same way as the experimental group except for the procedure that the experiment is designed to test group chosen because of its ease of study measure of the relationship between two variables which are both

Determinism Developmental Psychologist Double Blind Study Dualism Ergonomist outside the investigator s control mathematical estimate of the relationship between two variables ranging from 1 perfect positive relationship to 0 no linear relationship to 1 perfect negative relationship procedure in which investigators measure the correlation between two variables without controlling either of them someone trained to help people with educational vocational marriage health related and other decisions a psychologist who compares the behavior of people from different cultures groups of people from at least two cultures process of deriving a conclusion from premises already accepted cues that tell a subject what is expected of him or her and what the experimenter hopes to find item that an experimenter measures to determine how changes in the independent variable affect it mathematical summaries of results such as measures of the average and the amount of variation assumption that all behavior has a cause or determinant in the observable world specialist who studies the behavioral capacities of different ages and how behavior changes with age study in which neither the observer nor the subjects know which subjects received which treatment view that the mind is separate from the brain psychologist with engineering skills who works to facilitate the operation of machinery so that the average person can use it as efficiently and as safely as possible Evolutionary Psychologist Experimental Group Experimenter Bias Experiments Extrasensory Perception ESP Falsifiable Forensic Psychologist Free Will Functionalism Hypothesis Illusory Correlation Independent Variable Induction one who tries to explain behavior in terms of the evolutionary history of the species including reasons evolution might have favored a tendency to act in particular ways group that receives the treatment that an experiment is designed to test tendency of an experimenter to unintentionally distort procedures or results based on the experimenter s own expectations of the outcome of the study studies in which the investigator manipulates at least one variable while measuring at least one other variable alleged ability of certain people to acquire information without using any sense organ and without receiving any form of physical energy making sufficiently precise predictions that we can at least imagine evidence that would contradict the theory if anyone had obtained such evidence one who provides advice and consultation to police lawyers courts or other parts of the criminal justice system doctrine that behavior is caused by a person s independent decisions not by external determinants attempt to understand how mental processes produce useful behaviors clear predictive

brain careful examination of what many people or nonhuman animals do under natural conditions question of the relative roles played by heredity nature and environment nurture in determining
