Define what a positive, negative, and zero correlation is.
- a positive correlation is when both of the variables increase an example would be the taller you would get the more heavier you tend to be. Negative correlation is when one variable increases while the other variable decreases and example would be the higher up on a mountain you get the colder it gets. Zero correlation is when there is no relationship between the variables.

Picture talks about the types of correlation and what they look like on a graph.
Construct an experiment from a given hypothesis and identify the independent and dependent variables.
-Independent variable is the variable used in the experiment that also changes, dependent variable is the variable that the scientist or observers focus in on after the independent variable changes. In the experiment I found was subjects were randomly divided into two groups. the expermiental group was the high fear group and were told that they would recieve a painful shock. The control group were told they would receive a little shock but would not hurt at all. They were asked if they wanted to wait or go with others that would be shocked and a high percentage said that they wanted to be with others.https://www.boundless.com/psychology/researching-psychology/types-of-research-studies/experimental-research/

Describe the process of neural transmission.
-The job of the neuron is to transmit messages to the nervous system. Neural transmission occurs when a neuron is activated or fired. when the neuron is in resting state it more negative in the inside of the neuron. the dendrites pick up the signal of the neuron that goes through the axon that then is passed on to another neuron. This process goes very quickly.

Video talks about how the nueral transmission process works.
Pictures shows a model of how it works.

Describe the structure of the human nervous system.
-The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system. the peripheral nervous system is responsible for gathering the information for the central nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is what arouses you and the parasympathetic nervous system is what calms you down. The sensory neurons is what carries the information that is coming in from the receptors to the central nervous system.
Picture one shows where the nerves are on the body and picture two shows a table of how they are ordered.

Describe research on the split brain.
-Our brains have 2 halves a left and a right half. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. The corpus callosum is what helps the 2 halves communicate with each other. This is done as a surgery where the surgeon cuts the corpus callosum so that the 2 halves no longer can communicate with each other many times this procedure is done to stop seizures.
Picture shows an expermient made from using this brain and how it works when the opertion is made.
