Cells that change one form of energy into neural impulses are known as
Receptor cells
What is a double-blind procedure?
Neither the experimenter nor the participant know who has received the placebo and who has received the independent variable
In order for an experiment’s results to be accepted the results must be…
Replicable
Excitatory neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory; Oversupply can lead to migraines or seizures

What is a projective test?
Personality tests that provide ambiguous stimuli to trigger projection of one’s inner thoughts and feelings; Thematic Apperception/Rorschach

The process where receptor cells turn one form of energy into a neural impulse
