Hypertropia is a condition of misalignment of the eyes ( strabismus ), whereby the visual axis of one eye is higher than the fellow fixating eye. Hypotropia is the similar condition, focus being on the eye with the visual axis lower than the fellow fixating eye. Dissociated vertical deviation is a special type of hypertropia leading to slow ...
Vacuum activities (or vacuum behaviours) are innate fixed action patterns (FAPs) of animal behaviour that are performed in the absence of a sign stimulus ( releaser) that normally elicit them. [1] This type of abnormal behaviour shows that a key stimulus is not always needed to produce an activity. [2] Vacuum activities often take place when an ...
Physiological psychology is a subdivision of behavioral neuroscience (biological psychology) that studies the neural mechanisms of perception and behavior through direct manipulation of the brains of nonhuman animal subjects in controlled experiments. [ 1][page needed] This field of psychology takes an empirical and practical approach when ...

For example, a cross mark at the center of a screen is not said to be a stimulus, because it merely serves to center participants' gaze on the screen.
Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, and hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred. This blur is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina due to insufficient accommodation by the lens. [ 6]
Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used for classification of educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. The cognitive domain list has been the primary focus of most traditional education and is ...
Jones and his team developed new criteria to help physicians in diagnosing LANS that include the following core clinical factors: presents with a slow, predominant neurodegenerative condition with ...
Taxis. A taxis (from Ancient Greek τάξις (táxis) 'arrangement, order'; [ 1] pl.: taxes / ˈtæksiːz /) [ 2][ 3][ 4] is the movement of an organism in response to a stimulus such as light or the presence of food. Taxes are innate behavioural responses.
