Term
| social cognitivist (cognitive theory) |
|
Definition
| learning is a measurable behavior-ppl learn from one another by modeling/imitating |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Pavlovs-Dogs
Pfungst-Hans the Clever Horse
Little Albert-Conditioning of Fear
Thorndikes-Puzzlebox
Skinner- Box experiment
Bandura- Bobo Doll |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Classic- Bell/ learned association btwn one stim UCS and aonther CS - organism is passive - involuntary reflex
Operant-Beep/ learned association btwn behavior and a consequence-organism is active-voluntary behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| behavior changes because of its consequences |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| with knowledge of the past, present, environment and energetic disposition we can conclude that the thoughts, beliefs and emotions are because of our environment |
|
|
Term
| controlling/changing behavior |
|
Definition
-scientific method
-find correlations
-use info/ test hypothesis
-conclude what needs to be changed or controlled |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
correlational methods->relationship btwn 2 methods
Correlation does not equal causation..ex, class attendance and grade
3rd Variable Problem- Something other than the two variables accounts for the relationship
Reverse Casuality-cannot determine which variable cause what |
|
|
Term
| 3 Descriptive Research Methods |
|
Definition
Case Study
-too narrow->cant determine effect
Naturalistic Observation
P->difft times /samplings
C-> cant control variables/ dtermin cause and efffect
Survey Research
P-Large Groug\p/ easy convenient
C-dishonesty/bias |

Definition
| Sensory and motor relay station |
|
|
Term
| Hypothalumus and Limbic System |
|
Definition
| involved in motivation/emotions |
|
|
Term
| classical conditioning/conditioned stimulus |
|
Definition
| ex--> after many mornings of drinking coffee, just the smell of coffe can wake you up |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The view that elementary ideas are innate to the human mind and are not gained through experience |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The standard dev. of the mean/medium |
|
|
Term
| Dendrites vs. axon Terminals |
|
Definition
Dendrites->Part of the nueron specialized to recieve signals from other nuerons
Axon Terminals-->send signals to other nuerons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The whole is greater than the sum of its parts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-heightens the perceived contrast in lightness at contours
-allows us to see shape |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
cones-> color vision/ acuity BRIGHT LIGHT
rods-> vision DIM LIGHT
+neural convergence helps explain the greater sensitivity and lower acuity of rod vision compared to cone vision |
|
|
Term
| left brain vs right brain |
|
Definition
left--> Language(Interprets behavior)
Right-->Visuospatial taks |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-connects 2 hemispheres
-is a massive bundles of axons |
|
|
Term
| Testing Brain behavioral Function |
|
Definition
TMS-disrupts/triggers activity in specific cortical areas by magnetic field
EEg-records electrical activity in the brain via electrodes
PET/FMRI-produce images that show changes in activity in the brain by measuring blood flow |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
reflects the impact of an action's consequences on it's recurrance
(shaping occurs when successive approximation to the desired response are enforced)
*Reinforcement increases increases response rate..punishment decreases response rate.
-reward increases rate of operant conditioning |
|
|
Term
| Positive/Negative Reinforcement |
|
Definition
positive->praise is given
negative->pain goes away |
|
|
Term
| positive/ negative Punishment |
|
Definition
positive->a reprimandi is given
negative->privileges are taken away |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| only deals w/observable behavior/ events not the mind |
|
|
Term
| Classical Conditioning (Pavlovs Dogs) |
|
Definition
(the process involved in learning new reflex)
1. unconditioned reflex-food-->salivation
2 nuetral stim--> is added (bell) before the unconditional stim (food)
3 After pairing food w/bell->produce a conditional response eventually bell-->salivation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
helps us asses the likelihood that relationships are observed are real/ repeatable or due to chance
significant not equal due to change of statistics |
|
|
Term
| Correlation does not equal... |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
designed only to characterize/record what is observed
NOT..to test hypothesis about variable relationships |
|
|
Term
| independent variable vs. dependent variable |
|
Definition
IDV- the one being manipulated
...>while looking for corresponding differences in the DV-> the variable being affected |
|
|
Term
| Wernicke's Aphasia Vs. Broca's Aphasia |
|
Definition
Wernicke's->impaired language comprehension--fluent but meaningless speech
Broca's-> clear meaning but grammatical purposes are missing |
|
|
Term
| Parts of the Brain (your dooome) |
|
Definition
| 4 lobes POT F -corpus collosum-hippocampus-amygdala-hypothalamus-thalamus-medulla/pons-cerebellum |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
corpus collosum is cut... flash of word+ right brain processes
-Language (left) side didn't process signal from the right so he could not articulate the word, just interpret his drawing of the word |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
occipital-primary visual cortex (color and shape)
temporal-auditory cortex/ hearing
-memory/understanding meanings
Parietal- Sensory Organs
Frontal-PLanning and reasoning and deciding
-Judgement, balance,emotion
-inhibition |
