Independent and Dependent Variables

Two groups play video games one group violent, one nonviolent. Next the researchers measure incidents of violent behavior. Independent Variable: Type of video game assigned. Dependent Variable: Incidence of violent behaviors.

Use mnemonic tips to remember the functions of different parts of the brain.

For “hippocampus”, think campus The hippocampus forms and retrieves memories. You will form many memories on your college campus and they will be stored in your hippocampus.

Hypothalamus: Notice the letters H and T to help you remember that the The hypothalamus controls Hunger and Thirst. Also remember the Four F’s as functions of the hypothalamus.

Remember that the Left Cerebral Hemisphere is responsible for Language functions: Connect the L in Left with the L in the word Language.

You won’t have to label a diagram of the eye, but you should know about RODS and CONES. Connect the C in the word CONES with the C in the word COLOR. Once you know CONES are responsible for Color vision, you’ll know that RODS deal with night shades of grey – no color

Important Information about the sleep cycle: 1. REM sleep does not begin immediately. Sleep begins with four NREM stages that last an hour. After stage four, the sleeper goes back through Stages 3 and 2 and then enters REM sleep. The amount of REM sleep changes during a lifetime. REM sleep is highly correlated with dreams

The James-Lange Theory of Emotion vs. the Schacter-Singer two-factor theory of emotion. Schacter-Singer TWO-factor theory has a component the James –Lange Theory does not have, COGNITIVE LABELING. Think: Schacter-Singer has the number TWO in it, it has more than James Lange. The added component is COGNITIVE LABELING

Key characteristics of the stages in Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development

Test reliability: A test can be used over and over and will continue to get the same results.

Test validity : A test really measures what it is intended to measure. A test can be reliable and not valid at the same time. You can get the same results (reliability) on a test that is not measuring what it says it is going to measure. (validity)

People who read more case studies of successful businesses may judge the probability of running a successful business to be greater. People make a judgment based on how many times they have heard about or encountered something themselves. they use the information available in their own experience.

Representative Heuristic: You use a representative sample of something to make a judgment Example: You meet three brilliant, athletic students from a certain school and assume that all students at that school are also brilliant and athletic.

Humanist approaches to therapy : Focus: Removing obstacles that block personal growth and potential Major Techniques: Empathy, unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and active listening.

Psychoanalytic Approach: Focus: Unconscious conflicts that usually date back to childhood experiences Major Techniques: Uses free association, dream analysis, transference, and interpretation.

Cognitive Therapy: Focus: Faulty thought processes and beliefs. Major Techniques: Rational examination of Irrational beliefs.

Behavioral Therapy: Focus: Relationships between past learning and the occurrence of a behavioral problem. Major Techniques: Systematic desensitization and aversion therapy.

The Fundamental Attribution Error vs. The Self-Serving Bias

Self-Serving Bias: How you interpret your own behavior. Most people take credit for their own success while blaming their failures on circumstances beyond their control.

Fundamental Attribution Error: How you judge the reasons for another person’s behavior.

Functional Fixedness: An inability to think outside the box. People are often very limited in the ways they think about objects, concepts, and people. When something is thought of only in terms of its functionality, then the person is demonstrating functional fixedness. This type of thinking is narrow and limited, often inhibiting the problem solving process.

Positive and Negative Reinforcement: Method for increasing positive behavior, or decreasing negative behavior.

Schizophrenia:

Most frequently tested form of abnormal behavior Typically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood. Rarely emerges prior to adolescence or after age 45. Genetics affects your chances of having schizophrenia.
