AP PSYCH TEST REVIEW TEST REVIEW
I believe in radical behaviorism
B.F Skinner
I started classical conditioning
Ivan Pavlov
My work on the “Law of Effect” & “Instrumental Learning” inspired Skinner
Edward Thorndike
In Pavlov’s classic experiment, I am the CS
CS = the Bell
Bobo Doll is my xperiment
Bandura
YOU CAN CALL ME GUSTATION, OR JUST…
Taste
If you use me, I will increase the likelihood of behavior repeating (I could be positive or negative)
Reinforcement
You can’t see me or hear me. I am below your absolute threshold
Subliminal stimulation
THIS STATES THAT DIFFERENCE THRESHOLDS INCREASE IN PROPORTION TO THE SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL STIMULUS
WEBER’S LAW
I SWEAR I SAW YOU IN THE MALL
FALSE POSITIVE
THE PROCESS OF TAKING STILMULI IMPUT & TURNING IT INTO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL
PERCEPTION
I increase the likelihood that a BX will be increased
Positive reinforcement Negative reinforcement
I am used to decrease the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated
Punishment Omission training
I connect a new stimulus to an previously established stimulus - response relationship
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
In Ivan Pavlov’s classical experiment, I am the CR
CR = salivating Salivating
In this experiment, I furthered the understanding of classical conditioning (oh, and I raised a few ethical concerns with the APA)
Little Albert & John B. Watson
Kinesthetic receptors are found here
Joints and Muscles
Vestibular receptors are found here
Semicircular Canals
I am a cell in the retina. I detect black and gray. I am frequently used in dim lighting
Rods
We are the smallest bones in your body
Malleus, Incus, Stapes
I am a theory that attempts to explain pain and can be applied to manage pain
Gate Control Theory
Cats used to puzzle me, now I explain their “intrumental conditioning” by the “law of effect”
Edward Thorndike
I include these: texture gradient, shawdowing, relative size cue, and linear perspective
Monocular Cues
I, Eleanor Gibson, used this to determine when children understand depth perception
VISUAL CLIFF EXPERIMENT 325 × gynomite.wordpress. com
I am the term used to describe the transformation of stimulus energy into the electrochemical energy of neural impulses
I carry neural messages to the LGN inside the Thalamus
Optic Nerve
If your lens consistently focuses am image in front of your retina the opthamologist will diagnose you
near-sighted
This explains afterimages
What perceptual principle?
SIZE CONTANCY
What perceptual principle?
What did Max Wertheimer start?
GESTALT
What’s this?
Reversible figure- ground image
The thalamus and I help regulate wakefulness, arousal and attention
Reticular Formation
I hang in the brain and I control body temperature, blood pressure, signals for hunger, pulse and blood sugar levels
Hypothalamus
Telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition & telekinesis are my thing
Parapsychology
I go back to 3 2 1, then REM
Sleep Cycle
I show mostly Delta on an EEG
STAGE 4
They call me paradoxical
REM
I can’t sleep!!!
Insomnia
I occur during stage 4
Sleep walking, bed-wetting, night terrors, sleep talking
I am a drug and I am so depressing
Barbiturates Sedatives, tranquilizers, alcohol, valium, Xanax, “roofies”
I am such a “pain killer”
narcotics Morphine, heroin, codeine, opium, methadone
I am a stimulant
Ritalin, ecstasy, nicotine, caffeine, cocaine
The neutral stimulus becomes the?
Conditioned Stimulus
The UCR always becomes the
CR
The NS always becomes the
CS
In higher order conditioning, the CS is is connected to a new?
NS – Bully ---- Anxiety – School + Bully Anxiety = School = Anxiety TEST + School Anxiety – TEST = Anxiety
“Instrumental Conditioning”, he believed that his work and his research was instrumental in shaping future BX
Edward Thorndike
Responding similarly to a range of similar stimuli
Generalization
Terminating an aversive action
Escape Learning
This occurs when another NS is attached to an established CS, resulting in new learning.
Higher Order Conditioning
I encourage the likelihood of a behavior repeating, and you need me to survive
Primary Reinforcer
I keep failing, so I give up!
Learned Helplessness
Wow Wolfgang…I suddenly got the answer
Insight Learning
