Analytical introspection |
Technique where trained subjects describe their experiences and though processes in response to stimuli |
|
|
Artificial intelligence |
An approach in which you make a machine behave in ways that would be called intelligent if a human were so behaving |
|
|
Behaviorism |
Watson, observable behavior is only scientific data for psychology (not consciousness/in observable mental processes |
|
|
Choice reaction time |
Time it takes to respond to multiple stimuli |
|
|
Classical conditioning |
Procedure pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that gets a response. This causes neutral stimulus to get response too |
|
|
Cognition |
Mental processes involved in perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning and decision making |
|
|
Cognitive map |
Mental conception of a spatial layout |
|
|
Cognitive psychology |
Scientific study of mind and mental processes |
|
|
Cognitive revolution |
Shift of psychology, ended age of behaviorism and rise of information processing approach |
|
|

Approach that traces sequences of mental operations involved in cognition |
|
|
Logic theorist |
Program that was able to create proofs of mathematical theorems that involve principles of logic |
|
|
Mind |
It creates and controls mental functions, and system that creates representations of world for us to act and achieve in |
|
|
Operant conditioning |
Focuses on behaviors that are strengthened through reinforcers |
|
|
Process model |
Represent processes that are involved in cognitive mechanisms |
|
|
Reaction time |
How long it takes to respond to presentation of a stimulus |
|
|
Savings |
(Original time to learn the list) - (time to relearn the list after the delay) higher savings indicate greater memory |
|
|
Savings curve |
Shows memory drops rapidly for first 2 days after the initial learning and then levels off |
|
|
Simple reaction time |
Reacting to presence or absence of a single stimuli |
|
|
Structuralism |
Approach to psychology that explains perception as adding up if small units called sensations |
