3 Stages of Alzheimer's Dementia
|
In Stage 1, which lasts 2-4 years, short-term memory loss begins. Patients in this stage frequently complain about forgetting where they placed things. In Stage 2, which lasts 2-10 years, there is further memory impairment (mostly explicit rather than implicit) and they begin having difficulty performing complex tasks, such as balancing a checkbook or going grocery shopping. They may get lost in familiar places and become apathetic. In the final stage -- Stage 3, which lasts 1-3 years, there is serious impairment in most areas. During Stage 3 they may lose the ability to speak and become unable to recognize family, friends, or even themselves. They lose all capacity to care for themselves and have difficulty walking, are incontinent, and are ultimately bedridden and often die of an opportunistic respiratory infection.

|
The stages are: identity awareness (conscious of being different); identity comparison (believes may be homosexual, acts heterosexual); identity tolerance (realizes is homosexual); identity acceptance (begins to explore gay community); identity pride (becomes active in gay community); and synthesis (fully accepts self and others).

that antipsychotic medications, which can cause motor disturbances, affect dopamine in the brain; and that stimulants activate dopamine receptors.

|
Social identity theory (Tajfel)
|
people strive to maintain and enhance their self-esteem, and this is associated with two components: personal and social identity. Social identity theory states that social identity, the aspect of self-esteem based on group membership, is enhanced by believing one’s own group (the ingroup) is attractive and belittling the members of the other groups (the outgroups).

|
Rutter listed what as predictors of child psychopathology.

low socioeconomic status, severe marital discord, large family size, parental criminality, and placement of children outside the home
|
|
|
paradoxical intention
|
is based on the assumption that a person avoids a certain behavior because of the anticipatory anxiety the behavior arouses. When a person deliberately engages in the behavior, a condition of incompatibility is set up and this condition serves to eliminate the anticipatory anxiety. The idea is that engaging in the behavior (or a wish to engage in the behavior) is incompatible with fear of that behavior and, consequently, the fear is neutralized.

|
|
Factors that typically distinguish Dissociative Amnesia from amnesia due to known physical causes:
|
in Dissociative Amnesia, memory loss is primarily for autobiographical information, cognitive abilities are usually preserved, and memory loss can be reversed.

|
|
Holland's theory on career choice.
|
proposes that interests are actually determined by personality. In addition, it proposes that workers will be happy and most productive when their personality matches the characteristics of the work environment.
|
|
|
serial position effect and memory
|
predicts that the poorest recall will be for information in the middle of a list. Research on the serial position effect has shown that memory for information at the beginning and end of a list varies, depending on whether there is a delay before recall is required. When there is a brief delay, memory for information at the beginning of the list is better than memory for information at the end of the list.
|
|
|
D. G. Perry and K. Bussey theory of aggression in children
|
focus on family interaction factors in the development of aggressive behavior. They propose that aggression is related to parental rejection and lack of warmth and use of harsh forms of discipline.
|
|
|
A low selection ratio
|
means that there's lots of applicant to choose from (which is preferable to having only a few to choose from).
|
|
|
Moderate base rate
|
is preferable to a high or low base rate because this means that there's room for improvement in the selection process.
|
|
|
Types of sensory memory
|
Visual stimuli are stored as "iconic" memories; auditory stimuli are stored as "echoic" memories; and kinesthetic stimuli are stored as "haptic" memories.
|
|
|
Criterion Contamination
|
If the rater knows the ratees' scores on the predictor, the rating process can be contaminated. it results in a spuriously high validity coefficient.
|
|
|
Additive tasks
|
permit the addition of individual efforts so that the outcome is a combination of individual contributions. The combined efforts of all group members will determine if the tasks are completed and team members receive a bonus.
|
|
|
compensatory tasks
|
the average performance of all group members represents the group's product.
|
|
|
disjunctive tasks
|
the group must choose one of many alternative ways to do the task. Thus, performance on a task depends on the performance of the most competent group member, because if one person can complete the task, the task gets completed.
|
|
|
conjunctive tasks
|
everyone must achieve a given goal in order for the task to be complete. As a result, task performance depends on the performance of the least competent group member.
