|
Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain Studying Brain Neuron communication Lateralization |
Forebrain = problem solving, mood Mid = motor control, dopamine Hind = Vital functions. Lateralization = separation of left + right. |
|
|
Influence of Neurotransmitters on behavior Endocrine System |
Neurons -> neurotransmitters. GABA = inhibitor. Epin + norepin = stressful situations. Endocrine = hormone. Hypothalamus releases neurotransmitters + growth and repro hormones |
|
|
Prenatal Motor Developmental changes |
Prenatal = zygote --> blastocyst --> embryo Motor: roll over after 4 months. 6: sit. Walk by 1 year. Developmental changes |
|
|
Psychoanalytic Humanistic Trait |
Psychoanalytic: Id, Ego, Superego Humanistic: self-aware, hierarchy of needs Trait: stable and observable. Cardinal = most important |
|
|
Social Cognitive Biological Behaviorist |
SC = personality and behavior determined by social + environmental Biological: genes and biology Behaviorist: observation and learning |
|
|
Biomedical and Biopsychosocial Classifications of Disorders |
Biomedical = focus on body and bodily process Biopsychosocial = psychological and social |
|
|
Anxiety Disorders Somatic Depression Schizophrenia |
Anxiety = Fear or worry: PTSD is one. Somatic = Physical caused by psychological Depression = Extreme sadness for >2 weeks Schizophrenia = psychotic symptoms |
|
|
Dissociative Personality Stem-cell therapy |
Dissociative = multiple personalities? Personality = Difficult to function in socially acceptable manner Degenerative shown by deterioration of neurons Stem cells to treat the issue |
|
|
Drive Reduction + Incentive Expectancy |
Drive reduction: motivation influences behavior Drive: quell internal. Incentive = external. |
|
|
Attitudes Behavior |
Attitudes: Cognitive, affective, and behavioral Cognitive = thinks. Affective = feels. Behavioral = acts in response. Behavior = likely to influence. Foot in the door |
|
|
Influences of attitudes on behavior Cognitive Dissonance Social facilitation |
Influences: Ajzen's theory: Beliefs influence attitudes. CD = Acting opposite to thinking or feeling SF = performs better with others around |
|
|
Deindividuation Bystander effect Social loafing Social control |
DE = among crowd: Loses self-awareness BE = someone else's problem SL = Each member contributes less SC = how society creates rules and laws |
|
|
Conformity Obedience Group Polarization Groupthink |
Individuals change to be accepted to group Changing behavior in response to authority Extreme decisions in groups. Members agree to accept ideas without bringing up individual ideas. |
|
|
Sanctions Mores Anomie Deviance |
Sanctions: punishments for breaking social norms. Taboo > Mores > folkways Anomie = lack of norms. Deviance = does not abide by social norms |
|
|
Collective Socialization Neutral, conditioned, unconditioned |
Collective = fads, mass hysteria, riots Socialization: learn social norms Neutral = does not naturally produce Unconditioned = triggers natural Conditioned = developed learned responses |
|
|
Classical conditioning Operant conditioning |
Classical: Conditioned to different stimuli Unconditioned response = natural response Conditioned response = non-natural |
|
|
Positive Negative Primary Conditional |
Positive = reward to encourage. Increase. Negative = Take something away to increase something else. Primary = Desires naturally. |
|
|
Fixed-Ratio Variable-Ratio Fixed-Interval Variable-Interval |
Fixed = Specific pattern Variable = Different rate each time. Fixed-interval = after certain amount of time, predictable. VI = unpredictable time. |
|
|
Modeling Brain + Mirror Neurons Escape and Avoidance |
Modeling = watch others --> certain behavior Mirror = Activated when individual observes another engaging in same behavior |
|
|
Cognitive Biological processes |
Cog = 2 things are associated: Specific response Biological: Associative through learning, but also by biology |
