Psyc 333- Chap 5

Front 1

motivated tactician?

Back 1

refers to people's tendency to rely on relatively automatic processes or on more effortful ones, depending on the situational and motivational demands (the term tactician implies that people CHOOSE MODES)

Front 2

full automaticity?

Back 2

unintentional, uncontrollable, efficient, autonomous responses outside awareness

Front 3

amygdala?

Back 3

involved in neural mechanisms of immediate emotional priming (more related to automatically detecting negative cues)

Front 4

basal ganglia?

Back 4

more focused on processes related to reward

Front 5

brain structured involved in reflex-like forms of social cognition?

Back 5

1) lateral temp cortex (pSTS and temporal lobe)
2) ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)
3) dorsal anterior cingulate (dACC)

Front 6

conscious priming?

Back 6

post conscious automaticity entails conscious perception of the prime but no awareness of its effects on subsequent reactions

Front 7

proceduralization?

Back 7

process whereby dvp of automaticity occurs through practice (involves 2 practice effects)
1) w/ practice, any judgment of a given trait, regardless of the particular behavior will speed up showing a trait-specific practice effect
2) practice effects speeds judgements of traits even in general

Front 8

controlled processes?

Back 8

any process in which the perceiver's conscious intent substantially determines how the process operates

Front 9

goal dependent automaticity?

Back 9

lack or awareness of the process itself, not needing to monitor the process to completion and lack of intending to all the specific outcomes, it varies by the perceivers goal so it is partially responsive to intentional control.
It requires intentional processing and depends on the task undertaken, conscious intent launches preconscious automaticity.

Front 10

brooding and rumination?

Back 10

unwanted thinking about a particular object for a long time

Front 11

auto-motives?

Back 11

perhaps situations automatically cue certain motives
(situations determine behavior fairly directly)
+ situations trigger goals, goals trigger actions - all automatically and outside of consciousness

Front 12

operant thought?

Back 12

instrumental, problem solving in nature. Monitors progress towards a goal and one tries to protect it from distractions.

Front 13

respondent thought?

Back 13

receptive, contributes all ordinary distractions of unbidden images or preemptory thoughts (not effortful)

Front 14

consciousness?

Back 14

executive, necessary condition for intent, construction inferred from material created unconsciously

Front 15

most frequent motives?

Back 15

belonging, understanding, controlling, enhancing self, trusting in-group

Front 16

dual process perspective? (person perception)

Back 16

people initially identify a person automatically and they stop there is the person is not relevant to their goals, if relevant ppl personalize the other using individually tailored concepts.
Dual mode is a series of choice point and branching processes that channel ppl into relatively automatic and controlled forms of thinking of others.

Front 17

evolving continuum perspective? (person perception)

Back 17

ppl engage in a continuum of processes ranging from the most automatic, category-based processes to the most deliberate impression formation. (if category confirmation fails, ppl recategorize and generate new, better-fitting categories)

Front 18

differences b/w dual processing model and the continuum model? (person perception)

Back 18

dual processing model?
1) distinct types of cognitive representation in distinct branches of impression formation
2) specific rules for passing along each processing branch

Hint 18

continuum model?
1) stable kinds of information across its evolving stages w/ prior stage carrying over subsequent one
2) proposes constant rules, ease of categorization depends on information and motivation

Front 19

different models in attribution?

Back 19

1) in one integration model, ppl first identify behavior, aided my context. (b/c behav is ambiguous, identification is a necessary first step, then ppl explain and try to understand the behav. (1= IDENTIFICATION, 2= EXPLANATION)
2) related model splits the first step into categorization of behav and its characterization in dispositional terms (automatic) followed by a controlled correction for situational factors if the perceiver has the capacity/motivation (1= CATEGORIZATION, 2= CORRECTION W/ SITUATIONAL CUES)
3) contrast of spontaneous trait inferences, guided by concepts that come easily to mind, linked to the person, whether appropriate or not, w/ more intentional, goal driven processes.

Front 20

different models in attitudes?

Back 20

1) elaboration likelihood model: two routes to persuasion, the peripheral one (low effort processes= ex, in-group source) or central route (high effort processes= ppl carefully scrutinize all arguments and elaborate on them)

Hint 20

2) heuristic-systematic model: contrasts the systematic model ( relatively analytic and comprehensive) w/ the heuristic model (previously stored rules of thumb) = the 2 modes operate in parallel
