Loftus
1975
original experience --> integration of exp. into memory --> integration of new info into memory --> question asked regarding experience --> recall of reconstructed memory w/ new info --> response

Kohlberg
1963
morality occurs in developmental stages
1. premoral- punishment/obedience orientation AND naive instrumental hedonism (satisfying needs =good)
2. morality of conventional role conformity - good boy/nice girl (what pleases others) AND authority maintaining morality (law/order, doing duty= good)
3. morality of self-accepted principles- morality of agreements/democratic law (society's values/individual rights determine right/wrong) AND morality of individual principle/conscience
Langer, Rodin
1976
-old people in home surveyed : one group said to have been given responsibility, others were not
-those given more personal responsibility have better lives/attitudes
Five fundamental principles of behaviorism
1. Acquisition- response --> reinforcement (more likely to recur)
2. Exintinction- response --> no more reinforcement (less likely to recur)
3. Spontaneous recovery- previously extinguished response reinforced again--> behavior recurs
4. Generalization- stimuli similar to original more likely to trigger response
5. discrimination- response specific to ONE stimulus
Schedule of reinforcement
continuous: every response reinforced
intermittent- not all are reinforced
Intermittent reinforcement
fixed ratio- set amt. of items of accomplishment
fixed interval- reinforced at a predictable time (once a week)
variable- you don't know when you'll be rewarded (like a slot machine)
ABC therapy
antecedent behavior consequence: event before vs. response
parent prefers sister --> other kid picks fight --> kid gets suspended --> more attention (even negative is positive reinforcement)
Components of attachment
-Bowlby
-secure base- comfortable, confident to explore
-safe haven- place to run to in distress, anxiety when upset
-proximity/protest separation- always want to be with person they're intimately connected to
Attachment classifications:
-Ainsworth
-mom and baby in a room, mom leaves, stranger comes in-- baby response:
secure attachement- upset when mom gone, happy when they returned, avoided stranger first, but friendly with mom (SENSITIVE/RESPONSIVE PRIMARY CARE)
avoidant- unconcerned, no interest when she returned
anxious- inconsolable when mom left, clingy when she came back -- INCONSISTENT PRIMARY CARE
scared of abandonment, parents had to come back because child was too overwhelmed
Cassidy
-Ainsworth test with six year olds
-secure: good view of relationships, high self-esteem
-anxious- self-esteem fluctuates based on who they saw last
-avoidant- low self-esteem
Kobak and Sceery
-Ainsworth with teens
-secure: easy to communicate with, warm, secure
-anxious: easily angry, jealous, hurt
-avoidant: hostile, put up walls, best friends surprised to be named as such
Hazan and Shaver
-Ainsworth with adults
-Secure: happy, trusting, good relationship
Model: relationships last
-Avoidant: less accepting, love from distance (think relationships don't last)
-Anxious- love at first sight, obsessive, jealous, crazy emotions and sexual tension (think love never lasts but fall in love easily)
WHAT WORKS: secure-secure, anxious-avoidant
Piaget's stages of development
egocentrism
formal operational (develop reasoning, debate, abstract thinking)
adolescent egocentrism- imaginary audience (people are watching everything i do), personal fable (audience watching you because you're unique, i'm different, leads to reckless behavior)
Erikson's theory
1. trust vs. mistrust (age 0-1)
2. autonomy vs. shame/doubt (1-2)
3. initiative vs. guilt (3-5)
4. industry vs. inferiority (6-12) compare to everyone
5. identity vs role confusion- (13-19+)
6. intimacy vs. isolation (20-40)
7. generativity vs. stagnation (40-65)
8. integrity vs. despair
Baumrind Parenting
parent vs. child centered:
democratic- expectations for behavior, but communicate with kid to find out what's wrong
indulgent- high expectation, shift blame to others
dictatorial- VERY high expectations, not in response to parents, strict, don't care about kid's opinion
neglecting- no expectations, unaware of needs, wrapped up in stresses
Brain stem
-starts where spinal cord ends
-automatic survival
amygdala
-arousal, emotional regulation, mediate anxiety, depression, emotional memory
cerebellum
regulates movement balance, remembering simple skills, acquired reflexes, analyzes sensory info, problem solving, understanding words
Four lobes/functions
1. frontal- creative thinking, executive functionality, personality
2. parietal-tactile, touch perception
3. temporal- hearing, long-term memory, categorizing
4. occipital- vision
Broca's area
-loss of function shows agrammatism, word dropping, omission of function words
Wernicke's area
fairly fluent speech, but all words are nonsense (syntax) -- think they're making sense
George
shot himself in the head, cured depression, became happy and social
Sternberg
triarchic theory
1. componential (analytical skills)
2. experiential- creative problem solving
3. contextual- application of things to daily life
7 intelligences
1. linguistic- sensitive to words/meanings, good at reading, writing, debate, languages
2. musical- expressed young, see things in rhythm, hear music
3. logico-mathematical- logical, rational problem solving
4. spatial- recreate visual images, map reading, see others' views, vivid imagination, metaphors
5. bodily-kinesthetic- solve problems, remember by doing, use body to present idea in movement, make things with hands
6.interpersonal- know own feelings
7. intrapersonal- relate to others, make them comfortable, good in groups, nonverbal skills, communication
8. naturalistic- discriminate between living things, sensitive to natural world
Memory systems
working memory- exists for all senses, 7 +/2 sec. unless practiced
sensory- diff. for each sense
long-term; shaped by what's happening now, not actual experience, memory recall
Types of sensory memories
Iconic- visual 0.5 sec.
echoic- hearing (3-4 sec)
hepatic- <1 sec, feeling memory
Memory processing
encoding (registering, learning-- rehearsal and retrieval)
storage
retrieval
5 ways to add meaning? Chunking?
1. tie into something you know
2. tie into something about you
3. form visual memory
4. make up sentences with info
5. ask questions
Ebbinghaus
studied rehearsal by nonsense syllables, learning curve much faster the second time than first
rehearsal- rote repetition
elaborative- associating it with stuff to learn
primary vs. recency
you remember things you heard first and last
Effects of situation on memory
-more likely to remember if you put yourself in the situation you learned it (take exam in pjs, take it in same classroom)
