Psychologists tend to ready other organisms Reify means to create something concrete out of an abstract idea >allows it to make sense |
|
|
Assumption of limitation |
Take the DSM-5 for what it is Assume that individuals can do what is listed in dsm5 Assume that they are limited according to the dsm5 |

|
|
Visual cliff experiment |
Human infants will crawl out onto the visual cliff >until the age of 5 months - at this point the infant will begin to scream if under the same condition -at this point, the infant has developed depth perception |

|
Ponder and Keele |
Patterns made up of dots >developed a study of learning through pattern recognition Patterns were divided into different levels of distortion: >low distortion >medium distortion >high distortion
Individuals were trained with distorted images >they were given tasks of learning RESULTS: Patterns of learning in high and low distortions produced poor performance. Patterns of learning in moderate distortions produced the best learning results Can be related to real world situations >individuals raised in highly distorted (maladjusted) environments will have a hard time functioning in the real world >likewise, individuals raised in “perfect” environments will also have a tough time adjusting to real world environments >Need a balance between high and low distortion to function ideally in real world situations |
