<p>I know it’s supposed to be an easy test, but I just worry about AP tests anyways because I would be really mad if I didn’t get credit for them, and I’m not one of those seniors with “senioritis”- I still care about grades and tests a lot. </p>
<p>I’m going to double major in college, plus a minor too possibly, so I need as much AP credit as I can get!</p>
<p>ehhh, no exactly, it’s what connects the two hemispheres, there might be a question about split brained patients (corpus callosum being severed stops seizures.</p>
<p>JoalFL- as a sophomore, is this your first AP test then? My first AP was AP US Gov, in which I had a horrible teacher and had to teach myself- it was practically a self-study course for me, except I was in a class- but we did nothing in class!</p>
<p>The corpus callosum is divides the brain. The cortex covers the brain.</p>
<p>so who else is cramming with me:P</p>
<p>!allnighters crew ftw!</p>
<p>doing barrons flash cards as we speak~</p>
<p>i would of taken AP world freshman year, but the school i was at didnt let me. Now im in an IB school, im like required to take AP classes, so i have like 3 this year, and 5 next (aiming for national ap scholar)</p>
<p>Ah, ok, the brain/biology stuff is my worst part. I hated biology class…</p>
<p>I’m just chilling… I’m not really studying (I have for the past 5 days) I’m gonna go to sleepa round…idk 1am?</p>
<p>@iluvpiano That’s funny because I wanna be a brain surgeon so thats like my forte. Haha too bad its like 4 questions on the test.</p>
<p>ChickenOnRice- also doing Barron’s flashcards here now! My mom is telling me to go to sleep soon…</p>
<p>btw anyone wanna define prototype for me (like elaborate) and give me an example of classical conditioning.</p>
<p>@JoalFL- Ok, so the biology part of AP Psych is gonna be important for you to know not only for the AP test, but for life! The bio part would be my sister’s forte like it is yours- she’s a sophomore now and wants to major in Biology in college.</p>
<p>Ah, I see iluvpiano.
College credit :)</p>
<p>Hope you get a 5.</p>
<p>More studying:
-neurotransmitters (nervous system)
-hormones (endocrine system)</p>
<p>-lateral hypothalamus (stimulates hunger)
-ventromedial hypothalamus (suppresses hunger)</p>
<p>-Broca’s area - makes words
-Wernicke’s area - comprehends words</p>
<p>-afferent neurons (sensory, body to the brain)
-efferent neurons (motor, brain to body)</p>
<ul>
<li>assimilation (integrating new situations to existing ones)</li>
<li><p>accommodations (different…makes rules to fit new situations)</p></li>
<li><p>concrete operations (logical)</p></li>
<li><p>formal " " (philosophical)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>-sensation (bottomup)
-perception (top down)</p>
<p>-proactive interference (loss of new info)
<ul>
<li>implicit v explicit</li>
</ul>
<p>-recall (no cues) v recognition (hints)</p>
<p>lol @iluvpiano. i pretty much am aiming to finish these cards before i sleep. up to cognition(algorithms specifically)</p>
<p>prototype is like a stereotype, like what is the first though when you think of a chair? four legs and a seat, maybe wooden.
and classical conditioning? ermm say that a kid kicks the back of your seat, you punish him by taking away his toys.</p>
<p>what i meant by clasical conditiioining is the whole thing, USURCSCR.</p>
<p>need a detailed explanation please~</p>
<p>OHHHH! whoops I accidentally put down an example of operant. hold on</p>
<p>JoalFL- I think your classical conditioning example works better for operant conditioning, because “punishment training” is under that section in my book…</p>
<p>Classical conditioning is the whole UR/CR/US/NS/CS idea…remember, maybe your example could work for that too though</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t see your post correction before I posted my critique of yours!</p>
<p>I’ll refer to Pavlov’s dogs.
Pavlov was researching digestion in dogs and when the assistant walks in to feed the dog, the dog salivates. Pavlov noticed this and determined that since the dog sees the assistant he associates him with food. So Pavlov continued the research and paired food with a tone.
Originally the tone was a neutral stimuli, it had no effect. The unconditioned (non learned) stimuli was the food and caused the unconditioned (non learned) response. Now since the dog has associated a tone (conditioned stimulus) with the food (unconditioned stimulus) the dog salivates ( both conditional and unconditional response).</p>
<p>Want me to talk about extinction, generalization, and discrimination?</p>
