<p>Er, yeah. It's coming... It's almost here! So, let's start on it. =]</p>
<p>Answer the question above. Then, post another set of questions for the next user to answer. This way, we can study.</p>
<p>Let's try the 2001 questions since I have no others...</p>
<p>A. Discuss the cause of anxiety from each of the following perspectives.
Behavioral
Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic
Biological
Cognitive
B. Discuss a specific treatment technique for reducing anxiety used by professionals representing each of the four perspectives.</p>
<p>Describe the psychological concept of expectancy or set. Discuss a specific example of how each expectancy or set affects each of the
following.
Human perception
The effects of a psychoactive drug on a human
A students performance in the classroom
Human problem solving
Memory</p>
<p>it may be better to post someone more current. (i.e. past 5-6 years) AP seems to be changing its focus lately. I don't remember seeing anything about perspectives last year on the FR. (then again, my head is full of calc stuff at the moment.) The one last year was on schizophrenia and it gave a situation and asked how some factors could influence that situation. I think it was about a girl at a new school and she wanted to join the psychology club.</p>
<p>I've barely even opened my prep book and I'm self studying this. Psych is pretty easy though and I just self studied Comp Gov and dominated that test so I'm still pretty confident about a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>Oh, god. I still have like half of the book to read, and I still don't really know the brain or senses or perception. I don't know what I'm going to do. </p>
<p>Oh well, here's a question if anyone wants to have at it: What are obstacles to problem solving are there and why?</p>
<p>llpitch - Wow, I wish I was as confident as you. What prep book are you using?</p>
<p>AP Psych was like a free period for me. Our teacher's new at teaching the subject; he often has to consult the textbook. We're quite behind and we haven't been doing FRQs so I'm really nervous.</p>
<p>Multiple hypothesis is when people have more than one hypothesis in their mind because they usually begin solving problem with only a vague notion. but since our llimited short memory capacity can only form 7 chunks and we can't think of 2 or 3 hypothesis at the same time, sometimes we fail to think of the more reasonable hypothesis. And we may also be influenced by availability heuristic so we think of the first hypothesis first instead of being reasonable and think through which one can be more possible.</p>
<p>Another obstacle is Mental set, the tendency the people focus or think in their original thought or past experience, even when better alternatives come up. </p>
<p>Another one is functional fixedness, the tendency to think about familiar objects in familiar ways that may prevent using them in other ways. they are too not creative and therefore it's easy to get stucekd on a problem.</p>
<p>Also ignoring negative evidence can influence us because once we have hypothesis we tend to believe in our own original thought and may ignore the "true" evidence to confrim ourself. </p>
<p>Describe the psychological concept of expectancy or set. Discuss a specific example of how each expectancy or set affects each of the
following.
• Human perception
• The effects of a psychoactive drug on a human
• A student’s performance in the classroom
• Human problem solving
• Memory</p>
<p>i think i can do this question except for the part about "memory"...
any help? :S</p>
