AP Psychology

<p>Getting how many on the mc would ensure a 3?</p>

<p>60 would ensure a 3.</p>

<p>LOL are u serious? this test has got to be the easiest one. does a 90/100 ensure a 4 or something?</p>

<p>if you got 90/100, I’m hoping that would be a 5?!?</p>

<p>A 5 is generally around 105 raw points for psych.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks so much for those mnemonics, hellicopter. Those have really helped. If I can just remember the stage theories now and some more vocab, I should be set :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I need do review that too. I can never remember the ages for some reason.</p>

<p>so if i get around 65 for mc and like not even do the frq, i can still get a 3?
my ap psych class last semester was a joke and we didnt learn anything so i am starting from scratch. and i just started reading my prep book today. so i dont plan on knowing enough things in depth to even bs the frqs. my only hope is that the mc will be easy enough since it’s kind of common sense.</p>

<p>For Piaget’s stages I use
Socks Pulled Over Cold Feet
Sensorimotor Preoperational Concrete Operational Formal Operational. Doesn’t exactly match but it’s good enough for order. I’m a big mnemonics fan so I have a lot if anyone else needs some.</p>

<p>For Piaget’s stages I use: Squirtel, Pikachu, and Charmander Fought (Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational)</p>

<p>How do you guys memorize Erikson’s eight psychosocial stages?</p>

<p>For hippocampus I also remember it as, if you saw a hippo running through your campus, you’d remember it = memory.</p>

<p>Here’s a few others for the brain/scan stuffs:</p>

<p>EEG - Imagine an Egg riding a wave (brain waves, “diagnosis of tumors, stroke and other focal brain disorders”, isn’t used as much anymore because of PET and CAT/CT)
CAT (or CT – a cat from Connecticut) - Imagine a black and white cat x-ray with the bones and all. Cats are also quick and speedy. (Quick x-ray of brain)
PET - What would happen if you fed your pet sugar (glucose)? They’d be Active and move around! (uses things like glucose [“radioactively labeled metabolically active chemicals”] to see how the brain is active/works)
MRI - Mary is Dense about Magnetics. (shows density of brain, involves magnetic fields and radio waves)
fMRI - f stands for functional, so it’s the functions/actions of the blood in your brain. I think of it as a combined PET + MRI because it looks at activity and obviously has the word MRI in it haha (sorry that’s a lame way to remember this one)</p>

<p>Another good one I use is, Can I Please Learn Reading.
Cornea, Iris, Pupil, Lens, Retina, which is the way light enters the eye.</p>

<p>Can someone please clarify unconditional response, conditional response, unconditional stimuli, and conditional stimuli for me please? >.<</p>

<p>whoa thanks!</p>

<p>^^ These are all components of classical conditioning. Think of Pavlov and his dogs. Everytime he gave them food (unconditioned stimulus), the dogs salivated (unconditioned response). These two things are normal and are just there. Pavlov didn’t have to do any conditioning to make them salivate at the sight/scent of food. However, what he did was he rang a bell or something before each time he gave the dogs food, thus pairing the unconditioned stimulus with a new conditioned stimulus. The ringing of the bell was the conditioned stimulus. And eventually, the dogs started salivating when the bell rang, even if there was no food. So the object was achieved: the subjects were conditioned to have a conditioned response (salivating) to a conditioned stimulus (bell) without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus (food).</p>

<p>Unconditioned response is a natural response. A dog sees food, he salivates. A conditioned response is when he’s been trained to do that. In Pavlov’s experiment, once the dog has been trained to associate the bell with food time, the salivation become a conditioned response when he head the bell. An unconditional stimuli would be the stimuli that creates the unconditioned response, like food causing salivation, the food would be the unconditioned stimuli. And finally, the conditioned stimuli would be the bell in Pavlov’s experiment since Pavlov had now CONDITIONED the dog to expect food once the stimuli (bell) was rung. Hope that explains it well enough.</p>

<p>What exactly happens in the Latency Stage of Freud’s Psychosexual Development?</p>

<p>Latency is usually the late elementary to middle school years. This is where the sexual feelings are there, but are still dormant.</p>

<p>Unconditioned stimuli - initially meaningful stimulus that causes the response
Unconditioned response - naturally occurring response
Conditioned stimuli (aka neutral stimulus) - new stimulus that causes the same response as the unconditioned stimuli
Conditioned response - naturally occurring response; is the same as the unconditioned response</p>

<p>So in Pavlov’s experiment,
the unconditioned stimulus was the dog food. The unconditioned response was the salivating.
The neutral stimulus, or the conditioned stimulus, was paired with the unconditioned stimulus to cause the same response. In other words, the sound of the bell (neutral stimulus) was paired with the dog food (unconditioned stimulus) to cause the salivation.
Eventually, the dogs learned to salivate (conditioned response) at just the sound of the bell (conditioned stimulus).</p>

<p>Latency period = psychosexual issues are suppressed</p>
