Let's Study Psych Together :)

<p>Explain the similarity between Real self and the Parkinson's Disease. </p>

<p>*This is a hard question.</p>

<p>I have no clue what the "Real Self" is but Parkinson's disease is caused by the degeneration of the CNS and the motor cortex (?), and lack of dopamine. Basically means loss in movement. </p>

<p>Bleh. I'm not sure if I'm right. Can someone answer the original question?</p>

<p>BTW can some explain to me the basis behind attitudes (i.e Congitive Dissonance Theory and Relationship of Actions/Behaviors/Influences and Attitudes)? My text doesn't cover it really well.</p>

<p>real self-Theory of people's wants and wills found in idealism.</p>

<p>People have a real self or 'real will' which is what they would want if they reflected in a fully rational way on their interests. It will frequently differ from their expressed will, or what they say and believe that they want.</p>

<p>Some other person or institution, such as government, may therefore know what people's 'will' is better than they do themselves.</p>

<p>This is according to <a href="http://www.philosophyprofessor.com/philosophies/real-self.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.philosophyprofessor.com/philosophies/real-self.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Let's discuss about psychologists and their significant work...</p>

<p>ex) Willam James - Functionalism, Principle of Psychology
Wundt - Structuralism, built first psychology lab....</p>

<p>What's the difference between fundamental attribution error and actor-perceiver bias?</p>

<p>Fundamental Attribution Error = Attributing the success or failure of a person to that person and not to the environment. For example, if a person answers a question wrong in class, you attribute the wrong answer to the person's intelligence, not, for example, the quality of their study time (perhaps they don't have an adequate place to study, has to baby-sit, etc.)</p>

<p>Actor-Observer Bias = Attributing other people's behavior to them and their personalities, but attributing your behavior to situational factors. For example, if a student is late to class, you think the person is lazy. If it's you that's late, you attribute being late to your surroundings, such as: the bus was late, alarm clock didn't work, etc.</p>

<p>course-notes has some notes and mult choice practice!</p>

<p>Go on David G. Myers' website. He has tons of practice activities. Google "David Myers Psychology"</p>

<p>Explain the steps by which auditory impulses are created (ex. sound enters the auditory canal...).</p>

<p>where are the pratice tests? I can only find the page with all the different edition of books.</p>

<p>here are the quizzes... now... back onto task:</p>

<p>Lithium Carbonate is used to treat what? and describe what the mental disorder is about.</p>

<p>Lithium Carbonate is an antipsychotic used to treat biopolar disorder and depression. It basically later the sodium configuration to the nerves and usually treat the disorders by diminishing the the intensity and frequency of the eposides. </p>

<p>Explain the Rosenthal Effect.</p>

<p>any 1 got answers to the released 2004 ap psych test if you do hook them up thx</p>

<p>Rosenthal Effect - AKA Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, when someone expects you to do well, one tries to conform to that beliefe</p>

<p>Can some explain to me the basis behind attitudes (i.e Congitive Dissonance Theory and Relationship of Actions/Behaviors/Influences and Attitudes)?</p>

<p>i have the 1999 test and answers... i'd be willing to trade for the 2004 with answers...</p>

<p>if i just study the course notes will that be enough for the test tomorrow?</p>

<p>Does anybody know how good 5 steps to a 5 is? Cause that's really all I'm using.</p>

<p>5 steps to a 5? they have that for psych? Barron's is the best anyway, though.</p>

<p>come to the aim chat room appsych07.</p>

<p>and five steps to a five is decent but not as good as barrons.</p>

<p>What's the strongest and weakest schedules of reinforcement?</p>

<p>5 steps for a 5 was all I could find at the time.</p>
