Let's Study Psych Together :)

<p>Can someone explain the monocular pictorial depth cues: interposition, texture gradient, height in plane, relative size, linear perspective, and light and shadow? I don't think my textbook does a very good job of describing them. Thanks.</p>

<p>I'm 99% sure you won't need that for the exam. If it does show up, you won't need to know any more information than the absolute basics.</p>

<p>Sorry, I know this has been on here before but can somebody explain the James-Lange, Cannon-Bard and those theories. Just the basics. Simple little diagrams would do. Thanks so much.</p>

<p>James Lange: environmental stimuli cause physiological changes and responses. The experience of emotion is a result of physiological change</p>

<p>Cannon-Bard: Emotion is a result of neural activity in the thalamus. Physiological changes and emotional responses occur simultaneously</p>

<p>Does anyone know how similar to the real test the Princeton Review tests are? I got 25 wrong on the Princeton test and wanted to know if that is an accurate indicator of where I'm at right now</p>

<p>strongest is variable ratio, like gambling.</p>

<p>Anyone here have MSN? It would be easier to quiz each other that way..</p>

<p>The strongest isn't variable ratio, it's continuous reinforcement. The desired behavior is reinforced every single time it occurs. This results in faster learning... HOWEVER:</p>

<p>the most resistant to extinction is variable ratio. It's harder to detect a break in the rewarding this way.</p>

<p>What would be some likely essay questions??? And in Barrons, what would be the best chapters to cram now???</p>

<p>... I've learned something from all this.... DON'T PRORASTINATE!!!!</p>

<p>Definitely chapter 2, and know your psychoanalytic theory.</p>

<p>methods is a REALLY good chapter to know.</p>

<p>methods of what?</p>

<p>And what book do you have rockermcr? or rather, what is your chapter 2 about?</p>

<p>how do u join the chatroom?</p>

<p>methods includes descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, z scores, t-tests, standard deviation, bell curve, correlations, PSYCH ETHICS, sampling, research methods (experiments vs. naturalistic observations vs. survey, etc) ....
Methods is Chapter 2 of Barrons, I'm sure thats what rockermcr was talking about. </p>

<p>I would also know these topics because they always seem to show up on past exams and barron's:
neurotransmitters!!!
schizophrenia, and psych disorders in general
EEG, CAT, MRI, PET, fMRI and differences btwn them
depth cues (mono-, bino-)
sleep stages
drugs - what kind, what they treat, etc
Big theories... such as james lange, trait, etc.
classical vs operant conditioning
therapy for psych disorders</p>

<p>Haha, but each year it's relatively the same :P</p>

<p>You have to admit that the second FR question was definitely out of the ordinary...</p>

<p>True, but generally it's very similar. The second FR... well I guess we were supposed to study that anyway.</p>

<p>the mc was cake i think i got over 85 but the essays were insane....if i get about 85-90 right on the mc and 50% of the points for the essays is it still a 5?</p>

<p>i dunno.i though the second FR was relatively easy seeing how we just studied...the last chapter in the text. ugh i just wished i had photographic memory or something instead of just babbling and rambling before i eventually get my point across.</p>

<p>what happens if for an FRQ we answer the question directly, but right after that make a completely incorrect statement and tie it to the answer? Would that get credit?</p>
