<p>availability heuristic is right, yeah. Ok, someone else ask a question. I can’t think of one right now :P</p>
<p>What is source amnesia?</p>
<p>Recall of particular information but an inability to remember how or when it was obtained.</p>
<p>List the APA ethical guidelines for human research.</p>
<p>uh…</p>
<ol>
<li>minimal harm to animals</li>
<li>humane capturing of animals</li>
<li>no risk of permenant damage to humans</li>
<li>idk what else</li>
</ol>
<p>What are the types of confounding variables and how do they affect reasearch?</p>
<p>I think blindtrombonist was referring to APA ethical guidelines for human research, so I’ll list those:</p>
<ol>
<li>Coercion - participation must be voluntary</li>
<li>Informed consent - ppl must consent to the particular research (can’t be RADICALLY deceiving)</li>
<li>No long term mental or physical risk</li>
<li>anonymity/confidentiality</li>
<li>debriefing</li>
</ol>
<p>Confounding variables include participant-relevant confounding variables that occur chiefly from lack of random assignment. Situation-relevant confounding variables include the use different research settings for the two groups (different type of room, time of day, etc.). Experimenter-confounding variables include experimenter-bias (tendency to treat the control and experimental groups differently in order to support hypothesis; can be eliminated by double-blinds). All these confounding variables affect research by challenging the position of whether or not the independent variable was solely responsible for the outcome.</p>
<p>In a normal curve, what percentage of people are within one standard deviation from the mean? Two standard deviations? Three standard deviations?</p>
<p>Yes, I did mean human, but animal is fine too. ^^; Now to your question.</p>
<p>One standard deviation: About 68%
Two Standard Deviations: About 96%
Three Standard Deviations: About 99%</p>
<p>Name the divisions of the Peripheral Nervous System and a brief description of each</p>
<p>Hey, what study books are you guys using? Which do you recommend…?</p>
<p>I recommend the one in my locker, 5 steps to a 5…oh but wait! You can’t go get it cuz they won’t let you in my school cuz of the fire.</p>
<p>GAHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>Barron’s is the best study book for thorough subject review in Psych, but at this point you may be better off to find a faster book.</p>
<p>Faster book?</p>
<p>I have the Barrons… it’s short and simple, imo, I can get through it in a day. Is that enough material covered for a 5 on the AP though?</p>
<p>Geez, you are a faster reader than I am then. I could never understand the info that quick. I do think it contains enough information, but you have to make sure you actually understand it or you won’t be on the path to get a 5.</p>
<p>I just want a 3!
Do you think I could get a 3 if I did <em>educated guesses</em> on the MC and slightly BSd the FRQ?</p>
<p>Yes, probably so. If you’ve read your review book and are guessing in an educated fashion as long as the FRQs aren’t completely bombed, a three should be probable as even on a bad curve 70/150 equals a 3.</p>
<p>Phew.</p>
<p>Any insight to this:

<p>Sorry to interrupt, imgoing2college, but I’m going to try to revive this thread to its original purpose.</p>
<p>My question was: Name the divisions of the Peripheral Nervous System and a brief description of each</p>
<p>PNS:</p>
<pre><code>* Somatic Nervous System - controls skeletal muscle as well as external sensory organs.
-
Autonomic Nervous System - controls involuntary muscles, such as smooth and cardiac muscle.
o Sympathetic - controls activities that increase energy expenditures. o Parasympathetic - controls activities that conserve energy expenditures.

<p>Explain the gate theory for pain (think that’s what it’s called)</p>
<p>gate theory is the blocking and carrying(signaling) of pain transmitters. it explains that the non-pain transmitters can go on through neurons in order to inhibit pain.</p>
<p>what is psychodynamic psychology and it’s famous people ?</p>
<p>Psychodynamic psychology, sometimes referred to as “dynamic psychology,” is an empirically validated approach to the study of the complex interplay between unconscious and conscious processes, and the effect of those inner forces on outward behavior and overall mental functioning.</p>
<p>Freud, Jung, Erikson</p>
<p>What is the “I knew it all along phenomena”?</p>
<p>it can be explained by the hindsight bias; explaining that after the problem or event has occured the person believes that he knew what was going to happen.</p>
<p>describre the different stages of birth for a human baby</p>
<p>Gah.
I don’t know then.</p>
<p>What’s the difference?</p>
