<p>Wait a quick question -- is the structure of say, the brain and the nervous system essential to AP Psych? I was looking through the prep book and there's two chapters over that in PR.</p>

7

<p>yes, they ask alot about both. its easy though, just know the basic divisions of the nervous system, and the basic divisions of the brain (and a broad idea of what they do, not specifically, but categorically.)</p>

<p>No...the g factor was Spearman.</p>

<p>Seligman came up with Learned helplessness.</p>

<p>do we need to know the names of the psychologists and who discovered what and so on?</p>

16

<p>fixed interval= every 3 minutes, things come out
fixed ratio= every 3 presses the button, a food comes out.
variable interval= food comes out sometimes at 3 minutes sometimes at 5

<p>paranoid-preoccupation with delusions, hallucinations
disorganized-innapropriate emotion
catatonic-immobility, extreme negativism, repetition
undifferentiated-many symptoms
residual-withdrawl</p>

<p>what are the different theories of light/color (vision)?</p>

19

<p>trichromatic: 3 colors of cones form all spectrum of the colors
opponent theory: red/green blue/orange yellow/purple--when one of the color is stimulated, the opposing color is inhibited. this will cause the after image effect.</p>

<p>Thorndike law of effect</p>
