<p>law of effect- things that produce a pleasant/satisfying effect in a particular situation are more likely to occur again. conversely, responses that produce an unpleasant effect, less likely to do it again. </p>
<p>for the fixed/variable ratio/interval, which combo best keeps the person on their feet, guessing, and no extinction?</p>
<p>i think that would variable ratio- cause gambling has a very strong effect.
Erikson's stages of Dilemas -describe it</p>
<p>I second variable ratio as well.</p>

<p>any of yall use kaplans to study? my class used barrons.... and someone gave me kaplans for the practice tests. I didn't know any of the questions on kaplan. This is coming from someone that knows that Myers Psych book backwards and forwards. I guess I'm just wondering how reliable the kaplan book is...</p>
<p>i hear barrons is almost identical to the ap exam</p>
<p>barron and princeton</p>
<p>Erikson's stages of psychosocial development:
infancy-trust vs mistrust
toddler-autonomy vs shame, doubt
preschool-initiative vs guilt
elementary school-competence vs inferiority
adolescence-identity vs role confusion
young adult-intimacy vs isolation
middle adult-generativity vs stagnation (contributing to the world, purpose)
late adult-integrity vs dispair (life satisfaction)</p>
<p>Who can explain everything we need to know about standard deviation/variance??</p>
<p>I don't understand standard deviation either.</p>
<p>the quick and easy definition is the measure of variance between things. You dont need to know how to find it as you wont have a calculator</p>

<p>Weber's Law.</p>
<p>does anyone have an old multiple choice exam? i would appreciate it if someone could send it to me, i have some exams for other subjects</p>
<p>the greater the magnitude of the stimulus, the larger the differences must be noticed</p>
<p>REM..........</p>
<p>REM = rapid eye movement, paradoxical sleep, before stage 1, brain waves similar to those when you're awake</p>
<p>Aaron Beck's view on depression</p>
<p>depression is a result of the negative ideas you harbor towards yourself, the world, and your future</p>
<p>criticisms of jean piaget's cognitive development?
criticisms of lawrence kohlberg's moral development?</p>
<p>piaget: he underestimated children - they go through the stages faster and enter them earlier than he predicted; development might occur more continuously than he described as opposed to discrete stages
kohlberg: he developed the model based on the responses of boys and assumed it's the same for girls...it turns out that there are differences between girls and boys with respect to moral development (go figure :) )</p>
<p>Let's see...information-processing model of memory...go!</p>
<p>There are three processes
Sensory which encodes into short term memory which then encodes into the long-term memory. If memory is not retrieved form the long term memory then, it will decay.</p>
<p>distinguish the following
classical conditioning vs operant conditioning
positive reinforcement vs negative reinforcement
positive punishment vs negative punishment</p>
<p>classical conditioning-pairing neutral stimulus (becomes conditioned stimulus)with unconditioned response (becomes conditioned response) to shape behavior
operant conditioning-rewards/punishments shape behavior
positive reinforcement-strengthening a behavior by adding something desired
negative reinforcement-strengthening a behavior by taking away something undesired
positive punishment-decreasing a behavior by adding something undesired
negative punishment-decreasing a behavior by taking away something desired</p>
<p>how is sound processed through the ear?</p>
<ol>
<li>sound wave enters the ear canal and causes the ear drum to vibrate. </li>
<li>the vibration is transferred onto the hammer, which is connected to the anvil, which is connected to the stirrup. </li>
<li>the vibration is then transmitted to the oval window, which is attached to the cochlea. </li>
<li>this causes fluids to move within the cochlea, which is lined with hair cells connected to the organ of Corti</li>
<li>hair cells move and organ of Corti fire to signal the brain via the auditory nerve.</li>
