<p>Id- basics unconcious desires food, sex, etc</p>
<p>Ego- regulate the desires of the Id and the concience of the superego. Also protects the mind from things that would be too painful by using defense mechanisms</p>
<p>Superego- concience, do what's right</p>
<p>Ok what is the activation synthesis and info processing theories of dreams?</p>
<p>Activation synthesis says that basically dreams brain's interpretations of what is occuring during the REM sleep.
Info processing theory says that we process the information we get during the day. So, higher levels of stress during the day yeilds more dreams. Babies have to process a lot of info everyday so they sleep a lot more than adults.</p>
<p>Explain the five reflexes found in babies but fade away when they grow older.</p>
<p>rooting, sucking, babinski....all I can think of.</p>
<p>sucking, Babinski (stroking foot = toes spread out), rooting (head turns when cheek is touched), grasping (palmar reflex) and Moro reflex (hands/feet fly up or forward at a loud sound)</p>
<p>Describe the two-component theory of emotion.</p>
<p>two-component theory of emotion- to feel emotion we must notice the stimuli and cognitively label it.</p>
<p>Semantic, acoustic, and visual encoding</p>

<p>you guys can take a practice AP psych test online...they give you results right away and you can see what you missed, etc. Click on the AP Psychology link</p>
<p>semantic encoding-understanding/processing info by meaningfulness
acoustic ...-....by sound
visual...-...by what you see</p>
<p>Barnum effect? Premack principle?</p>
<p>Premack Principle: a more desireable reinforcer can be use to reinforce a less desirable one- in other words: each person has different view on the reinforcement; it can be good or bad</p>
<p>Barnum effect: the observation that individuals will give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people.= this can be correlated with the astrology crap</p>
<p>whorfian hypothesis.</p>
<p>hmm do you know of a site with terms? neither premack or whorfian hyptohesis is in my textbook. do we have to know those?</p>
<p>whats a whorfian hypothesis? Never even heard that before</p>
<p>Does anyone know how important names are on this test?</p>
<p>Are there any psychologists we shoudl be particulrly familiar with?</p>
<p>I think Whorfian hypothesis refers to Whorf's (Benjamin perhaps?) linguistic relativity idea, i.e. that the language we speak can limit what we can think about/how we think.</p>
<p>can anyone explain the process of perception, like how it enters cornea, etc.?</p>

<p>what's the difference between anteriograde amnesia and retrograde amnesia?</p>
<p>anterograde is that you cannot form new memories after an accident (will be unable to remember things for no more than a few seconds), but you don't lose anything prior to the accident.</p>

<p>** How many phonemes and morphemes are in the word "trees"</p>
<p>two morphemes - one unit of meaning is tree ; the other is 's'</p>

<p>i actually got 4 when i wrote it out...</p>
<p>"t" - "r" - "ee" - "s" (the sounds)</p>
<p>and yeah - 2 morphemes, one for the root, another for the "s" making it plural trees</p>
