<p>o ok..no idea about phonemes..how did u reason that out
its just sounds?</p>
<p>2 phonemes? "tree-suh"</p>
<p>bah i don't under stand phonemes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>phonemes are the smallest units of sound used in language. so in "trees", the four phonemes are t-r-ee-s. think of the greek (?) root "phone" meaning "sound"</p>
<p>what are the major character disorders?</p>
<p>character... you mean personality?</p>
<p>histrionic- attention-grabbing
antisocial- disregard of societal rigths and interests
narcissistic- you are the center of the universe- self-focus
dependent- you need someone to care for you
paranoid- you are always suspicious of others' intentions</p>
<p>who is ernst weber?</p>
<p>ernst weber = psychophysicist; Weber's law, which states that the change needed to notice a change of a stimulus is proportional to the original intensity of the stimulus, for ex, if someone pokes you really hard, that someone has to poke you much harder for you to notice a difference from his/her original poke than if he/she poked you not so hard</p>
<p>what's Clever Hans experiment?</p>
<p>haha..the horsy!</p>
<p>Oskar Pfungst had to check out this horse name Clever Hans and see if it could really do arithmetic (it seemed to tap out correct answers with its hoof) It turned out that it was just reacting to body cues from people around it. Thus, the Clever Hans effect is when an animal is led to do something to do by body langauge from and interaction with the researcher. This affects cognition studies with animals, and thus psychologists prefer to test the animals in isolated areas.</p>
<p>What is Huntington's Chorea and what brain structure is it linked to?</p>
<p>Huntington's Chorea has to do with muscle impairment linked to the basal ganglia. It usually doesn't develop until post-40s, so people don't really know they have it until adulthood, and don't really know whether they are passing it down to their offspring or not.</p>
<p>heres one, what is parentese?</p>
<p>ok..first of all...where r u getting all these terms from?? are they in barrons or myers' textbook??
and second..do u think studying late and waking up late since the test is late will affect our sleep cycle or should we do it</p>
<p>parentese = the way parents talk to babies to interact with them; think of "ese" ending as a usual suffix for languages, as in chinese, japanese, vietnamese, ...</p>
<p>what do endorphins, epinephorins, and norepinephorins do?</p>
<p>lol well i'm getting parentese out of wikipedia :-P</p>
<p>it's generally referred to as baby-talk, when mothers make "coo-ing" noises . researchers believe that it is an important part of the emotional bonding process and contributes to cognitive development, and plays a role in teaching the basic function and structure of language.</p>
<p>what are etics and emics?</p>
<p>endorphins- released from exercise, causes happiness (the legally blonde definition- still works in my book)</p>
<p>epinephrine- adrenaline (fight or flight- increase heartrate, blood flows to head, the works) sympathetic nervous system related</p>
<p>norepinphrine- noradrenaline- parasympathetic related (?) (it brings you back to normal from fight or flight)</p>
<p>AND... parentese was in my textbook, just not in the review book- hmm. =/</p>
<p>um i dont think these terms, which ive never heard of, will be on the test...</p>
<p>can anyone explain the ebbinghaus curvE?</p>
<p>is your text book rod plotniks? im reading all the terms in that textbook right now... </p>
<p>is there any conceptual nonterm stuff I should know?</p>
<p>mine is zimbardo- psych and life. ebbinghaus curve relates to what we're doing right now- cramming. he tested memorization of nonsense syllables, and created a curve of how many syllables were remembered after x number of days, for a month. he plotted the data on the curve and showed that during the first few days, the people forget A LOT of the syllables they memorized (like ~70%) and then gradualls forgets more as the month passed.</p>
<p>What is the major problem with:</p>
<p>a.) Questionnaires
b.) Interviews
c.) Correlation</p>
<p>in experiments?</p>
<p>haha how fitting</p>
<p>questionnaires - people can lie, sample may not be representative
interviews - takes time, small sample, lie
correlation - not causation</p>
<p>good luck guys</p>
<p>one finally question before i go to sleep- Who founded the term "culture of honor," and what is it?</p>
<p>Good luck everyone.</p>
