***Official AP Psychology Study Thread***

<p>stupak, good luck to you, too! thanks for all the great responses you gave tonight.
about your question, i've never heard of that term before (in a psychology text), and i doubt that we'd have to know that.</p>

<p>what is priming??</p>

<p>Priming in psychology refers to activating particular representations or associations in memory just before carrying out an action or task</p>

<p>hey what do we need to get a 5 on this test. What percent or the raw score thing</p>

<p>I heard that it's about 70% for a 5</p>

<p>is this considered hard or easy,,,,,cause i self studied this thing and im not doing so well on the princton practice test. Is the real test a little easier than the test books like baron and princeton</p>

<p>I heard that baron's questions are very close to the real exam, don't know about pr's.</p>

for the cannon-bard theory, emotion and biological changes occur simultaneously

[/quote]
</p>

<p>this is not true. emotional changes precede changes in the body.</p>

<p>in the two-factor theory, proposed by stanley schaeter, emotion is affected by both physical responses and cognitive labels.</p>

<p>in page 126 of the barron's review book, it says that they do occur simultaneously</p>

<p>yay i agree.</p>

<p>well i'll be damned--baaron seems to be contradicting itself
take a look at page 294 #23's explanation</p>

<p>but here is the wiki for it</p>

<p>Cannon-Bard theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A psychological theory which suggests that people feel emotions first, and then act upon them. These actions include changes in muscular tension, perspiration, etc.</p>

<p>interesting, i'll take a look at my textbook...</p>

<p>what's the difference between availability heuristic and representative heuristic?</p>

<p>availability heuristic - when we estimate probability of an outcoming occuring based on how easy it is to think of, or imagine, said outcome</p>

<p>representative heuristic -- juding event's probability based on probability of a known event</p>

<p>availability heuristic is when something from past comes to mind which influences your decision. representative heuristic is like a prototype and we judge things by it.</p>

<p>what is place theory/frequency theory?</p>

<p>humans can hear from 20hz-20000hz. which theory is best for low frequencies (20hz) and which is best for high frequencies (20000hz)?</p>

<p>place is best for high</p>

<p>Place theory says that hearing depends on how the cochlea responds to different frequencies... hairs vibrate in different PLACES.</p>

<p>Frequency theory is best for upper frequencies.</p>

<p>What is the </p>

<p>galvanic skin response (GSR) - is this when the hair of the skin stands up??</p>

<p>hindsight bias - is this bias of a person because they know what is going in the experiment or have some kind of previous knowledge??</p>

<p>is there a difference between schema and schemata?</p>

<p>so...general conclusion is that frequency is better for high frequencies and place theory for low frequencies?</p>

<p>what is bandura's social learning theory?</p>

<p>what are ganglion cells? are they some cells that send impulses to the thalamus?? Is the thalamus also known as LGN"? what is LGN?</p>

</p>

<p>dunno about frequencies yet -_-</p>

<p>bandura - observational learning with the bobo doll. the kiddies saw the adults beat the crap out of these dolls and then duplicated the behavior themselves.</p>
