<p>Only 3 more days, people! Who else is going to do a lot of cramming this weekend?</p>
<p>My plan:
Saturday: Read half of Barron's; take review quizzes; maybe watch some "Discovering Psychology"
Sunday: Read other half of Barron's; more review quizzes
Monday: Do practice tests/FRQs; review trouble areas</p>
<p>I took a practice MC in class and only got 54 right. Yikes.</p>
<p>bump~shold we start a review game?</p>
<p>Two books to study from, which is better: 5 steps to a 5 or Princeton's Cracking the AP Psychology exam?</p>
<p>Any links to online cram sheets?</p>
<p>5 steps to 5 is better, according to our psych teacher.
students at our school have been using 5 steps for years, and apparantly, they get 5's.
i should start studying D:</p>
<p>We should start a review game! (:</p>
<p>Describe Eysenck's three factor model of personality.</p>
<p>-Classify people according to an intra/extraversion scale and a stable/unstable scale to find their personalities. </p>
<p>Q: Which part of your nervous system controls voluntary movements?</p>
<p>Is it the central nervous system?</p>
<p>Which stage of sleep is characterized by brain waves with spindles and K-complexes?</p>
<p>Stage 2? </p>
<p>(This is a real quesiton I don't get): What is the difference between free association and client-centered therapy?</p>
<p>@Video- Somatic
@black- Stage 2
@video Free association is where the client just talks and talks about anything while the 2nd one is where the client says something and the therapist revolves around that and says stuff like "how does that make you feel"</p>
<p>Yeah the first answer is somatic.</p>
<p>Thanks az, it seems kind of similar, but I get it now. </p>
<p>Name a primary drive and a secondary drive.</p>
<p>^I have no idea about that</p>
<p>Questions:
What is an SSRI?
What is the gate-control theory?
What does the vestibular sense do? The kinesthetic sense?</p>
<p>The gate control theory has something to do with pain...I think it's the one that states that lower priorities of pain aren't sent to the brain when you are experiencing higher levels of pain somewhere else. If you are only experiencing small pain, and nothing major, then the gate-control theory states that you will feel that pain.</p>
<p>The vestibular sense is your ability to know your orientation in space (like walking on a line with your eyes closed). Your kinesthetic sense has to do with knowing where each of your body parts are located. </p>
<p>I needed to look up SSRI...it's a drug that increases the activity of the neurotransmitter: serotonin. </p>
<p>Q: In whose stage theory are concepts of conservation and object permanence learned?</p>
<p>-Primary drives are biological, which could be hunger. Secondary drives are learned, which could be something like money.
-SSRI; I forget what it stands for, but it is the scale where stress is measured, in terms of LCU's (Life Changing Units).
-Gate Control Theory describes the process by which pain is felt; more intense pains will overshadow less intense ones. Basically, certain pains are given sensational priority to other ones.
-Vestibular sense describes the entire body's position (think vest -> body), and kinesthetic sense describes the position of particular body parts.</p>
<p>Question, kids:
Charlie the Unicorn hates candy and mountains after an adventure that resulted in him losing a kidney (long story). From an operant conditioning perspective, explain why he hates candy and mountains now.</p>
<p>Ooh shoot, that's why I couldn't figure out what it stood for... I was thinking of the SRRS. Woops.</p>
<p>^Btw, SSRI is something like Serotonin S(I for got what the 2nd 'S' letter meant) reuptake inhibitors. It refers to drugs such as Prozac and Xanax that kind of work like an enzyme for serotonin to work through your body so that your depression is lifted (it takes about a month for effects to show)</p>
<p>@videogames9 -> I think it was in Piaget's stage of preoperational stage (right after the sensorymotor stage) that kids learn conservation and object permanence (correct? correct me if I'm wrong)</p>
<p>Q: Compare proactive vs retroactive interference</p>
<p>Erm...he associates candy and mountains with losing the kidney; so his behaviors with candy and mountains are punished and therefore are less likely to occur? </p>
<p>I'm not great at operant conditioning. X-(</p>
<p>Q: Name the neurotransmitter that is associated with depression, upon lack of.</p>
<p>Sensorimeter was the stage in which object permanence is learned and concrete operational is when concepts of conservation are learned. </p>
<p>Proactive interference is when one has trouble recalling info that is more recent, while retroactive is when one has trouble recalling info from the past, due to more recent memory.</p>
<p>@videogames9 -> lack of serotonin (this is why we take SSRIs, such as prozac and xanax)</p>
<p>Q: describe Maslow's hierarchy of needs</p>
