<p>Can someone better explain acquisition to me? Page 92 of Barrons.</p>

<p>*what sleep stage is involved with spindles</p>

<p>what are spindles?*</p>

<p>idk =/</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure sleep spindles are in Stage 2 of sleep. What are they? Not gonna pretend to know this for sure, but I think that they indicate a suppressed level of consciousness and motor control.</p>

<p>The answer is A for all 3.</p>

<p>More: </p>

<p>Pleasant memories are most likely to be evoked by exposure to:
A. bright colors.
B. soft touches.
C. fragrant odors.
D. loud sounds. </p>

<p>In comparing the human eye to a camera, the film would be analogous to the eye's:
A.pupil.
B. lens.
C. cornea.
D. retina. </p>

<p>Rods are ________ light-sensitive and ________ color-sensitive than are cones.
A. more; more
B. less; less
C. more; less
D. less; more</p>

<p>I think Q2 might be A... No idea about Q3, will look up asap.</p>

<p>Spindles: REM. er..they're wavey things?</p>

<p>Acquisition refers to the stage of classical conditioning during which the NS comes to be associated with the UCR, which, of course, leads to the CS and CR.</p>

<p>question 3 is c</p>

<p>think Cones= Color</p>

<p>1st Q: I would guess C because smell is related more closely to memories (it doesn't go through the thalamus, it goes straight to limbic)
2nd Q: retina
3rd Q: either B or C. Rods are white black sensititive not color sensitive.</p>

<p>Thanks Soulside.</p>

<p>C, D, C??...not sure.</p>

<p>Q: What is a generalized reinforcer?</p>

<p>Q: What is a token economy?</p>

<p>Q: What is the Premack Principle?</p>

<p>Token Economy: An environment where receiving small items that can be redeemed for some type of reward encourages some type of behavior.</p>

<p>i.e. stickers in a classroom given for good behavior can be redeemeed for toys</p>

<p>reversepsych: You're right--C, D, C.</p>

<p>What are monocular cues and binocular cues?</p>

<p>Yay! Thanks for the link too!</p>

<p>Monocular: one eye can detect, often used in drawing: linear perspective, shading, interposition</p>

<p>Binocular: need to eyes, convergence, disparity.</p>

<p>I already asked that one a while back lol.</p>

<p>Mono cues are depth cues that can be used with one eye. Examples include texture gradient and shading.</p>

<p>Bino cues are depth cues that need two eyes. Examples include convergence (eyes coming together for something close together, the brain knows to take into account the movement of the eyes to figure out the distance) and retinal disparity (each eye sees stuff from slightly different angles).</p>

<p>Q: Why are variable schedules more resistant to extinction?</p>

<p>A generalized reinforcer can be traded for anything (e.g. $$$).
Premack principles the idea that reinforcing properties depend on situation.</p>

<p>I had to peek at Barrons. :x</p>

<p>Because the animal will keep waiting for the reward because they had to wait in the past. </p>

<p>Q: Explain learned helplessness.</p>

<p>When someone has learned to believe that they are helpless in a situation. People feel like they no longer have control and that the situation will end up inevitably in failure.</p>

<p>^Yeah, also, when for example dogs have learned helplessness through giving them shocks that are unavoidable, then are put in a situation where they can avoid the shocks, they will take longer to figure it out than dogs who were able to originally escape the shocks. </p>

<p>Q: Identify stages of grief</p>

<p>ouch...love to hear an explanation for that one thanks</p>

<p>I'm about to go eat dinner. I'll be on later guys =]</p>
