<p>be back to review in a little =]
haha such a nerd this weekend</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No idea, I don't have that review book. I pulled those questions off the top of my head.</p>
<p>@soulside
These are vague guesses...
Q1:C.Librium
Q2: dunno
Q3: stress alert-cope-exhaustion (or something like that)
Q4: Never hear of those terms
Q5: limbic system made of mainly thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, hyppocampus. Thalamus is like a phone operator that relays info to where it should go in the brain. Hypothalamus controls endocrine system (thus, controls hormones, hunger, growth, etc). Amygdala for emotion, and hyppocampus for memory (but memories arent actually stored here, they're only processed here).</p>
<p>anyone here to keep the studying going??</p>
<p>whoa.....some much stuff I don't know lol. ANyone have a website (like apush one) that determines your score?</p>
<p>bumping this up</p>
<p>Q- difference between operant and classical conditioning</p>
<p>ok, to keep it simple, operant conditioning involves pos./neg reinforcement and pos/neg punishment. the positive indicates something being added so in the case of reinforcement, something good is added...and in the case of positive punishment, something sucky is added</p>
<p>and with negative, in reinforcement , something sucky is taken away, and in punishment, something awesome is taken away.</p>
<p>and classical conditioning involves an US and UR and CS and CR...so the salivating dogs...the US is the food, UR is the salivation. CS is the bell, CR is salivating at the sound of the bell...</p>
<p>Does the AP psych test have a lot on functions of various brain parts and other more biological questions? I'm bad at remembering those... Right now if there was a free response question saying something like define the medulla, cerebellum, and pons, I'd be totally screwed.</p>
<p>I like Barron's so far...</p>
<p>anyone here to study?</p>
<p>bitCCh: A lot of people use either 5 Steps to a 5 or Barron's. I have both and prefer Barron's since it looks shorter and has plenty of margin space (to take notes). 5 Steps to a 5 looks really wordy, but I guess you could read the Rapid Review at the end of every chapter to cram/review.</p>
<p>seanbow: According to my review books, the exam covers biological bases of behavior and cognition the most (both are 8%-10%). I'm really bad at remembering parts of the brain as well. ):</p>
<p>back to questions: define- gestalt psychology</p>
<p>I need confirmation about the sleep stages. Somehow, I'm never sure. Tell me whether i'm right or not.
Stage 1: light sleep, theta wave, hypnic jerks
Stage 2: sleep spindles, theta and delta
Stage 3 and 4: slow wave sleep, delta
Stage 5: REM, beta</p>
<p>gestalt psychology: the whole is greater than the sum of its part
I usually think of the perception principles: proximity, closure, similarity, simplicity, continuity. Basically, our brains use the "top-down processing" for perception to make life a bit easier.</p>
<p>Describe Piaget's stage theory for development.</p>
<p>one more thing. how much should i be concerned about names??</p>
<p>rade88: Can't really define it, but it examines the experience as a whole? Something like that.</p>
<p>Pevee: I think that's right. I don't think delta is a part of Stage 2 though.</p>
<p>Barron's has a list of the top 25 psychologists you should know. (:</p>
<p>blackberry: so there's no specific wave name attached to sleep spindles? thanks in advance</p>
<p>quick question: ARe the tests in the Barrons book harder than the real AP exam questions? b/c with the SATs & Subjects, they are way harder. I was wondering if it was the same for AP exams.</p>
<p>Pevee: I'm not sure what you mean? Sorry, I really need to review consciousness. </p>
<p>jumpngo: Barron's seems kind of harder (I haven't taken any the practice MCs yet).</p>
<p>Hey, we should have a little chatroom review session tomorrow! (: What time would be best for you (please tell timezone)? And should we have it on AIM or some website like Chatzy?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Q1: Correct.
Q2: The researcher's name was DeLoache.
Q3: Alarm/resistance/exhaustion - close enough.
Q4: Might be IB Psych exclusively, I'm not sure. Anyway, they were termed by Martin Seligman and the idea is that animals perform some behaviors naturally and instinctually, such as a cat licking itself. These are prepared behaviors. Unprepared behaviors do not occur naturally but can be conditioned - for example, teaching a dog to roll over. Contraprepared behaviors CANNOT be conditioned, usually because they oppose an animal's naturally-occurring behavior.
Q5: Correct.</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>I have a question! <em>><</em>
you know theres this type of question..where they ask something like,
"if sara is a split-brain patient, and a baseball is shown at her right visual field, would she be able to name it? would she be able to point to it?"</p>
<p>and...
"if theres a mosquito on one of your hands in your right visual field, which hand would you use to hit it?"</p>
<p>I'm SO confused about this :/</p>
