<p>E. Representative Heuristic</p>

<p>Pregunta: Sue is unable to learn a new list of vocublary terms after she just studied for an hour to memorize another list of terms. What is this an example of?</p>

<p>retroactive intereference</p>

<p>I just checked back at my notes, it is smell that isn't part of the thalamus. I can't tell what the justification for that is, though.</p>

<p>The parietal lobe includes the sense of touch though, so that one isn't the answer.</p>

<p>This test is gonna be hard...</p>

<p>The answer was availability heuristic; and the answer to this one is proactive (think--> pro means new (i think), so the new is actively interfered with, hence, proactive interference. eh? eh? yeeah i know that was bad)</p>

<p>Describe the Festinger and Carlsmith Study, including the psychological concept that it exemplified.</p>

<p>retroactive is when you have learned something and it interferes with the new stuff no? wouldn't that be the case here</p>

<p>Sue tried to learn a new list (new information), but couldn't because the old list interfered. This is the definition of proactive; you got the two backwaards</p>

<p>damit......Guess I'll review that lol. Thanks for the correction (better now then my frq on the test....)</p>

<p>It was retroactive.. And **** that wasnt representative? I think I get it..</p>

<p>Q: Explain the difference between the Trichromatic Theory and the Opponent-Process Theory of Color Vision.</p>

<p>Q: compare external vs internal locus of control</p>

<p>Internal locus of control, we believe we are in control of what happens to us. External outside forces control it?</p>

<p>Q: Name the CS and CR in Pavlov's classic experiment with dogs.</p>

<p>^ CS = bell ringing
CR = salivation</p>

<p>The CS was the bell and the CR was salivation.</p>

<p>Someone ask another quesiton.</p>

<p>Q: Explain the difference between the Trichromatic Theory and the Opponent-Process Theory of Color Vision.</p>

<p>Q: Explain the difference between the two pitch theories: Place Theory and Frequency Theory.</p>

<p>trichromatic is the theory that the retina has three types of color receptors.</p>

<p>Opponent-Process is like Red vs Green, Blue vs Yellow, and Black vs White</p>

<p>feel free to correct. </p>

<p>Explain Bandura's imapct on Psych</p>

<p>Trichromatic Theory is that there are three colors that mix to create other colors (very bad explanation), Opponent-Process states that colors come in pairs - red/green, yellow/blue, etc. and that after constant exposure to one color in the pair, the receptors for that color are fatigued and the other color becomes are afterimage (also explains color blindness).</p>
