<p>Bottom Up processing is when we use the features of the object to build a complete perception. It takes longer than Top down, but is more accurate.</p>
<p>Q: Name and describe two binocular depth cues.</p>
<p>Retinal disparity - each eye views something from a different angle</p>
<p>Convergence - Eyes must move toward each other to keep an object coming closer to your face focused - tells brain how close the object is.</p>
<p>^ Correct!</p>
<p>Another Q: Explain the difference between dualism and monism.</p>
<p>Monism: Fundamental idea that all is one. there are no separations</p>
<p>dualism is that there are two separe parts of body and mind</p>
<p>did i explain that good?</p>
<p>Q: How many stages are in Erik Erikkson's Development Series?</p>
<p>Good question, I needed to look that up. Good to learn something new right before the test. :P</p>
<p>Dualism - people who believe that humans consist of thought and matter
Monism - thought and matter are one in the same - when you die, they are both extinguished</p>
<p>Q: What is eidetic memory? </p>
<p>On a side note, which books are you guys using to study? Have you taken any practice tests?</p>
<p>dualism = body mind separate
monism = body and mind together</p>
<p>I'm using barrons (marvelous book, but a tad too long at rush hour :(). I took the 1st practice test, and got like a mid-4 (with no review whatsoever. this was 1 week ago). I'm taking my next prac test today about 1 hour from now.</p>
<p>Well, there's Trust vs. Mistrust, Shame vs. Autonomy and Doubt, Initiative vs. Guilt, Industry vs. Inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation and integrity vs. despair (I can't believe I remembered all of those). That's a total of 8.</p>
<p>@videogames. For class we used Meyers' 7th edition. So, I am using that a little. Then I am using Barron's 08 Psych review.</p>
<p>Also my teacher gave us lists of 150 common terms on the AP test and the top 100 psychologists (only recommended to know top 25)</p>
<p>Q: Define the following: Conscious level, Nonconscious level, Preconscious level, Subconscious level, and Unconscious level.</p>
<p>^arrg... llpitch's questions are too specific! (no offense intended. this is just a non-emotional statement)</p>
<p>Q: Compare the left and right hemispheres of the brain</p>
<p>Conscious - What you are thinking at the moment</p>
<p>Nonconscious - What your body is controlling right now</p>
<p>Preconscious - What you can bring into your mind, but are not currently thinking</p>
<p>Subconscious - what you know must exist due to behavior (can someone give an example of this?)</p>
<p>Unconscoius - What has been repressed and is not accessible</p>
<p>Q: There are two information processing theory/models. Explain both and differentiate between them.</p>
<p>Conscious: What we're thinking about at the moment
Nonconscious: um..things we don't need to think about, heartbeat, etc?
Preconscious: things we could be thinking about, memory
Subconscious: Freud impulses, etc
Unconscious: again, um..</p>
<p>Left hemisphere: used for speech, logical thinking, etc</p>
<p>Right hemisphere: creative thinking</p>
<p>Q: EEG vs MRI vs PET vs CAT vs fMRI?</p>
<p>There are actually more than two, but here is explanation of two:
information proccessing model: Encoding, storage, retrieval, like a computer, etc.
3 Box model: Sensory memory (almost infinite, lasts for less than a second), Short term (~7 items, about 30 seconds), Long term (almost infinite, forever)
Short term passes information on to longterm, can be kept in short term by maitenance rehearsal. </p>
<p>Others are: parallel distributed and levels of proccessing.</p>
<p>Q: Compare the left and right hemispheres of the brain</p>
<p>A: Both have the four areas of the cerebral cortex: frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe. The left hemisphere gets sensory messages and controls the right half of our body. The right gets sensory messages and controls the left half of our body. In the occipital lobe, impulses from the left half of each retina are processed in the left occiptal lobe while impuleses from the right half of each retina are processed in the right occiptal lobe. Some researches believe that the left hemisphere is more active during logic and sequential tasks while the right hemi is more active during spatial or creative tasks. The left hemi also typically controls speech.</p>
<p>Q: EEG vs MRI vs PET vs CAT vs fMRI?</p>
<p>A: EEG is used for brain waves, PET for brain activity, CAT and MRI for brain structure and fMRI is a combo of MRI and PET I think.</p>
<p>EEG - measures brain waves</p>
<p>MRI - detailed version of CAT </p>
<p>CAT - Shows if there are physical problems with brain - 3D view</p>
<p>PET - measures chemicals in your brain</p>
<p>fMRI - new tech. - combines MRI and PET</p>
<p>fMRI is combination of PET and MRI</p>
<p>Subconscious - what you know must exist due to behavior (can someone give an example of this?)</p>
<p>An example would be the reasoning behind the mere-exposure effect. We would be more inclined to pick something we have seen before over something new, even if we don't remember the old stimuli.</p>
