Study Notes
Drugs
- Psychoactive drugs influence perceptions, emotions, and behaviors.
- Drug abuse is using a drug illegally or to a point impacting physical or mental health.
- Drug misuse is using a drug to an extent that negatively affects physical or mental health.
- Physical dependence is relying on a drug for bodily function, causing withdrawal symptoms without it.
- Psychological dependence is relying on a drug for a specific psychological state, leading to preoccupation and obsession.
- Drug tolerance is reduced response to a drug, requiring larger doses for the same effect.
Factors Influencing Drug Effects
- Chemical properties of the drug.
- Administration method (injection, sniffing, etc.) impacts intensity.
- User's expectations influence the drug's actual impact.
- External variables (location, atmosphere, company) can alter perceived effects.
Drug Classification
-
Downers (Depressants): Slow down bodily functions, induce sleep and calmness. Overdose can lead to unconsciousness or death.
- Barbiturates
- Non-barbiturate hypnotic tranquilizers (e.g., Valium, Librium)
- Narcotics (e.g., morphine, heroin)
-
Uppers (Stimulants): Increase energy, alertness, and attentiveness. Excessive intake can lead to nervousness or insomnia.
- Caffeine
- Nicotine
- Cocaine
- Shabu/Methamphetamine
- Amphetamines
- Ecstasy
- Psychedelics
- Marijuana (effects depend on concentration and type of cannabis).
- LSD (Acid)
- PCP
Alcohol
- Most common depressant, individual and cultural effects vary.
- Effects include weakened judgment, impaired thought and restraint, reduced tension, and increased cheerfulness. Effects intensify the more alcohol consumed.
Reasons for Drug Use
- Curiosity
- Pharmacological advances perceived as solving psychological issues.
- Peer pressure
- Rebellion
- Seeking thrills and new experiences
- Trying to fit in.
Drug Abuse Patterns
- Experimental use
- Socio-recreational use
- Situational use
- Intensive use
- Compulsive use
Learning
- Learning is the process of gaining knowledge or skill through studying, practicing, or experiencing something. It influences how individuals perceive and react to their environment.
- Individual Variables: Intelligence, motivation, emotions, maturation matter for learning effectiveness.
- Task Variables: Difficulty and meaningfulness of material affect learning rate. Serial position effect shows primacy and recency effects in remembering information.
- Method Variables: Active learning involves high-order thinking, self-testing, and personal engagement; passive learning is less interactive.
-
Learning Perspectives:
- Behavioral: Focuses on observable behaviors and the environment's role in shaping learning, with a focus on reinforcement and punishment.
- Classical Conditioning: Neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus, producing a conditioned response. (Ex: Pavlov's dogs).
- Operant Conditioning: Learning through consequences, reinforcing desired behaviors and punishing undesired ones.
- Cognitive: Focuses on cognitive processes in learning—thoughts, insights, and problem-solving skills. Cognitive maps are mental representations of the environment. Latent learning is learning not immediately shown in behavior but is evident later.
- Social: Learning through observation and imitation of others. This is also known as vicarious learning
Memory
- Encoding: turning new information into a usable/recordable form in the sensory memory, including visual, acoustic, and semantic encoding.
- Retention (Storage): holding new information in memory, for short or long periods.
- Forgetting: theories of decay and interference, where new learnings hinder remembering old information)
- Retrieval (Remembering): recalling information from memory; recall vs. recognition are different ways.
- Factors affecting memory: Stimulus response, cognitive maps, latent learning
