Study Notes
Intelligence Concepts
- Analytical intelligence: Involves critical thinking and problem-solving skills that help in reasoning and understanding complex ideas.
- Crystallized intelligence: Represents accumulated knowledge and facts that individuals have learned over time.
- Flynn effect: Describes the observed increase in IQ scores across generations throughout the 20th century.
Psychological Theories
- Locus of control: Refers to the degree to which individuals believe they can control events affecting them; it can be internal (personal control) or external (controlled by outside forces).
- Reciprocal determinism: Suggests that behavior is influenced by cognitive processes and external factors, highlighting the interplay between personal, behavioral, and environmental influences.
- Rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT): A therapeutic approach that challenges irrational and self-defeating beliefs to change behavior patterns.
Brain Structures and Functions
- Ventromedial hypothalamus: Associated with feelings of fullness and satiety after eating.
- Lateral hypothalamus: Promotes hunger and eating behaviors when stimulated.
- Thalamus: Acts as the brain's sensory relay station, processing and transmitting sensory information.
- Somatosensory cortex: Receives and interprets sensory input from the body, including touch, pain, and temperature.
- Pons: Plays a role in regulating sleep and autonomic functions, acting as a bridge between various parts of the nervous system.
Memory Types
- Episodic memory: The memory associated with specific events and experiences from an individual's life.
- Stimulus generalization: Occurs when a response is elicited by stimuli similar to a previously conditioned stimulus.
Psychological Perspectives
- Psychodynamic: Emphasizes the interplay of the id, ego, and superego in behavior and personality dynamics.
- Behavioral: Focuses on observable behaviors and how they are shaped by reinforcement and punishment.
- Biological: Examines the influence of genetics, brain structure, and physiological processes on behavior.
- Evolutionary: Investigates how adaptive traits are passed down through generations and their impact on survival.
- Biopsychosocial: Integrates biological, social, and psychological factors in understanding behavior.
- Humanistic: A perspective promoting personal growth and the achievement of one’s potential; focuses on self-actualization.
Parenting and Testing
- Authoritative parenting: Associated with fostering self-reliance and confidence among children in the U.S., balancing support and expectations.
- Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): A type of projective test used to assess personality and emotional functioning based on storytelling in response to ambiguous images.
Intelligence Theories
- Charles Spearman: Proposed a two-factor model of intelligence, consisting of general intelligence (g) and specific abilities.
Neurological Conditions
- Parkinson's disease: Characterized by lower levels of dopamine, leading to motor control issues and other cognitive effects.
Learning and Conditioning
- Extinction in classical conditioning: Occurs when the conditioned stimulus is presented repeatedly without the unconditioned stimulus, leading to a decrease in the conditioned response.
- Token economies: Use secondary reinforcers (tokens) to encourage desired behaviors, which can later be exchanged for primary reinforcers.
