Study Notes
Classical Conditioning
- The instructor uses a red shirt on exam days to classically condition a student's fear of exams.
- Ivan Pavlov's dogs experiment showed that learning occurs when a conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Eyewitness Testimony
- Eyewitness testimony's reliability is affected by the power of suggestion.
Memory Processes
- Recall involves retrieving information, while rehearsal is the conscious repetition that moves info from short-term to long-term memory.
- Explicit memories are conscious, whereas implicit memories are automatic and unconscious.
Social Learning Theory
- Children may model aggressive behavior after seeing rewards for such actions.
- Albert Bandura emphasized learning through observation of others' behaviors.
Operant Conditioning
- Rewarding behaviors, such as finishing oatmeal, exemplifies operant conditioning.
- Behavior is motivated by consequences, which can be reinforcements or punishments.
Critical Experiments and Theories
- John B. Watson's Little Albert experiment demonstrated that emotions can be conditioned responses.
- The unethical aspect of Watson's experiment involved inducing fear in a child.
Encoding and Memory Stages
- Memory must pass through sensory, short-term, and long-term stages for proper storage.
- The levels of processing theory emphasizes deep connections for better memory retention.
Psychological Models and Theories
- Sigmund Freud explored the unconscious mind, proposing methods like dreams and free association.
- Carl Jung introduced concepts like archetypes and the collective unconscious.
Research Methodologies
- Longitudinal designs follow subjects over time to track development.
- Naturalistic observations provide insights by studying real-life settings without interference.
Correlation and Causation
- Correlation does not imply causation; confounding variables can mislead interpretations of relationships.
- A correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to +1, indicating the strength and direction of relationships.
Personality Psychology
- Five-factor model identifies dimensions: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extroversion.
- Research in social psychology examines prejudice, attraction, and interpersonal conflict resolution.
Psychological Assessments
- The MMPI is used for clinical profiling based on true/false responses.
- The Rorschach inkblot test assesses unconscious desires through interpretation of symmetrical images.
Developmental Stages
- Freud's psychosexual stages include oral, anal, latency, and genital phases, influencing personality.
- Strategies to cope with problems, if used rigidly, can lead to neurotic behaviors.
Miscellaneous Facts
- Behaviorism focuses on observable actions rather than unobservable mental processes.
- Confirmation bias occurs when individuals seek evidence that supports their existing beliefs.
