    Study Notes

    Behavior and Reinforcement

    • Reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring.
    • Punishment, in contrast, aims to decrease behavior frequency.
    • Insight involves understanding, not necessarily linked to behavior modification.

    Schedules of Reinforcement

    • Fixed Ratio Schedule: Rewards given after a set number of responses, e.g., coach rewarding a player after every third wicket.
    • Fixed Interval Schedule: Reinforcement occurs after a predetermined time, demonstrated by an employee receiving rewards every 45 minutes.

    Types of Memory

    • Echoic Memory: A type of sensory memory specifically for auditory information received through the ears.

    Defense Mechanisms

    • Sublimation: A mature defense mechanism where unacceptable impulses are transformed into socially acceptable actions, such as kickboxing for managing anger.

    Eye Anatomy

    • Iris: The muscle band behind the cornea that gives the eye its color and controls pupil size.

    Psychosexual Development

    • Oedipus Complex: Observed during the Phallic stage of Freud's psychosexual development.
    • Correct developmental order of Freud's stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency.

    Motivation Types

    • Intrinsic Motivation: Internal satisfaction driving behavior, contrasted with external motivations like money or power.

    Nature vs. Nurture

    • The question of whether alcoholism is influenced more by genetics or environment highlights the nature-nurture issue.

    Sympathetic Nervous System

    • Actions not part of the sympathetic nervous system include increased digestion, which is characteristic of the parasympathetic system.
