- Memory depends on three basic processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval.
- Hypnotized people are able to walk around and respond to objects and events in the real world.
- Thorndike's law of effect states that behaviors followed by a reward or reinforcement are more likely in the future; behaviors followed by punishment are less likely.
- Ivan Pavlov won a Nobel Prize in 1904 for research on the digestive processes of dogs.
