Insight learning
Kohler.
Used caged chimpanzee.
Reflects an internal cognitive restructuring of the perceptual field and enhances the organism’s ability to achieve its goals
Bandura’s research found that
- Boys and girls imitate same gendered models
- Boys and girls equally imitated verbal aggression, but boys were more likely than girls imitate physical aggression
- Providing incentive for physical aggression reduced gender difference
Backwards conditioning
When the CS follows the US
Endoplasmic reticulum
Consists of channels that transport proteins to other locations in the cell
Mild Intellectual Disability
- May not be apparent until child is school age and has trouble with educational demands
- Generally acquire communication and social skills during preschool years
Selection Ratio
Number of openings per number of applicants
Types of forward conditioning
- Delay conditioning
- Trace conditioning
Law of Effect
Responses to stimuli that produce a satisfying or pleasant state of affairs are more likely to occur.
Conversely, responses that produce a discomforting, annoying, or unpleasant effect are less likely to occur again.
Otitis media
An infection of the middle ear that can lead to hearing loss
James-Lange Theory of Emotion
Emotions result from perception of bodily sensations of physiological changes
i.e. We feel sad because we cry, we do not cry because we are sad
Fechner’s law
The physical stimulus changes are logarithmically related to their psychological sensations
Who is responsible for organizational citizenship behavior
Organ
Examples of cholinesterase inhibitors
- Tacrine or Cognex
- Donepezil or Aricept
- Galantamine or Reminyl
- Rivastigmine or Exelon
Rivastigmine or Exelon
cholinesterase inhibitors
How to resolve ethical issues with colleagues
(1) First try informal resolution if appropriate
(2) Formal compliant if involves substantial harm or informal resolutions doesn’t work
(3) NEVER VIOLATE CONFIDENTIALITY
Prenatal etiologies for Intellectual Disability
- Genetic syndromes
- Inborn errors in metabolism
- Brain malformations
- Maternal disease
- Environmental influences such as alcohol intake or other teratogens
Negative Reinforcement
An increase in the frequency of a response by removing an aversive event immediately after the response is performed.
Two-Factor Theory of Emotion
Developed by Schachter and Singer
States that emotions are the result of physiological arousal and cognition
Emotional experiences are defined by the way in which individuals interpret or appraise their physiological arousal and bodily responses to an event.
Tacrine or Cognex
cholinesterase inhibitors
Delay conditioning
When the CS overlaps in time with the US
Validity Generalization
The extent to which a validity established in one setting with one sample can be generalized to another setting and sample
Conventional antipsychotics
Halo-zines
- Chlorpromazine or Thorazine
- Fluphenazine or Prolixin
- Tiothixene or Narvane
- Haloperidol or Haldol
Criterion-Related Validity Coefficient
Coefficient representing the usefulness of a predictor for predicting criterion outcomes
Compensatory Conditioned Response
When the CR is the opposite of the UR
Often develop to stimuli paired with unconditioned drug responses
What do high Criterion-Related Validity Coefficients mean?
High test scores tend to do better on performance measures
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
Mainly affects people over 60 years of age is It is caused by defective absorption of CSF, in which the excess CSF enlarges the ventricles but does not increase pressure on the brain. It may result from injury, illness or infection although many people develop normal pressure hydrocephalus without an obvious cause. It typically starts with difficulty walking. Urinary incontinence often develops, along with a type of dementia marked by slowness of thinking and information processing.
Donepezil or Aricept
cholinesterase inhibitors
