Chapter 1 & 3 Flashcards
Clinical interview
- Attention on how the questions are answered
- Empathy is essential
- Extent of the structure depends on the experience of the clinician
Structured interviews
- Collect standardized information
2. Asked in certain order depending on how questions are answered
General adaptation syndrome
Biological response to lots of stress 3 phases of response: 1. Alarm phase 2. Resistance phase 3. Exhaustion phase
Assessment of stress tests
- Life Events and Difficulty Schedule (semi-structured)
2. Self-report stress checklist
Personality tests
- MMPI-2
2. Big Five Inventory-2
Intelligence tests
- WAIS-4
- WISC-5
- WPPSI-4
- Stanford-Binet-5
Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)
Collection of data in real time and report on recently experienced thoughts, moods or stressors
Reactivity
Behavior changes because someone knows they are being observed
Cognitive-Style Questionnaires
Used to help plan targets for treatment as well as to determine whether clinical interventions are helping to change negative thought patterns
Brain imaging types
Structure: 1. CT 2. MRI 3. fMRI Function: 1. fMRI 2. PET 3. SPECT
Neurotransmitter assessment
- Post-mortem analysis
2. PET scans
3 types of connectivity
- Structural or anatomical: how structures are connected via white matter
- Functional connectivity: between brain regions based on correlations between their BOLD signal
- Effective connectivity: combines both types, shows BOLD and also direction and timing
Neuropsychological assessment tests
- Tactile performance test-Time: fitting blocks in to spaces of a form board
- Tactile performance test-Memory: draw the form board from memory
- Speech sound perception test: hear word and select what they heard from alternatives
Psychophysiological assessment
- Electrocardiogram: heart rate electrical charges
- Electrodermal responding: measures skin conductance
- EEG: brain activity with electrical activity
3 elements of diagnostics
- Theory development of problems/complaints and problematic behavior
- Operationalization and its subsequent measurement
- Application of relevant diagnostic methods
