cognitive processing and SIT and SCT

Question 1

what factor influences our decision-making behavior?

Answer 1

We often don’t have enough past experience or knowledge to make a well-informed decision.

B. We often are not motivated to change past behaviors.

C. Decision-making takes too much cognitive energy, so we make the easiest choices.

Question 2

bottom up processing

Answer 2

sensory info, comes from interactions com enviroment

Question 3

top down pocessing

Answer 3

pre-stored info in memory

Question 4

we have cognitve

Answer 4

misers since we get so much info each day, this helps us deal with it (dont know, dont care)

Question 5

script

Answer 5

pattern of behavior which is learned through enviroment and developed within culture contex (not universal)

Question 6

sereal reproduction

Answer 6

A reads, tells to B
B tells to C

and so on

Question 7

repeated reproduction

Answer 7

tell to A,

asks A to repeat over various occasion

Question 8

memory processing stages

Answer 8

1. encoding- transforming sensory into to memory
2. storage- creating biological trace of encoded info in memory, then either consolidated or lost
3. retrieval- using stored info for thinking, problem solving ajnd decision making

Question 9

teacup for schema thory

Answer 9

T- yes it is testable

E- yes and there is biological evidente also to support our bgrains sorting/classifying info

a- has been applied to help us understand how memory works and memory distortion and applied to abnormal psych (depression e anxiety threpy), releatio ship and health psychologu. it has many applications

C- schema cant be observed, and could be too vague and hypothetical so not useful

U- is applied accross cultures, no apparent biased but research started in west

P- predicts behavipur (what words remembered, trends) but cant be 100% accurate.

Question 10

a lot of behaviur is determined by

Answer 10

social comparison

Question 11

behaviour can be B

Answer 11

bidirectional

group affects individual, individual affects group

Question 12

because humans are social animals, it is thought they have

Answer 12

a social and group self, and this will depend on location and people (SIT)

Question 13

SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY

Answer 13

predicts people have many versions of themselves

through:

SOcial ctorgrisation- similar characteristics, in/out groups

social comparison

tendency of people to use group memberhship for self esteem

Question 14

SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY ASSUMES

Answer 14

HUMANS LEARN THROUGH IBSERVATIOAL BEHAVUIOUR

Question 15

parts in SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY

Answer 15

Attention- paying attention to model (attractivness and authority matter)

Retention- remember behaviour observed

Motivation- outcome expectancy (what happens if behaviour is replicated, vicarious reinforcement

potential- physicaly/mentally being able to replicate behaviour

Question 16

it is easier to replicte behaviour if

Answer 16

model always acts the same

if we identify with the model (they are like us)

and liking the model

Question 17

social identity theory teacup

Answer 17

T- can be twested under lab conditons, but not under natural conditins, low eco

e- yes and mirror neurons give biological support

A- has high huristic validity (can explain lot of behaviour)

C- there are several constructs which are hard to measure (socal identty, self-esteem)

U- authough it staeted off andocentric, it is inclusive now

P- we all have many social identies, this theory doesnt predict which identity will determine behaviour- HIGHER EXPLANATORY POWRR THAN PREDICTIVE POWER
