Deck 3 Flashcards
DSM-5 dx of probable major or mild neurocognitive disorder with Lewy Bodies:
Visual hallucinations (core feature)
Concurrent REM sleep behavior disorder (suggested feature)
Regarding the self-stereotyping hypothesis, O’Brien & Hummers found:
Internalized stereotypes about aging can impair performance on memory tasks
Ppl who identified as old did more poorly on a memory task when they were told their performance would be compared to that if older adults
The _____________ pathway of the brain are responsible for the reinforcing effects of drugs that increase dopamine
Mesolimbic dopaminergic (pathway)
Conduction aphasia involves:
Fluent (but paraphrasing) speech, relatively intact comprehension, poor word repetition, and impaired naming
Baddely describes working memory as consisting of:
A central executive and three subsystems:
- Phonological loop
- Visio-spatial sketchpad
- Episodic buffer
Major or Mild neurocognitive disorder due to Prion Disease
Transmissible agents known as prions, can cause:
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- Kuru
- Gerstmann-Staussler-Schneiker syndrome
- Fatal insomnia
Regarding altruistic motivation for helping victims of a tragedy, Piferi, Jobe, And Jones found
That helping to improve victim’s well-being was more predictive than egoistic motivation for predicting future giving
Sensorimotor period (Piaget) substages (6)
- Basic reflexes
- Primary circular reactions
- Secondary circular reactions
- Coordination of secondary circular reactions
- Tertiary circular reactions
- Invention of new means through mental combinations
Test sensitivity is the proportion:
Of people with a disorder who are identified by a test as having the disorder.
Divide the true positives identified by the test by the true positives plus the false negatives
TP/(TP+ FN)

Helms’s model of white racial identity development
- Contact
- Disintegration
- Reintegration
- Pseudo-independence
- Immersion
- Autonomy
Development of Myers Briggs type indicator was based on:
Jung’s theory of psychological types
Schizophrenia positive and negative sx due to:
Positive sx due to dopamine hyperactivity in subcortical regions of the brain
Negative due to dopamine hypoacivity in cortical regions (esp prefrontal cortex)
_____ processing is data-driven
Bottom up
- in terms of perception, bottom up processing begins with incoming sensory info and continues upward to the brain where it is perceived, interpreted, and stored.
- Top-down processing begins with the brains use of preexisting knowledge and expectations to interpret incoming sensory info
Two theoretical models that have influenced family therapists
General systems theory (system that seeks to obtain homeostasis)
Cybernetics (circular nature of feedback loops- negative maintains status quo; positive increases change)
Marital schism and marital skew
Marital Schism: involves severe, chronic discord and disequilibrium where threats of separation are common and recurrent
Marital skew: relationship is not threatened by separation but skewed toward meeting the needs of one member at the expense of the needs of others
Minuchin: Structural Family Therapy: Family is viewed as:
Single, interrelated system assessed along variety of dimensions:
- Hierarchy of power
- Clarity and firmness of boundaries
- Significant alliances and splits
- 3 chronic boundary problems
1. Triangulation (each parent demands child sides with him/her)
2. Detouring (parent express distress through child)
3. Stable coalition (one parent unites with a child)
Structural family therapy is highly effective in tx of childhood and adolescent problems such as: asthma, diabetes, anorexia, and tx of adults with drug addictions
Communications family therapy involves
- Double bind: maladaptive communication that typically involves at least three elements
1. An injunction telling the person that if they do or don’t do something they will be punished
2. A secondary injunction which is generally nonverbal, conflicting with the first at a more abstract level, also enforced by punishment
3. A teriary injunction prohibiting the victim from escaping the field (by not allowing her victim to point out the consistency)
**formulated double bind theory of schizophrenia, which saw double binds as contributing to the etiology of the schizophrenia
- uses “prescribing the symptom”
Haley: strategic family therapy
Combo of minuchin structural approach (with focus on hierarchies) and the communications approach (with focus on family communication and interactions)
Milan Group: systemic Family Therapy
Involves general systems theory and cybernetics, as well as components of strategic theory
- Circular questioning
- Prescription of rituals
