- Evaluation is information accurate or valid

Freud’s structural model
According to Sigmund Freud, the human psyche consists of three components: the id, ego, and superego. The id represents our primitive, instinctual drives, including our desire for food, sex, and pleasure. The ego represents our rational, conscious self that mediates between the id and theexternalworld.
ID
- Instinctive and Primitive
- Entirely unconcious
- Demands immediate Satisfaction
- Unconciously tries to satisfy sexual drives
*
EGO
- Rationality
- Ensures that ID’s wants are aceptable in the real world
- Mostly located in the concious part
- Moderator between ID and SuperEgo
- Logical aspect of personality
SuperEgo
- Sense of right and wrong
- Both concious and unconcious
- Concious prevents us from doing morally bad things
- Ego ideal motivates us to do what is morally right
Goals of Psychology
- Describe behavior
- Explain behavior
- Predict Behavior
- Control Behavior
Rosenhan Experiment (1973)
- 7 volunteers sent across different mental hospitals in USA. They said they heard voices (They didnt really) but all 7 were diagnosed as Scizophrenic or Bipolar.
- After diagnosis they showed they were normal (feeling better) and noone believed them.
- They all took notes on what was happening but the staff didn’t care.
- Real Patients could tell but they weren’t listened to.
- Were there for 19 days.
- Book called “ Being sane in insane places”
- Hospitals tried to get him to send in more fakes and he said he did but he tricked them and they messed up on 40 diagnosis.
DSM

Educational Psychology
Study of how people learn.
What is learning? 3 concepts. (Watkins 2009)
- What is being taught.
- Individual sense-making
- Building knowledge with others
3 main approaches towards learning
- הגישה ההתנהגותית (Behavioral)
- הגישה הכרנית (Cognitive)
- הגישה החברתית (Social)
הגישה ההתנהגותית (Behavioral)
Stimulus-> result
Behavior is influenced by environment
A person acts in a way to avoid pain and wants to be appreciated.
* Behavior is learned and not necessarily born that way.
1. * respondant conditioning
2. Contiguity learning
3. Operant conditioning
4. Reinforcement
התניה קלאסית

A type of learning in which one learns to link 2 or more stimuli and anticipate events. (Pavlov’s experiment with Bell and dog)
Watson’s experiment with little Albert- caused fear of furry things.
Operant conditioning
