Full Length #5 Flashcards
short term memory
lasting a few seconds to a few minutes
sensory memory
last at most a second
important in the filtering and prioritization of all sensory input
working memory
holds all the info that a person is actively using at a certain time
when you are trying to achieve a task, what kind of memory is at work?
sensory
short-term
long term memory
Cannon-Bard theory of emotion
the sensing of and response to emotions occurred simultaneously and separately in different parts of the brain
James-Lange theory
sensory data induced a physiological response leading to an emotional state ‘
accuracy
closeness of a given measurement to the true value of that measurement
ways to improve accuracy:
increase the number of saliva samples
impression
doing things to manage other people’s perceptions of them
foraging behavior
how people collect food
inclusive fitness
theory related to evolution and a species’s survival
groupthink
when an individual conforms to the ideals of a larger group
cognitive appraisal theory
process by which an individual emotionally reacts after evaluating a given situation
absolute poverty
which lack of income prevents access to the basic necessities of life such as good water, shelter, and warmth
relative poverty
typically measured as a lack of income relative to the average income
drive reduction theory
internal drives motivate people so that they attempt to reduce/eliminate the driving factor
incentive theory
motivated to action by external goals
cognitive dissonance
performing actions that are incongruent with one’s beliefs lead to an attempt by individuals to modify their beliefs such that they become more consistent with the performed actions
what side of the brain does language happen?
left side of the brain
where is memory localized in the brain?
bilaterally
internal locus of control
the idea of how much perceived control an individual has over his life
ex: if someone thinks bad things always happen to them, they will have poor locus of control
inclusive fitness
determine by not only the number of offspring an organism has, but its ability to protect and raise its offspring to the point where they become productive members of the organisms’ social structure
altruistic behavior
engage in behavior that hurts itself, if it helps the viability of the genetic material preserved in the offspring
relationship between altruistic behavior and inclusive fitness
inclusive fitness is used to explain altruistic behavior
fundamental attribution error
attributing a participant’s behavior to an internal factor (emotional state/anger issues) instead of considering external factors (they were having a bad day, the PDA broke 15 times before, etc.) which may be influencing his response
schziophrenia
typically though of as an excess of dopamine levels particularly in the frontal lobes
dramaturgical approach
considers individuals as actors on a drama stage
-individuals’ performances are affected by time, place, circumstance, race, and by the actors themselves
somatoform disorder
pain without any discernable physical source
assimilation example
a man was born in england and grew up eating meat pies and drinking Earl Grey tea all of his life. After moving to Georgia, he began losing his British accent and acquired a taste for fried foods and southern sweet tea
social constructionsim
how groups of people come to ascribe meaning or value to objects or concepts
ex: assessing the importance of a new technology to a group of people
psychoanalytic theory
personality is shaped by a person’s unconscious thoughts, feelings and past memories
humanistic theory
focuses on the conscious
and says people are inherently good focuses on healthy personality development and humans are seen as inherently good
biological theory
important components of personality are inherited or determine in part by our genes
behaviorist theory
personality is the result of learned behavior patterns based on a person’s environment
Broca’s Aphasia
inability to produce speech
Wernicke’s aphasia
condition in which speech comprehension is compromised
conduction aphasia
inability to repeat what they hear
anomic aphasia
inability of a person to produce the correct words for a topic about which they’d like to speak
conduction
heat transfer by direct contact
requires things to touch
convection
heat transfer by flowing current
need the physical flow of matter
radiation
heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation
does not need the physical flow of matter, can occur through a vaccum
what does pKa measure?
how much a molecule wants to hold on to its protons
a pKa value for a weak acid like carbonic acid is always positive
if the pKa is getting smaller, what does that mean for your Ka
gets larger, which indicates that there is more dissociation at higher temperature
delta H
enthalphy
if delta H is positive, then it is endothermic and reaction must require heat
micelles
assit in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them so they can be absorbed from the small intestine
what is so important of micelles is that they
have a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic exterior to assist the absorption of fat
covlanet bond
formed b/w atoms that have similar electronegativities
non polar covalent bond
formed between same atoms or atoms with very similar electronegativities
-different in electronegativity b/w bonded atoms is less than .5
polar covalent bond
formed when atoms of slightly different electronegativities share electrons
-difference is between 0.5-1.9
ex: HCl, H2O, HF
meatllic bond
occurs between atoms of metals, in which the valence electrons are free to move through the lattic
the intramolecular forces from strongest to weakest
metallic
ionic
polar covalent
nonpolar covalent
which are stronger: intramolecular forces or intermolecular forces?
intramolecular forces
-intermolecular forces are important because they determine the physical properties of molecules
dipole-dipole interactions
forces occur when the partially positively charge part of a molecule interacts with the partially negatively charged part of the neighboring molecule
ex: HCl
what is the strongest intermolecular force of attraction?
dipole-dipole interactions
hydrogen bonding
hydrogen atom bonded to either an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom
London dispersion forces
exist between all types of molecules
the more electrons a molecule has, the stronger the London dispersion forces are
-breaking of london dispersion forces doesn’t require that much energy
what is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy
energy is proportional to frequency
frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength
energy is inversely proportional to wavelength
what is the energy of long wavelength photons
long wavelength, low energy
