Phsycological Flashcards
Observational learning
Social learning theory
Bandura
Learning from significant others
Attention-retention -motor production-motivation
What is vygotskys theory
Constructivism- social development theory
Setting tartlets - alone, with help,not yet
Building up learning in stages
What is insight theory
Gestaltist - problem solving
Using experience and understanding
Tell me ,I’ll forget….
Operant conditioning
Mice experiment
S-r bond can be affected by -
Based on trial and error
Shapes behaviours
Manipulates environment
Through positive and negative reinforcement
Where does selective attention occur
Perceptual mechanism
What happens at the translatory mechanism
Decision making occurs based on past experience
In the working memory what does the episodic buffer do
Coordinates sight hearing and movement info from working memory
Linkups it into sequences to form the long term memory
Features of short term sensory store
All info held for a short time (0.25-1)
Huge capacity with separate stores
Perceptual mechanism - determines what is put into the short term memory
Features of short term memory
Incoming info
Is compared to that previously learnt
There is a limited capacity - in terms of quantity
Feature of long term memory
Capacity in infinite
Well practised and learnt info is held here
Recognised and compared to new
Strats to improve LTM
Mental practice
Association
Focus
Chunking
Repetition
2 features of scheme
Recall - happened before action
Recognition - happened after action
What is recall schema
It is what happens before the action
Initial conditions - the info from the environment
Response specification - what you need to do
What is recognition schema
What happens after the skill
Sensory consequence - about the feel of the movement
Response outcome - feedback about results
In personality what is trait theory
B=f(p)
Traits are stable,
The consistent behaviours
They are inherited
What is the interactionalist approach
Trait and social learning
B=f(pxe)
Physcological core - doesn’t change
The typical response
Role related behaviour - unexpected
What are the 3 components of attitude
Affective - feelings and emotions
Behavioural - actions and habits
Cognative - beliefs and what you think
How can you change an attitude
Cognative dissonance
Persuasive communication
What is cognative dissonance
