32
Q

3 stages of pre-op thinking for child illness

A
  1. Contagion is overgeneralised
  2. Contamination is undergeneralised
  3. Justice as causal mechanism
33
Q

Describe a study depicting overgeneralisation of contagion

A

Kister & Patterson (1980): Children had to decide whether to sit someone who was ill - cold, toothache, scraped knee.

34
Q

Describe a study depicting undergeneralisation of contamination

A

Rozin & Fallon (1987): Come and grasshopper with OJ

35
Q

Describe a study depicting justice as causal mechanism

A

Kister & Patterson (1980): Do you think he got a cold because he didn’t listen to mother?

36
Q

Contamination (Siegal & Share, 1990)

A

Third person; would drinking the OJ make John sick?

37
Q

Attachment

A

Strong tie we feel for individuals within our lives

38
Q

Proximity to attachment figures are associated with what?

A

Positive emotions

39
Q

Behavioural drive reduction

A

Caregiver satisfies a variety of biological primary drives

40
Q

Process of behavioural drive reduction

A

Mothers presence becomes a CS capable of drive reduction, through Pavlovian conditioning process

41
Q

How did Harry Harlow challenge behavioural drive reduction?

A

Surrogate mothers: monkey would move to blanket mother after feeding from cage mother

42
Q

Contact comfort

A

Infant monkey preferred cloth covered “mother” despite no feeding

43
Q

How many hours did baby monkey spend w “cloth mother”?

A

22 hours

44
Q

Sensitive period for human attachment (Bowlby)

A

6 months to 2 years

45
Q

Secure %?

A

60-65%

46
Q

Insecure-Avoidant %?

A

2-%

47
Q

Insecure-Resistant %?

A

10-15%

48
Q

Insecure-Disorganised

A

1%

49
Q

Attachment longitudinal study (Walters et al., 2000)

A

Links b/w early attachment style and those 20 years later

50
Q

Consequence of Secure Attachment

A

11 yo more confident, socially aware and smarter

51
Q

Visual paired-comparison task

A

Familiarisation and test phase, with time looking at each stimulus being the DV

52
Q

Familiarisation

A

Participant forms internal representation of target stimulus

53
Q

Habituation

A

Attention becomes declined to a predetermined criterion level

54
Q

High amplitude sucking

A

Operant conditioning procedure involving infants learning contingency b/w sucking and R+ (e.g. mums voice)

55
Q

Mobile conjugate R+

A

Study of memory development across infancy period, through baseline, learning and test phases.

56
Q

Baseline MCR+

A

How often baby kicks when foot isn’t attached to mobile

57
Q

Learning MCR_

A

Infants learn that kicking causes mobile to move (R+)

58
Q

Test MCR+

A

Ribbon detached from mobile. If they kick more than baseline, they have learnt.

59
Q

Deferred imitation puppet task

A
  1. Remove mitten
  2. Shake it
  3. Replace mitten
60
Q

What was the findings of puppet task?

A

6mo exhibit deferred imitation, though they require twice the amount of exposure to the modeled actions.

61
Q

What develops in memory development?

A

Encoding, retention, retrieval

62
Q

Describe how the MCR+ task works

A

Baby has learnt if they kick more in last min of NR compared to beginning.

63
Q

How do we know how much baby has retained in MCR+?

A

Rate at which they kick in Session 3

64
Q

Baseline ratio

A

1min NR of:

immediate / baseline

65
Q

Retention ratio

A

1min NR of:

long term retention / immediate

66
Q

Baseline ratio > 1

A

Infant has learnt the contingency

67
Q

Baseline ratio = 1

A

Infant has not learnt the contingency

68
Q

Retention ratio = 1

Perfect retention, no forgetting

69
Q

Retention ratio

A

Some forgetting

70
Q

A

0.4

76
Q
