34
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
Satisfaction vs. Dissatisfaction Hygiene - Dissatisfiers, job factors (pay, benefits, setting, relationships with coworkers) - absence = dissatisfied; presence not satisfied Motivator - satisfiers, job enrichment (responsiveness, growth, decision making, more responsibility) [satisfaction and productivity] and job enlargement (more/different work w/out responsibility) [satisfaction only] - presence = satisfaction; absence not dissatisfied
35
Work Schedules
Compressed work week (no change in productivity; physical work suffers; lower absenteeism; increased job satisfaction; women like it less) Flextime (higher satisfaction and attitude; lower absenteeism and tardiness; unclear effect on productivity) Shift work (rotating worse than night, lower productivity, higher accidents, more health problems, young adapt better)
36

Instrumental (Directive) - specific guidelines, clear rules and procedures 2. Supportive - supportive relationships 3. Participative - include worker in decision making 4. Achievement-Oriented - set challenging goals and encourage higher levels of performance Best style depends on situation

108
Process Consultation
target communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution
109
Gender and IO
less attractive women and more attractive men judged as more suitable women - interpersonal and task accomplishment styles; participatory decision making; men use autocratic or directive decision making rate female managers less favorably (esp. when using male styles) when they are majority, more favorable

112
Job Characteristics Model

129
Drug Admin Routes
1) Inhaling (smoking)—7-10 seconds: lungs→heart→brain 2) Intravenous injection (via needle into vein)—15-30 seconds: bloodstream→heart→lungs→heart→ rain 3) Intramuscular injection (via needle into muscle); subcutaneous injection (via needle under skin)—3-5 minutes: absorbed into bloodstream→heart→lungs→heart→ brain mucosal absorption: a) insufflation, snorting into nose ; b) buccal, placing next to gums; or c) sublingual, placing under tongue—3-5 minutes: absorbed through mucous membranes into bloodstream→heart→lungs→heart→brain 4) Mucosal absorption, rectal or vaginal—10-15 minutes 5) Ingesting, oral administration—20-30 minutes: stomach→small intestine→liver→heart→lungs→heart→brain 6) Transdermal, skin patch—1-2 days…slow sustained delivery of drug, rather than fast delivery of large amount
130
Medial Forebrain Bundle

normal visual perception and arm/hand movements | but impaired at visually- guided reaching to touch or grab
152
Rehearsal
Maintenance - simple repetition Elaborative - semantic processing, linking material to other material in memory (deeper analysis are better than shallow analyses) - better than mnemonics
153
Encoding Specificity Principle
retrieval is best when there is a match b/w presentation of info at encoding and retrieval basis for mood/state/context dependent memory
154
Forgetting
autobiographical memories - slower decay older will decay more slowly than newer ones of similar strength slower decay for implicit than explicit memory
155
Nonassociative Learning
Part of Implicit Memory Desensitization and Habituation
156
Preserved Cognition in Amnestic Disorders
1. Basic Attention (digit span) 2. Intelligence/Cognitive Ability 3. Implicit Memory
157
Associative Learning
part of Implicit Memory classical and operant conditioning amygdala and cerebellum
158
Perceptual/Repetition Priming
seen or heard the stimulus before
159
Conceptual/Semantic Priming
semantically similar priming Fork --- Spoon
160
Measures of Implicit Memory
demonstration of procedural tasks priming tasks - related to conditioning and discriminative variables
161
Perceptual-Functional Theory of Memory
Living things categorized by perception (temporal lobe) Non-living things categorized by function (frontal-parietal regions) more perceptual then functional descriptors brain damage leads to more difficulty with living objects
162
Coherence and Correspondence with autobiographical memory
coherence - consistent with current goals and beliefs correspondence - accuracy of memory coherence wins out over time
163
Levels of Language Processes
Phonological - sounds Morphological - word forms Syntactic - grammatical structure Semantic - meaning Perception, comprehension, production
164
Problems faced by Listeners
Rate - 10 phonemes/sec average (50-60 upper range) segmentation - trouble separating out or distinguishing words from the pattern of speech sounds Co-articulation - separating overlapping adjacent articulations degraded speech - environmental noise
165
Language Comprehension
Parsing - analysis of syntactical/grammatical structure semantics - literal meaning pragmatics - intended meaning
166
Anomia
word-finding problems
167
Agrammatism
speech production lacks grammatical structure and many function words and word endings are omitted
168
Jargon Aphasia
speech is reasonably correct grammatically but with great problems finding the right words to say, with many neologisms produced
