Atkinson and Shiffrin

A

1968

Cog processes - models of memory - MSM ->

SM: info lasts <1 second no attention to info leads to displacement and decay, attention transfers to STM
STM: stores 5-9 pieces of info which last for around 30 seconds. Can be maintained with maintenance rehearsal, can move into LTM after enough rehearsal,
LTM: unlimited storage, unlimited duration - doesn’t explain how displacement, decay, or interference works.

35
Q

Sherif

A

1954-1961

Group dynamics - origins of conflict and conflict resolution ->

RCT - Conflict is caused as two groups compete over limited resources, conflict is resolved through cooperation

36
Q

Rogers and Kesner

A

2003

The brain and behaviour - neurotransmitters and their effect on behaviour - Role of Ach in memory AND Localisation ->

Rats given either physostigmine, saline, or scopolamine. Rats go through a maze and tested to see how many wrong turns they take over time. Scopolamine - encoded worse, consolidated worse
Physostigmine - encoded better, consolidated better

37
Q

Gais and Born

A

2004

The brain and behaviour - neurotransmitters and their effect on behaviour - Role of Ach in memory ->

Consolidation of word list during sleep - physostigmine is an agonist for Ach which blocks consolidation. Giving ppts physostigmine then sleep causes consolidation to worsen.
Focuses on consolidation–

38
Q

Intergroup contact hypothesis - people need: equal status, common goals, cooperation, and support from authority

39
Q

Pettigrew

A

1998

Group dynamics - origins of conflict and conflict resolution ->

Criticises Allport’s intergroup contact hypothesis: has the generalisation of effects problem, Independent variable specification problem, and the Unspecified processes of change problem

Proposes the intergroup conflict theory - Decategorisation, Salient categorisation, Recategorisation:

40
Q

Rosenzweig, Bennet and Diamond

A

1972

The brain and behaviour - neurotransmitters and their effect on behaviour - Role of Ach in memory AND Neuroplasticity - structural changes in the brain in response to the environment->

Rat party, rats who are isolated have smaller brains than those who are with other rats, more Ach present in “party” condition.

41
Q

Ince

A

2014

Cultural influences on individual attitudes, identity and behaviours - acculturation ->

Berry’s acculturation - acculturation strategy and its effect on depression.
Acculturation was significantly associated with depression.
Ppts with depression were mostly separated (one of Berry’s strategies) while integration (another strategy) had the lowest number of depressed ppts.
Younger, well-educated, employed immigrants with a romantic partner were most likely to be integrated into Dutch society.
Non-participatory acculturation strategies (separation and marginalisation) showed higher prevalence for depression.

42
Q

Nap

A

2015

Cultural influences on individual attitudes, identity and behaviours - acculturation ->

Berry’s acculturation - acculturation strategy and its effect on depression.
Surinamese immigrants (those from a former Dutch colony) had most relevant skills (e.g. competence in language; understanding how Dutch society worked and how to access what they needed) and maintained fewest traditions compared with other immigrants, while reporting most social integration and least sense of loss of their former culture.
Turkish immigrants had the fewest relevant skills and highest preservation of traditions, while reporting least social integration and the greatest sense of loss.
Depression was separately but significantly (p<0.0025) associated with lack of skills, poor social integration and a sense of loss of heritage culture.
Turkish > Moroccan > Surinamese for diagnoses of depression.
Level of participation in Dutch society was significantly (negatively) associated with symptom level (p<0.01) and (positively) with quality of life (p<0.001) six months after treatment began.

(TL;DR better acculturation strategy -> lower risk of depression)

43
Q

Caspi

A

2003

Genes and behaviour - alleles relating to serotonin transportation (reuptake) ->

Depression - S allele of 5-HTT gene increases the risk of depression, trauma in early childhood also causes increased risk of depression.

44
Q

Kobiella

A

2011

Genes and behaviour - alleles relating to serotonin transportation (reuptake) ->

ask sir tbh

45
Q

Kendler

A

2006

Genetic similarity - twin study of depression ->

Depression - If twins are identical twins they are more likely to both suffer from depression than dizygotic twins

46
Q

Beck

A

1967

Genes and behaviour - alleles relating to serotonin transportation (reuptake) ->

Theory based on trends in cognitive distortion between patients with depression (Beck was a therapist). Once these distortions were treated in therapy, depression would be also treated. Proposed a cognitive triad of depression (they area ll linked and affect one another): negative thoughts about themselves, negative thoughts about the future, negative views about the world. Proposed cognitive vulnerability and reactivity. People who had early trauma had an increased likelihood of depression but not all people react this way- there must be a biological factor.

47
Q

Henkel

A

2014

Cog processing in the digital world ->

Pictures - taking general pictures leads to a worse memory of specific things of that object than a zoomed-in picture - however, the recall of the location of that object in its museum was improved.

48
Q

Falconer

A

2016

Cog processing in the digital world ->

VR task - those who did a VR task for compassion to children and then received compassion towards them as a child. Self compassion increased and self criticism decreased. Depression scores also improved.

49
Q

Mueller and Oppenheimer

A

2014

Cog processing in digital world ->

Laptops - conceptual tasks and reviewing notes were performed better by longhand writers. Laptop note-takers produced significantly more notes with significantly more verbatim content than longhand note-takers.

Proposed the encoding hypothesis (processing during note-taking improves learning and retention) and the external-storage hypothesis (having material to review is beneficial).

50
Q

Bandura

A

SCT theory

The individual and the group - social cognitive theory - observational learning and the cognitions that mediate between seeing and imitating others’ behaviour ->

Triadic reciprocal determinism (three different things that all affect each other): individual - environment - behaviour.

Proposes that some behaviours are modelled by other members of a group and acquired through observation or imitation. There are four aspects of behaviour acquisition that are important:
Attention
Retention
Reproducibility
Motivation
51
Q

Bandura, Ross, and Ross

A

1961

The individual and the group - social cognitive theory - observational learning and the cognitions that mediate between seeing and imitating others’ behaviour ->

Kids copy adults’ behaviours - when given an adult model behaving aggressively to a bobo doll, children are more likely to imitate those behaviours and be more aggressive in general

52
Q

Rasch, Gais and Born

A

2006

The brain and behaviour - neurotransmitters and their effect on behaviour - Role of Ach in memory ->

Gave scopolamine (ACh antagonist) to ppts and found that encoding for declarative memory (facts and events) during the day was decreased, but long-term memory and procedural memory was not affected: ACh has a role in encoding declarative memory

Focuses on encoding

53
Q

Berry

A

Model

High maintenance of heritage culture with high cultural adaptation -> Integration
High maintenance of heritage culture with low cultural adaptation -> Separation
Low maintenance of heritage culture with high cultural adaptation -> Assimilation
Low maintenance of heritage culture with low cultural adaptation -> Marginalisation

54
Q

Baddeley and Hitch

A

WMM

Cognitive processes - models of memory - WMM ->

Contains 4 parts -> VSS, PL, CE, EB

Central executive -> attentional control system
Visuospatial sketchpad -> visual and spatial info
Phonological loop -> articulatory control system (verbal rehearsal system) and phonological store (speech-based)
Episodic buffer -> communicates with both long-term memory and the components of working memory

55
Q

Tajfel & Turner

A

1979

The individual and the group - SIT - In-group and out-group behaviours AND The individual and the group - stereotypes AND Group dynamic - Co-operation and competition/Prejudice & discrimination/ Origins of conflict and conflict resolution ->

Three processes in SIT -> Social categorisation -> Social identification -> Social comparison

Key parts of SIT:
Self-esteem: we want to feel good about ourselves. Therefore, we will try to belong to groups that make us feel better about ourselves,
Positive distinctiveness/in-group favouritism: we want our social groups to come out on top of any other groups that we compare ours to. We want to be different and better.
Out-group homogeneity: it’s easier to engage in social identity processes if we assume that all members of any given out-group are very similar to each other.

56
Q

Doucet

A

2009

Pheromones and behaviour - Babies’ response to areolar secretions ->

The babies responded more quickly and more strongly to the areolar gland secretion (AG odour) than to any other substance. They continued with the behavioural responses longer for AG odour than for any substance other than sebum or cow’s milk.

57
Q

Butenandt

A

1959

Pheromones and behaviour - effect on attraction ->

Pheromone for attracting silk moths - Bombykol

58
Q

Kirk-smith & Booth

A

1980

Pheromones and behaviour - effect on attraction ->

Draganski

A

2004

The brain and behaviour: techniques used to study the brain in relation to behaviour - studies that have used brain-imaging technologies: fMRI AND Localization - Studies that tie specific functions or behaviours to specific parts of the brain AND Neuroplasticity - Structural changes in the brain in response to the environment ->

Ppts learned to juggle for 3 months. juggler group demonstrated a significant transient bilateral expansion in grey matter in the mid-temporal area and in the left posterior intraparietal sulcus between the first and the second scans. This expansion decreased in the third scan.

Neural pruning -> neurons used less become weaker and smaller as they are not needed as much as others
Neural strengthening -> neurones used more becomes stronger and bigger as they are needed more so their connections are quicker and more efficient.

2001

The brain and behaviour: techniques used to study the brain in relation to behaviour - studies that have used brain-imaging technologies: MRI AND Localization - Studies that tie specific functions or behaviours to specific parts of the brain AND Neuroplasticity - Structural changes in the brain in response to the environment ->

MRI scan used to detect differences between brains of taxi drivers and normal people. The taxi drivers’ (TDs’) anterior hippocampi on both sides were significantly smaller than the controls’ (there was a negative correlation between time as a taxi driver and the size of the anterior hippocampi), while the TDs’ posterior hippocampi were significantly larger. Posterior hippocampi linked with spatial memory. There was a significant positive correlation between time as a taxi driver and the size of the right posterior hippocampus.

61
Q

Altman and Taylor

A

1973

Personal relationships -> role of communication ->

Social penetrative theory: 5 stages of relationships: Orientation stage - clichés and superficial detail
Exploratory affective stage – casual friendship
Affective stage – physical intimacy, arguments
Stable stage – deep sharing, predictions of other’s emotional responses
Depenetration stage - relationship breaks down
