| An example of Integrated Regulation is... | Sense of self |
| What is the study of motivation? | Focusing on the processes that give behavior its energy and direction |
| Intrinsic motivation is made up of what three things? | Needs, cognition, and emotions |
| What are the three kinds of needs that contribute to intrinsic motivation? | Psychological, social, and physiological |
| Motivation is measured by... | Behavior, latency, and effor |
| Effort is defined as... | the exertion put forth while trying to accomplish a task |
| Latency is defined as... | Delay of response following an inital exposure to a stimulus event |
| What is Hull's Drive theory? | Drive is a pooled energy source, composed of all current bodily deficits/needs |
| Frontal lobe manages... | Decision making and planning |
| Occipital lobe manages... | Decoding visual signals |
| Temporal lobe manages... | Emotions and language processing |
| Parietal lobe manages... | Interpreting the sense of touch |
| The pons manages... | Attention, heart rate, involuntary functions |
| The pons is made up of which three divisons? | The hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain |
| What is the hindbrain? | Heartrate and respiration (pons medula) |
| What is the midbrain? | Bonds with others, food and water, circadium rythem (hypothalamus, amygdala, thalamus, hippocampus) |
| What is the forebrain? | High order functioning and decision making |
| What are the three principles? | 1. An event occurs 2. Biochemical agents stimulate specific brain structures 3. Specific brain structures generate specific motivations |
| What is a neurotransmitter? | A fast acting but fast fading signal found in synapses Ex. Moving your arm |
| What is a neurohormone? | A slow acting but slow fading signal found in the bloodstream Ex. Estrogen or testosterone/ growing pubes |
| Autonomic NS manages... | Automatic movement |
| Somatic NS manages... | Voluntary movement |
| Sympathetic NS manages... | Fight or flight |
| Parasympathetic NS manages... | Relief/Relaxation |
| The central nervous system is made up of... | Brain and spinal cord |
| The peripheral nervous system is made up of... | The autonomic and somatic nervous system |
| The autonomic nervous system is made up of... | The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system |
| What does dopamine do? | It is released when the brain detects a "biologically significant" event; releasing good feelings and goal-directed behavior. Motivation is transformed into action. |
| What are the three hormones? | Cortisol (stress), testosterone (motivation and sex drive), and oxytocin (bonding) |
| What are the three psychological needs? | Autonomy (free will), competence (knowledge and skill), and relatedness (deep bonds) |

| What are implicit theories? | The assumptions we make about peoples' intellegence and ability |
| What are the two kinds of implicit theories? | Entity (fixed mindset) and incrementalism (growth mindset) |
| What is the difference between social needs and psychological needs? | Social needs are a learned need that demostrates competence, whilst psychological needs are innate |
| What is self-esteem? | your confidence level in yourself and your capability |
| What is self-efficacy? | The generative capacity in which the performer improvises how to translate personal abilities into effective performance. It is knowledge of yourself, and learning that you can learn |
| What increases self-efficacy? | It can be increased by believing that one's behavior has a direct influence towards an outcome, and that uncontrollable influences do not have direct influence on the outcome. |
| What is learned helplessness? | The opposite of self-efficacy. It is the learned expectation that one's voluntary behavior won't effect their desired outcomes |
| What does verbal persuasion do? | Works to provide a temporary and provisional efficacy boost to generate the motivation necessary to do something. The difference from it and a compliment, is it fails if the statements aren't true |
| What is the difference between depressed vs nondepressed peoples' idea of their control? | Bewteen high and low level of control situations, both accuratley judged how much control they have. However in a situation when in a no-control situation, nondepressed people overestimate their percieved control, while depressed people do not. |
| Why do nondepressed people overestimate their percieved control in a situation where they have no control? | Depressed people are less likely to develop learned helplessness, and have a equal balance of memories for both positive and negative events in their lives. Nondepressed peoples' memories are biased for recalling more positive events. |
| What is reactance theory? | As long as someone perceives that coping behavior can effect the outcome, reactance behaviors persist. If someone perceives a loss of behavioral freedom, they slip into helplessness |
