| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What mneumonic device did he use to remember pie? | Chunking |
| Proactive vs Retroactive | In the sensory memory specially called interference -proactive: old info blocks or disrupts the learning/ retrieval of new info -retroactive: new info blocks or disrupts retrieval of old info |
| What's positive punishment | positive punishment: presenting an unpleasant stimulus to decrease the chances that behavior will reoccur (spanking, electric shock, etc.) |
| True or false: procedural memory is also called non-declarative memory | True |
| What area of the brain controls all things emotion? | amygdala |
| IPT 3 components IPT= information processing theory | 1) encoding: processing of info. into the memory system 2) storing: retention of encoded info. over time 3) retrieving: process of getting info out of memory storage |

| 4 Terms related to conditioning | -Generalization: the tendency of a stimulus similar to a CS to elicit a response similar to the CR -Discrimination: ability to distinguish between a CS and a NS -extinction: when a CS is repeatedly presented without the US, it will cease to elicit the |
| 4 terms cont. | -spontaneous recovery: when a CR reappears after being extinguished, even without further conditioning |

| classical conditioning 3 steps (step 2) | step two: establish classical conditioning -repeatedly, present NS (tone)... brief pause... present US (food)... observe UR (salivation) |
| what's Instincts? | Innate tendencies or biological forces that determine behavior |
| Maintance Rehearsal | Intentionally repeating or rehearsing info so it stays in the STM longer |
| What's the difference deep vs shallow processing | - Deep processing: encoding semantically based on meaning -surface processing: encoding based on structure or appearance |
| what 2 brain structures play a huge role to procedural/non-declarative memory | -the cerebellum -Basal Ganglia |
| Who hasn't done any work on EI? | |
| Serial positioning effects | 1) primacy effect- recalling the first items in a list 2) recency effect- recalling the last items in a list (middle content gets fuzzy) |
| who came up with the two-factor theory? | Schachter and Singer |
| Affective Neuroscience | studies the underlying neural systems that evaluate stimuli and contribute to experiencing and expressing emotions |
| What is mirror neurons? | mirror neurons- a specialized set of neurons that become active both during motor action and during the observation of another's action |
| Sigmund Freud says this self-defense mechanism hides things from the conscious mind | Repression |

| 4 subcomponents for EQ | 1) understanding/awareness of your own emotions 2) emotion regulation (typically neg emotions) 3)understanding/awareness of others' emotions 4) response to their emotions |

| Types of reinforcers | -Positive reinforcement: strengthen behavior through positive reinforcer (treats, praise, money) -negative reinforcement: increasing behavior by stopping/reducing negative stimuli (aspirin for headache) |
| Types of reinforcers cont. | -primary reinforcers: stimuli that are innately satisfying and required (food, water, sleep, sex) -secondary reinforcers: stimuli that has acquired reinforcement power (good grades, material things) |
| What did Abraham Maslow develop | Maslow's hierarchy of needs: level one: physiological needs level two: safety needs level three: love and belonging level four: esteem needs level five: self-actualization (Og pinnacle) level six: self-transcendence |

| E.L. Thorndike developed the law of effect, what is it | Law of effect: behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely while behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely |
| operant/instrumental conditioning | -learning that occurs in which a behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher |
| classical conditioning | -occurs when one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events |
