Psych Exam III: note
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Which box model works better: the one-direction box or the two-direction box? | The one direction box BECAUSE it has a safe zone. It has a way to turn off the punishment, a place that the rat knows is safe. If the rat were to be constantly bombarded with a tone and shock wherever he went, he would not bother to respond to the CS. |
What is the CS? | It's EVERYTHING that occurs before the punishment, INCLUDING THE ENVIRONMENT |
What is the neurotic paradox? | The inability of a person to stop responding to stress in a symptomatic way despite knowing that what he/she is doing is entirely irrational. |
What study tried to understand the neurotic paradox? | Solomon and Wynne, who introduced traumatic shock to dogs |
What observations did Solomon and Wynne make? | With time, the dog waited longer and longer to jump after the tone. But every time the dog took a while to respond, it would become anxious immediately when the tone sounded the next time around. |
Partial Irreversibility Hypothesis | to explain the absence of fear with extended training: the animals' quick response to the CS did not permit the time required for the elicitation of the classically conditioned fear response. |
Conservation of Anxiety Hypothesis | to explain why a long latency response to the CS reinstated a fear response: fear to any part of the CS will be conserved unless it has been sufficiently exposed to permit full extinction |
What part of the nervous system is engaged in Hull's theory? | Parasympathetic |
What part of the nervous system is engaged in Mowrer's theory? | Sympathetic |
Mowrer's Two Factor Theory of Avoidance | 1. Fear is conditioned to preceding environmental cues 2. Removing the cues will reinforce avoidance behavior |
Seligman's Learned Helplessness Theory | Learned helplessness occurs when a repeatedly unsystematic event creates the feeling of no escape and no control. |
Seligman and Johnson's Expectancy Theory | Explains why a dog would continue through the experiment 400+ times: there is a cognitive expectancy of shock, that if the dog does not jump he will be shocked even if he is no longer afraid of this shock. |
Seligman's Prepared Theory | We are afraid of things like spiders and snakes and wolves because our ancestors needed to be afraid of them so that they would survive--we have inherited the fear. |
Eysenck's Theory of Incubation | Fear will incubate over time--it will collect and grow and worsen. |
Thomas Stampfl | Implosive Flooding therapy -- Extreme flooding therapy involving the introduction of extremely distressing thoughts/scenes narrated by the therapist |
E. Shapiro EMDR | 10-20 voluntary bilateral rhythmic eye movements in the presence of imaginal recall of specific aspects of a particular traumatic memory |
Joseph Wolpe | Reciprocal inhibition psychotherapy--inhibition of one response by the occurrence of another response that is mutually incompatible with it. Also SYSTEMATIC DESENSITIZATION |
B.F. Skinner | Token economy |
Dollard and Miller | psychoanalytic learning theory involving: drive, cue, response, and reward |
Salter | Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis |
