Classical Conditioning. Continuous. The neutral stimulus becomes the conditioned stimulus. Observational Learning. A learning process where a new or untrained stimulus elicits the same response as a previously learned stimulus, due to their similarity Learning through consequences where behavior is modified based on its outcome. Positively or negatively. Reinforcement. The greater the similarity between two stimuli, the greater the likelihood of stimulus generalization. Operant conditioning. Neutral. Learning. Learning through association where a stimulus triggers an involuntary response.

CNS - Central Nervous System & PNS - Peripheral Nervous System The dream stage where our brains are most active, our eyes dart back and forth behind our closed lids as though we are awake. Is a cardinal symptom of narcolepsy, the loss of voluntary muscle tone while awake or in some cases complete paralysis of the voluntary muscles. An extreme focus on the self that involves suggested changes of behavior and experience. Thinking about the meaning of new information and its relation to knowledge already stored in your memory. Are vivid, dream-like hallucinations. Involves an irresistible urge to fall asleep during waking hours. Often triggers by states of heightened arousal or stress.

A psychological approach that emphasizes social and cultural influences on behavior. Understanding the structure & characteristics of the mind through introspection. Ivan Pavlov How mental activities helped organize environmental reactions. The study of psychological issues that have DIRECT practical significance; also, the application of psychological findings. Wilhelm Wundt Sensation & Perception The study of how physical events interact with environmental events to produce memories, perceptions, and behavior. The study of everything about the human experience from the basic workings of the human brain. The study of psychological issues in order to seek knowledge for its own sake rather than for its practical application. Empirical evidence because it's based on rigorous research. The operation of the whole mind rather than of its individual parts, which were the focus of structuralism. Sigmund Freud, though his methods were controversial Greek for "study of the mind," is a pseudoscience relating bumps on the head to personality traits. Wilhelm Wundt 1879 A theory of personality and a method of psychotherapy (originally formulated by Sigmund Freud) that emphasizes unconscious motives and conflicts. William James founded Functionalism Psych=Soul Ology=Scientific study of Psychology=Scientific study of the mind & behavior The process of examining one's own conscious experience.

Case Study States of consciousness The study of relationships through obedience and authority. A lack of self choice and morality; more care of the command given. Genotype refers to your specific genetic make up only. Whereas the Phenotype is whether or not we observe the characteristics. A relationship between two or more variables that are connected or related to each other. They can be both positive and negative. An experiment which the researcher knows which participants are in the experimental group and which are in the control group but participants do not. Communicate every sense from our outer body to our inner sensors and motors so that they can react accordingly. Conclusions are drawn from observations. Negative conditioning. When told you are lesser, you will perform lesser. "When you're expected to fail, you're more likely to." There can be carriers of only one copy of the gene, but non-effective to activate the disease. Which can also be caused environmentally. The group that is given whatever the test requires. Human Development An experiment which both the researchers and the participants are blind to group assignments. (Controls for participant & experimenter expectations) Results are predicted based on a general premise. They put marshmallows in front of kids and told them not to eat it for 15mins. If they obeyed, they'd be rewarded with a second marshmallow. When you see or remember a relationship/correlation and the memory is either incorrect or overemphasized because of the rarity of the event. Human genetics would refer to nature rather than nurture. Studying human genetics helps with the basics of research. Industrial Organizational Psychology The predictions of how the world will behave if the theory is correct. Usually an "if ___ , then ___ ." statement. And is falsifiable. "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
