Psychology as a Science
This is the number of pillars of psychology, according to the APA.
What are the five pillars?
This is an individual understanding of a concept, somewhat like a mental file folder.
What is schema?
These are rules for acceptable and expected behavior, generally implicit, in a given social situation.
What are social norms?
This is a core conceptual framework to understand the cognitive, motivational, and emotional aspects of learning.
What is self-regulated learning?
This social construct is related to how society groups individuals. This is currently based primarily on physical characteristics.
What is race?
This process involves having experts in a particular field review research and provide feedback prior to publication.
What is peer review?
Taking cognitive shortcuts leads us to categorize stimuli and reference recent or emotionally charged memories. This comes in many forms, such as hindsight and rosy retrospection.
What is bias?
This is the process through which we internalize social norms and expectations related to our own identities and cultures.
What is socialization?
This theory is known as the basis for social constructivist theories of learning.
What is Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development?
This theory of motivation describes motivation as a combination of expectancy for success and value for the task.
What is expectancy value theory?
This statistical measure is intended to indicate the broadness of a bell curve by showing how close 68% of cases are to the mean.
What is standard deviation?
This is the process through which our nerves receive input from stimuli and send messages to our brains. It is partnered with perception.
What is sensation?
This is the process of recognizing, interpreting, and responding to social stimuli.
What is social information processing?
This theory was based on stages of cognitive development that we now know to be faulty. However, it's focus on building knowledge based on experience is still a major influence in learning research today.
What is Piaget's theory of cognitive development?
Please name at least two of Dr. Kraatz's pets.
Dogs: Pavlov, Piper, Felix
Cats: Schrodinger and Purrsy
Chickens: Vera, Mabel, Agnes, Beulah, Edna, and Ethel
This is a measure of how consistent a measurement instrument is.
What is reliability?
This type of memory lasts at most 20 seconds and is in charge of making sense of stimuli.
What is working memory?
This type of conformity occurs when a person's thinking or behavior changes due to accepting someone else's experience of reality as valid.
What is information social influence?
Based in behaviorist models of learning, this type of conditioning involves a stimulus presented prior to a response and an involuntary behavior.
What is classical conditioning?
Emotions can be categorized on these three criteria.
What are valence, activation, and object focus?
This type of research does not rely on statistics and instead does deep analysis of data using methods such as case study.
This is the process of moving information from working to long term memory.
What is encoding?
This type of bias occurs during social information processing and leads someone to perceive malintent in the world around them.
What is hostile attribution bias?
This theory of SRL focuses on a learner's shifting focus between cognitive (learning) and affective (wellbeing) aspects of the learning process.
What is Boekarts' model of SRL?
This testable measure used to be someone's cognitive age divided by their chronological age but now involves complicated statistical norming.
What is the intelligence quotient (IQ)?
