What are genes? (not the pants oli!)


  • Genes are sections of DNA that carry instructions for biological characteristics and are inherited from parents.
  • They can influence behaviour by affecting biological processes, but behaviour results from an interaction between genes and the environment.

What are the three stages of the Multi-Store Model?

Sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM).

What theory explains how people develop part of their self-concept from membership in social groups?

Social Identity Theory

What is the capital of Canada?

What is neuroplasticity?

The brain's ability to change its structure or functioning in response to experience, learning or injury.

What are chemical messengers released by neurons that influence behaviour and cognition?

Neurotransmitters yaaay

Schema theory

What are organised mental frameworks that help people interpret and process information?

200

What theory proposes that behaviour can be learned through observing and imitating others?

Social Learning Theory (SCT)

Which artist painted The Persistence of Memory?

Salvador Dalí

How can direct tuition and observational learning work together during enculturation

Children can be explicitly taught cultural norms while also observing and imitating the behaviour of parents, peers and other cultural models.

What is the biological explanation that behaviour can be influenced by differences in brain regions and their functions? Function and activity can therefor be traced back to it...

Localization of function

What are shared expectations about appropriate behaviour within a group or culture called?

Social norms

Why is the Working Memory Model considered more useful for explaining complex cognitive tasks?

It explains how different components can simultaneously process different types of information, rather than treating STM as one passive store.

Outline Mate-Selection Theory!

  • Mate selection theory suggests humans have evolved preferences for partners who increase the likelihood of successful reproduction and healthy offspring.
  • Linked to survival of the fittest, advantageous mate preferences increase the chance of passing genes to future generations.
  • Humans may prefer genetically dissimilar partners, potentially increasing genetic diversity and offspring health.
  • Wedekind et al. (1995) found women tended to prefer the scent of men with dissimilar MHC genes, supporting an evolutionary explanation.

explain Dual Processing Model (according to In-Thinking)

  • Dual Process Model: Decision-making involves two systems: System 1, which is fast, automatic and intuitive, and System 2, which is slower, analytical and rational.
  • System 1: Uses intuitive thinking and heuristics to make quick decisions with limited information.
  • System 2: Uses rational thinking, requiring more conscious effort and analysis.
  • Cognitive load: The amount of working-memory resources being used; high cognitive load makes System 1 thinking more likely.
  • Cognitive miser: The tendency to minimise mental effort and use simpler strategies when possible.
  • Ego depletion: Reduced self-control or willpower when mental resources have been heavily used.
  • Heuristics: Rules of thumb that allow quick decisions using limited information.

The process of Acculturation...

What is the process of adapting to or adopting aspects of another culture called?

Why are twin studies useful in investigating genetic influences on behaviour?

Identical twins share almost all their genes, while fraternal twins share about half; comparing their similarity can provide evidence about genetic versus environmental influences.

500

Why can a genetic explanation of behaviour be considered reductionist, and how does an interactionist approach provide a fuller explanation?

  • Reductionist: It focuses mainly on genes and biological mechanisms, potentially ignoring environmental and social influences on behaviour.
  • Interactionist: Behaviour results from an interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental factors, meaning genes may increase susceptibility but do not necessarily determine behaviour.
  • Therefore, the biological approach provides part of the explanation, but behaviour is often more complex than biology alone.
500

According to schema theory, why might two people remember the same event differently?

Their existing schemas influence how they interpret, encode and reconstruct information, so the same event can be remembered differently.

500

According to Social Identity Theory, how can group membership influence behaviour toward members of an out-group?

Categorising people into in-groups and out-groups can produce in-group identification and potentially bias or discrimination toward the out-group.
