Sleep!
When you don’t get enough sleep, you tend to get sick more often because this is suppressed.
Immune System
This is the failure to notice something that’s fully obvious when your attention is otherwise engaged and is demonstrated when you miss the gorilla.
Inattentional Blindness
This is the universal aspect of development and primarily defines how age changes our biology through the life span
Maturation
OCEAN is one of these and professors might tell you to use it to help you remember the Big 5 personality traits.
Mnemonic device
In operant conditioning, the likes are this in the scenario in which you continue to upload Tik Tok videos.
What is reinforcement or the reinforcer?
You’re supposed to clip newborns’ nails during this stage of their sleep because they wake less easily during it.
Deep sleep/non-rem
When Allport et al. (1972) investigated our ability to drive while talking, they were investigating this type of attention.
Divided Attention
His theory of development features stages in which children learn how to solve specific problems. You would be beyond his stages having generally mastered formal operations in your teen years.
Piaget
This effect helps illustrate that memory is malleable and occurs when misleading information is presented after the initial encounter but prior to test and does lead participants to make specific memory errors.
Misinformation Effect
In classical conditioning, the song “Stand by Me” is this in the scenario in which your mother becomes misty-eyed when she hears it. It was the song for your parents’ first dance at their wedding.
What is the conditioned stimulus?
How much time we spend in this stage of sleep (and how much time we actually need to spend in it) changes as we grow older. It’s the stage in which we dream.
REM
Generally, those with attention deficit disorders have a difficulty doing this, which frankly, most of us do for long periods of time regardless of diagnosis status.
Sustained Focus
His theory of development also featured stages in which obstacles were met but his theory emphasizes growth through the lifespan. According to him, you would be in the intimacy vs. isolation stage
Erickson
Besides storage and retrieval, this is one of the important three processes of memory in which you attend to the to-be remembered information.
Encoding
When one makes the association with other similar stimuli as Little Albert did with white rabbits and Santa’s beard.
What is generalization?
When you don’t get enough sleep, it affects your ability to focus and this other important, basic cognitive process that enables you to perform well as a student.
Memory
Your attention should be on the task of allowing yourself to fall into a state of deep relaxation (and of increased suggestibility) during this.
Hypnosis
In response to Piaget’s almost exclusive focus on the cognitive aspects of learning and development, he proposed the zone of proximal development and defined learning in more social terms.
Vygotsky
Instead of a passive rehearsal buffer, Baddeley and colleagues proposed that information is chronologically tagged by the episodic buffer and if it is auditory in nature, the central executive directs the information to this for further processing.
What is the phonological loop?
This is easy for some behaviors but not all since spontaneous recovery makes it harder for some
What is extinction?
When you don’t get enough sleep, this hormone increases, which leads to sensations of hunger.
Ghrelin
Your attention might be on something that isn’t actually in front of you but you perceive to be there when you alter your consciousness with a psychoactive drug of this classification
Hallucinogen
His stage theory of moral development is problematic, not just because it’s a stage theory but also because it is based entirely on values from a 1980’s man’s perspective of navigating Western society.
Kohlberg
This theory proposes that the passage of time makes us not remember because either previously known information prevents new learning or new learning displaces previously known material.
What is interference theory?
This type of reinforcement schedule is based on time, which can be either fixed (e.g., every Tuesday) or variable (e.g., the length of time it takes to get a reply to your last text). It’s not the most effective for quick learning.
What is an interval scale?
