This is the awareness of your self and your environment. It can be altered spontaneously, physiologically, or psychologically.
What is Consciousness
100
This theory proposes that dreams sort out the day's events and consolidates memories.
What is Information-Processing Theory
100
This type of conditioning associates two stimuli to anticipate events. Ex: Thunder to lightning
What is Classical Conditioning
100
Thorndike's law that rewarded behavior is likely to recur.
What is Law of Effect
200
The biological clock in our bodies. Can be disrupted by jetlag, light exposure and other environmental factors.
What is the Circadian Rhythm
200
This theory states that dreams act as a "psychic safety valve" to express otherwise unacceptable feelings as manifest and latent content.
What is The Freudian Dream Theory
200
Also known as neuroadaption, this is when the brain adapts its chemistry to offset the effects of drugs. The "lazy brain".
What is Tolerance
200
This type of motivation associates a response and its consequences. Ex: Pavlov's dogs
What is Operant Conditioning
200
Procedure in which reinforcements gradually guide actions toward a desired behavior. (May use successive approximations: rewarding responses closer to the desired behavior)
What is Shaping
300
This type of scan shows alpha waves when you're awake, delta waves when you are in deep sleep, and the spindles in your mind's bursts of activity.
What is an EEG
300
This theory states that dreams merely act as a way for the brain to develop and preserve neural pathways.
What is the Physiological Theory
300
The craving for a substance despite adverse consequences.
What is Addiction
300
This first step in the five major conditioning processes is composed of adding the Conditioned Stimulus to the Unconditioned Stimulus to achieve the Unconditioned Response.
What is Acquisition
300
This is any event that strengthens the behavior that it follows. Either by adding stimuli or removing it.
Hint: The exact opposite to a Punishment.
What is Reinforcement
400
This is a periodic, natural, and reversible loss of consciousness
What is Sleep
400
This theory states that dreams are random neural firing caused by REM sleep that leads to random visual cues that the brain interprets and weaves into stories.
What is the Activation-Synthesis Theory
400
These drugs temporarily excite neural activity and arouse body functions. Hint: They're opposites are depressants.
What are Stimulants
400
This stage follows extinction (the progressive decrease of the CR when the CS is offered without the US) and happens due to the reappearance of the CR after a pause in conditioning.
What is Spontaneous Recovery
400
This is learning from experience with or without reinforcement. It is not apparent until incentive is given for a demonstration.
What is Latent Learning
500
This happens to REM sleep as the night progresses. Also, its opposite happens to Deep Sleep.
When is REM increases; Deep Sleep decreases.
500
This theory suggests that dreams reflect what we know and understand about our world through the unconscious.
What is the Cognitive Theory
500
These drugs distort perceptions and evoke sensory images without outward stimuli.
What are Hallucinogens
500
This stage comes before Discrimination (the ability to distinguish between CS and similar stimuli not meant to trigger the US) and is when the CR is in response to similar stimuli. Ex: Pavlov's dogs drooling to a different bell.
What is Generalization
500
Replicating a behavior which we observe or imitate to learn.
