"Thanks Freud" -Professor Gardner
This term is what Freud proposed as the three integral parts of the personality/psyche that process internal and external realities
What is Freud's Ego Theory?
This term is a method of learning using the law of consequences that shapes the frequency or intensity of a behavior
What is operant conditioning?
During the embryonic stage, this vital organ begins beating around week 4.
What is the heart?
Mechanisms such as repression, denial, projection, displacement, regression, and sublimation
What are defense mechanisms?
This term is a type of reinforcement that adds a desirable stimulus after a behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again. For example, giving a child a treat for completing their homework.
What is positive reinforcement?
This stage of prenatal development lasts from fertilization to about two weeks and includes cell division and implantation.
What is the germinal stage?
This term is known as the "inner child" and is responsible for arbitrary desires and physical needs
What is the id?
This type of reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus after a behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again. For example, taking painkillers to remove a headache encourages taking painkillers in the future for pain relief.
What is negative reinforcement?
This structure, which develops during the germinal stage, provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus throughout pregnancy.
What is the placenta?
This term is also known as the "main character" and is responsible for maintaining balance between the id and superego, facing realities that may or may not be consistent with id/superego needs
What is the ego?
This term is a type of punishment that adds an unpleasant stimulus after a behavior to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring again. For example, assigning extra chores when a child misbehaves.
What is positive punishment?
Quickening, or the first detectable fetal movements, typically occurs during this range of weeks in the fetal stage.
What are weeks 16–20?
This term is known as the "inner parent" and is responsible for maintaining social and moral responsibility
What is the superego?
This term is a type of punishment that removes a desirable stimulus after a behavior to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring again. For example, removing video game privileges when a child neglects their responsibilities.
What is negative punishment?
This term describes the process during the embryonic stage when major organs and bodily systems start to form.
What is organogenesis?
