What process integrates new knowledge to existing schemas?
What is Assimilation?
100
The stimulus that prompts a natural, unlearned response
What is unconditioned stimulus?
100
What did Bandura call understanding the potential outcome if participants repeat the behavior?
Outcome expectancy
100
Often called the brain’s “reward chemical,” this neurotransmitter is associated with pleasure, motivation, and addiction.
What is dopamine?
100
Name this model.
What is the multi-store model?
200
What type of schema creates an expectation of a series of events in a specific situation?
What is Cognitive Script?
200
A study that proves classical conditioning
What is Pavlov’s Dog?
200
What is meant by vicarious reinforcement?
(What is)When we see someone else get positive feedback and therefore imitate the behavior.
200
This tiny gap between neurons is where neurotransmitters are released and received.
What is the synapse?
200
This part of the working memory model temporarily holds several sources of information and integrates it with information in long-term memory. It has limited capacity and is responsible for our conscious awareness.
What is the episodic buffer?
300
What does schema theory help predict?
Helps predict what is expected based on what happened before, interpret info based on what we know, fill in gaps in our memory or understanding.
300
A law that states any behaviour followed by a positive consequence will likely be repeated
What is Thorndike’s Law of Effect?
300
What are the cognitive factors of social learning theory?
Define one to get the points
(What is)Attention, retention, potential, and motivation
- Attention: The learner must pay attention to the model to learn a behavior. Certain factors, including its attractiveness, authority, or desirability, may influence whether attention is paid to the model.
- Retention: The observer must be able to remember the behavior that has been observed to produce that behavior immediately or after some time.
- Potential: To reproduce an observed behavior, observers must be physically and/or mentally able to carry it out—that is, they need to have a certain level of self-efficacy.
- Motivation: Learners must want to replicate the behavior that they have observed.
300
Another name for the process called neurotransmission.
What is Synaptic transmission?
300
This type of rehearsal involves linking new information in a meaningful way with information already stored in long-term memory.
What is elaborative rehearsal?
400
What are two potential outcomes when information is incongruent with our schema?
Change/distort information so it is more in line with our schema, tend to forget info, could assimilate information into our current schema.
400
A medical doctor is suspended because they violated patient confidentiality.
What is an example of negative punishment?
400
Social Learning Theory is difficult to test under naturalistic conditions because of…?
(What is) Extraneous variables.
400
The stage of neurotransmission where neurotransmitters are either broken down by enzymes or reabsorbed by terminal buttons.
What is reuptake?
400
These two individuals proposed the Working Memory Model.
Who is Baddeley and Hitch?
500
A suggestive question that affects the accuracy of memory recollection
What is a leading question?
500
A student continuously studies to avoid feeling guilty about procrastinating. Over time, the guilt lessens and studying becomes more frequent.
What is negative reinforcement?
500
What were the results of Bandura, Ross, and Ross (1963) follow up study?
(What is) The control group demonstrated significantly lower levels of aggression and Bandura found that the children who had watched the violent movie showed more aggressive behavior toward the Bobo doll.
500
These four neurotransmitters regulate memory, emotion, arousal, and the brain’s reward system.
What are acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin?
500
The act of repeating a word such as 'the', or a number such as 'one' while memorizing a list of words, is known as this. Research shows that these tasks decrease the accuracy of recall.
What is articulatory suppression?
