Attention
These simplify complex theories by representing the mechanics of a cognitive process in a diagrammatic form.
Cognitive Model
Social Learning Theory assumes we learn behavior through _____.
observation, models, and imitation
The process by which individuals or groups adopt elements of another culture.
Acculturation
This approach draws on universal behaviors and properties of cultures.
Etic approach
This excitatory neurotransmitter aids memory and learning.
Acetylcholine
Broadbent's Filter Model of Selective Attention is based on the ______ theory.
bottleneck theory
This study investigated whether aggression could be acquired through observation and imitation.
Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment (1961)
This person proposed the acculturation model.
Berry
This approach examines culturally specific behaviors.
Emic approach
Substances that transmit information throughout the brain and body to influence human behavior
What is a chemical messenger?
How incoming information from the environment is received
Sensory register
These neurons fire when an animal (or person) performs an action or observes somebody else perform the same action.
Mirror neurons
Berry proposed these four acculturation strategies.
Integration, separation, assimilation, marginalization
Limitations of an etic approach. (2 or more)
The process by which neurons communicate, sending chemical messages across the synaptic gap.
Neurotransmission
Selective filter
Factors that influence imitation of a model (name at least 2).
Consistency, identification with the model, liking the model, behavior is rewarded
The tension resulting from adapting to a new culture.
Acculturative stress
Ways researchers conduct an emic approach. (2 or more)
Research questions, test instruments informed by time spent in local community. Locals help conduct research. Problem-focused.
A chemical substance that binds to a specific receptor on a cell and activates it.
Agonist
Limitation(s) of Broadbent's Filter Model of Selective Attention.
Too simplistic, does not explain cocktail party effect, does not consider multi-tasking
The four cognitive aspects of observational learning
Attention, Retention, Potential/Reproduction, Motivation
Generational differences in acculturation, which can lead to conflict within families.
Limitations of an emic approach. (2 or more)
Time-consuming, expensive, test instruments may not be reliable
Neurotransmission research is based on a ____ approach.
Reductionist approach
