1. According psychodynamic psychology,what is depression the result of?
| |
|
|
| | | | | | | |
-Changes in brain chemistry | | |
-Learned responses |
-Suppressed aggressive drives | |

| | | | | |
(G)which can be a result of a number of factors, including childhood trauma, cultural
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
norms, or a lack of support to process emotions
| | | | | | | | |
2. Who was a key figure in the development of the behaviorist school of

psychological thought?
| |
-William James |
-B. F. Skinner
| |
-Sigmund Freud |
-EdwardTitchener: -B. F. Skinner | | | |
(G)Skinner identified three types of responses, or operant, that can follow behavior.
| | | | | | | | | | |
-Neutral operants: Responses from the environment that neither increase nor de-
| | | | | | | | | |
crease the probability of a behavior being repeated.
| | | | | | | |
-Reinforcers: Responses from the environment that increase the probability of a | | | | | | | | | |
behavior being repeated. Reinforcers can be either positive or negative.
| | | | | | | | | |
-Punishers: Responses from the environment that decrease the likelihood of a behavio
| | | | | | | | | | |
being repeated. Punishment weakens behavior.
| | | | |
(Operant=involving the modification of behavior by the reinforcing orinhibiting effect of | | | | | | | | | | |
its own consequences (instrumental conditioning).
| | | | |
noun
an item of behavior that is initially spontaneous, rather than a response to a
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
prior stimulus, but whose consequences may reinforce or inhibit recurrence of that
| | | | | | | | | | |
behavior.)

be satisfied, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

| | | |
5. Suppose there is a positive correlation between age and life satisfaction. | | | | | | | | | |
What conclusion does the correlation support?
| | | | |
-As age increases, the level of life satisfaction also increases.
| | | | | | | | |
-There is no relationship between age and life satisfaction.
| | | | | | | |
-Aging causes a decrease in life satisfaction.
| | | | | |
-As age increases, the level of life satisfaction decreases.: -As age increases, the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
level of life satisfaction also increases.
| | | | | |
6. How can psychological researchers reduce the impact of their own biases?
| | | | | | | | | |
-By collecting all the data from experiments before running the statistics
| | | | | | | | | |
-By looking back after the study has been completed and judging its merits
| | | | | | | | | | | |
-By accepting conclusions if they appear intuitive
| | | | | |
-By examining data from a series of observations and looking for trends: -By

7. Phineas Gage was involved in a serious railway construction accident in | | | | | | | | | |
1848. A steel rod went through his left cheek and exited through the top of his
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
head. After he recovered, people who knew him noticed that his personality
| | | | | | | | | | | |
andbehavior were different. Eventually, descriptions of Gage before and after the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
accident provided evidence that the frontal lobe is involved in executive

-Hippocampus
-Hypothalamus
-Thalamus
-Amygdala: -Hippocampus |
(G)region of the brain that is associated primarily with memory. The name hippocam- pus
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
is derived from the Greek hippokampus (hippos, meaning "horse," and kampos,
| | | | | | | | | | |
