QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1 A+
GRADE
Psychology
The Scientific Study Of Behavior And Mental Processses
Structuralism
Involved Introspection And Study Of Basic Components Of Conscious Experiences
Read More
Functionalism
Explored How Mental And Behavioral Processes Function- How They Enable The
Organism To Adapt, Survive, And Flourish
Hypothesis
A Tentative Statement About The Relationship Between 2 Or More Variables; A
Testable Prediction Or Question
Operational Definition
A Precise Definition Of How The Variables In A Study Will Be Manipulated Or Measured
Theory
A Tentative Explanation That Tries To Integrate And Account For The Relationship Of
Various Findings And Observations
Correlation Coefficiant
Numerical Indication Of Magnitude And Direction Of The Relationship Between 2
Variables
Independent Variable
The Experimental Factor That Is Manipulated
Dependent Variable
The Variable That May Be Changed In The Response Of The Independent Variable
True Experiment
Naturalistic Observation
The Systematic Observation And Recording Of Behaviors As They Occur In Their
Natural Setting
Case Study
, An Intensive Study Of A Single Individual Or Small Group Of Individuals
Learning
Relatively Enduring Change In Behavior Or Knowledge As A Result Of Experience
Classical Conditioning
Type Of Learning In Which 1 Learns To Link 2 Or More Stimuli And Anticipate Events
Unconditional Response
Unlearned, Reflexive Response That Is Elicited By An Unconditional Stimulus
Unconditional Stimulus
Natural Stimulus That Reflexively Elicits A Response Without The Need Prior Learning
Conditional Stimulus
Formerly Neutral Stimulus That Acquires The Capacity To Elicit A Reflexive Response
Conditional Response
Learned, Reflexive Response To A Conditional Stimulus
Stimulus Generalization
The Occurrence Of A Learned Response Not Only To The Original Stimulus But To
Other,
Similar Stimulus As Well
Stimulus Discrimmination
The Occurrence Of A Learned Response To A Specific Stimulus But Not To Other,
Similar
Stimuli
Higher Order Conditioning
Procedure In Which A Conditioned Stimulus From One Learning Trial Functions As The
Unconditioned Stimulus In A New Conditioning Trial; The Second Conditioned Stimulus
Comes To Elicit The Conditioned Response, Even Though It Has Never Been Directly
Paired With The Unconditioned Stimulus
Extinction
Gradual Weakening And Apparent Disappearance Or Conditioned Behavior; Occurs
When The Conditioned Stimulus Is Repeatedly Presented Without The Unconditioned
Stimulus
Spontaneous Recovery
Reappearance Of A Previously Extinguished Conditioned Response After A Period Of
Time Without Exposure To The Conditioned Stimulus
