http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B4xdTlrmZTl3YTY0NjExMmQtNjkxNy00YzNhLTk5OGEtNTNjYTJiMDliZjJh&hl=en
Here are a few names to review...
Hawthorne Effect = Showed that factory workers had improved work performance with both improved and poor lighting. Conclusion was that they improved simply because they were being observed in the experiment.
Roger Sperry = The first to propose "split-brain surgery" to help epileptic patients.
Jean Piaget = Proposed four stages of cognitive development. (Remember the acronym Socks Pulled Over Cold Feet to remember these in order.) Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete, and Formal Stages.
Erik Erikson = Proposed eight stages of psychosocial development. (KNOW THESE!!)
Lawrence Kohlberg = Proposed three stages of MORAL development. (all framed around the word conventional.) This theory was criticized as it only tested young children by framing hypothetical situations for them and their responses to these. It did not test cross-culturally and between the genders.
Konrad Lorentz = Imprinting studies. Showed how baby animals would follow the first object they saw after birth. Believed to be a built-in survival mechanism.
Jerome Kagan = Studies to indicate that in-born temperament may explain many behaviors.
Harry Harlow = Showed importance of physical touch over nourishment in infant monkeys.
Mary Ainsworth = Secure infants have good bonds with mothers. Reverse is also true.
Elenor Gibson = The "visual cliff experiment". Showed that depth perception cues are innate.
Hubel and Weisel = Studies with monkeys to show that they had specific FEATURE DECECTORS to aid them in visual processing. (Some for lines, bars, edges, shapes, etc.)
Ernest Hilgard = Studies showing that a hypnotic trance includes a "hidden observer' suggesting that there is some subconscious control during hypnosis.
Ivan Pavlov = Famous for his classical conditioning experiments.
Robert Rescorla = Proposed that there is conscious connection between the CS and the DCS in classical conditioning experiments. (A smoker is aware that a nausea-producing drug will affect his behavior.)
John B. Watson = Famous for the controversial Little Albert classical conditioning experiment.
B.F. Skinner = Famous for me "Skinner Box to demonstrate operant conditioning in low level animals.
Albert Bandura = “Bo-Bo Doll" Experiment to demonstrate how children imitate anti-social behavior.
Confusing Pairs
Here are some terms that sound alike but mean different things. Review them!
Independent Variable (What is tested) vs. Dependent Variable (What is measured)
(Ex: Recess to test attention span; recess is independent, attention span is dependent)
Random selection (of subjects for a study) vs. Random Assignment (of subjects to experimental or control groups in a study)
Experimental Group (group that is tested) vs. Control Group (compared to the experimental, i.e. receives the placebo in a drug experiment.)
Left Brain (Language and Logic) vs. Right Brain (Creative and Spatial)
Corpus Callosum (divides the brain) vs. Cerebral Cortex (covers the brain)
Sympathetic Nervous System ("flight-or-fight") vs. Parasympathetic (calming)
Neurotransmitters (in the nervous system) vs. Hormones (in the endocrine system)
Broca's Area (makes words) vs. Wernicke’s Area (comprehends words)
Identical Twins (Same fertilized egg) vs. Fraternal Twins (Two separate eggs)
Afferent Neurons (Sensory, body to the brain) vs. Efferent Neurons Motor, brain to the body)
Assimilation (All four-legged animals are "doggies") vs. Accommodation ("Doggies are different than "Kitties")
Concrete Operations (logical thinking) vs. Formal Operations (Philosophical thinking)
Sensation (Bottom-up Processing) vs. Perception (Top-Down Processing)
Rods (night vision) vs. Cones (color vision)
Classical Conditioning (Involuntary) vs. Operant Conditioning (Voluntary)
Positive Reinforcement (any reward following a desirable behavior that increases the behavior) vs. Negative Reinforcement (ending “time-out” for bad behavior in playtime increases good behavior in playtime)
Primacy Effect (first items remembered) vs. Recency Effect (last items remembered)
Proactive Interference (loss of the new info) vs. Retroactive Interference (loss of the old info)
Implicit Memory (nondeclarative; skills) vs. Explicit Memory (declarative, facts)
Recall Memory (no cues/fill-in) vs. Recognition Memory (Some hints/multiple choice, matching)

Sweet Dreams! Sleep log and dream journal for Unit 5
1. Sleep Log: Create a CHART and record the following data for at least THREE (3) nights (be sure to record data from at least one non-school night where you can get up whenever you want in the morning):
- Time you fall asleep
- Time you woke up
- Number of hours you slept total
- Number of times you woke up during the night and why
- Amount of caffeine in the hours before bed, and at what time(s) (one cola, etc.)
- How you woke up: on your own or by alarm/other person
- If you remember having any dreams on this night
2. Dream Journal: Be sure to write down at least ONE dream from this weekend in detail, then write five different explanations for your one dream using each of the five dream theories. You may choose to use five different dreams, if you have that many.
Even people who claim they never dream will recall a dream if awakened during the REM sleep stage. Everyone dreams every night. You may have greater success remembering your dreams if you use these tips:
- Keep a pen and paper next to your bed
- At night before bed, tell yourself that you'll remember and write your dream in the morning
- When you wake up, stay laying down with your eyes closed(remember context-dependent memory!) and think about what you were just dreaming
- With the lights still dim, write whatever pieces of your dream you are remembering on the paper you have next to your bed
- If you try the above one night and it doesn't work, try setting you alarm for ten minutes before you normally wake up the next day. You might be able to catch yourself in a the REM (dream) stage that way.
Sweet dreams!

Unit 3B Brain Model and Links
Brain Model Assignment!
You will be building a 3D model brain using the material of your choice.
Your model will be due on Friday 10/10, which is also TEST DAY.
-Your brain can be made out of anything you want (clay, ceramic, foam) EXCEPT FOR FOOD. You may NOT use food or anything that is perishable to build your brain.
-You may work with a partner. You may work with someone who has AP psych another period.
-You may create a standing 3D model, a hanging 3D model, or a 3D model that lays flat.
-Your goal is to develop a model that identifies specific structures of the human brain. The structures that you must identify are listed below.
-You may either number the parts of your model and make a key, or you may label them directly on the model.
-Your model should be approximately life-sized and split in half so that we can see the inner sides of both hemispheres. You might want to label the inside of one hemisphere and the outside of the other hemisphere. You don't need to label the same structure twice on the two hemispheres.
-HERE'S A 3D BRAIN MODEL ONLINE YOU CAN ROTATE AND LOOK AT FOR REFERENCE: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/3d/
-Also, if you have an Android or iPhone, you can download the 3D Brain app from The DANA Foundation for free.

Psych Club and Psych Bowl!!!
Hello all current and former AP Psychos!
You are invited to participate in the
Fourth Annual Psychology Bowl
event that will be held on April 12, 2014
at Cypress Bay HS.
We will be participating in
a Jeopardy-style competition, as well as
a poster presentation event.
All are welcome to attend,
even if you are not competing in the events.
Please be sure to attend Psych Club on Friday mornings in my room to pay dues $10 and get details.
For those of you participating in the poster event, here's the fine print...
For either poster category, please use a template from a template site! http://www.genigraphics.com/templates/default.asp.
Category 1: Literary review posters must include these sections:
Literary review posters will grant participants the opportunity to explore a topic of choice from any school of psychology. Students may work alone or in groups of two or three students.Literary review posters can be on a psychological contributor, experiment, topic, etc. They must include:
2) Background and/or historical concepts/key theories/ideas
3) Review of procedures and/or instruments used (including experiments) to obtain the psychological concepts/key theories/ideas
4) Application of topic to current world/societal issues and norms
5) Recommendations for further research (including changing or growing on, even replicating research) or further readings
6) What sources were used? Note: Full APA reference needed for at least 5 sources. Please refer to APA citing at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Email me if you need help with this.
7) All posters must have a picture/visual and chart/graph representing the data.
or Category 2: Student experiment posters
Posters based on a student-performed experiment will allow a hands-on experience where students must analyze their own findings. You may adapt your psych-related science fair project as a base for an experiment poster. Students may work alone or in groups of two or three students. You must include:
1) Introduction to the experiment in which they address the problem at hand.
3) Student’s hypothesis supported with background information on the topic.
4) Data obtained through experimental trials should be presented in a neat format. All posters must have a picture/visual and chart/graph representing the data.
5) Analysis of experimental results including possible psychological implications. This portion of the poster must connect to the original hypothesis in assessing its accuracy relative to the final conclusion of the experiment. If the student’s experimental conclusion differs from their hypothesis, they must explain why the hypothesis may be wrong or what flaws in the experiment may have led to the contradiction.
Some examples for posters:
o http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/projects/psychology.html
o http://www.juliantrubin.com/psychologyprojects.html
6) What sources were used, in APA format. Please refer to APA citing at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Five SHS posters will be submitted for judging at District level!
Email me if you have questions... Lara.Herrera@BrowardSchools.com,
or text me if you have my number.
