Emotion vs mood

-Moods typically last much longer than emotions.

-Moods are less intense than our emotions: we attend to our emotional states, whereas moods generally provide background to our everyday activities.

-We know why we are experiencing an emotion, while a mood is usually unclear.

Americans and pre-literate villagers in New Guinea could reliably recognize six emotions from facial expressions.

New cards
7

James-Lange theory

Our awareness of our own bodily states is crucially important in determining our emotional experiences.

New cards
8

According to the James-Lange theory, what three stages are involved in producing emotion?

1. Emotional stimulus (e.g, “I see a bear”).

2. The perception produces bodily changes (e.g, “I run away")".

3. Feedback from the bodily changes to the brain leads to the experience of emotion

New cards
9

Introspective sensitivity

Individual differences in accuracy of detecting one’s own internal bodily sensations.

New cards
10

Reactive aggression

New cards

12

Physical aggression

Aggressive behavior designed to cause physical harm to another person

New cards
13

Relational aggression

New cards
14

Biological approach- Aggressive behavior

Some individuals inherit genes that make them more likely than other individuals to be aggressive. This approach claims that the greater aggression shown by males is due to biological factors e.g, testosterone

New cards
15

Aggression gender differences

Findings suggest there are no gender differences in anger or relational aggression.

-Men have higher levels of escalation of aggressive behavior.

New cards
16

Situational factors- Aggressive behavior

Aggression is always a consequence of frustration, but frustration doesn’t always lead to aggression

New cards
17

Social learning theory

Much aggressive behavior is influenced by observational learning

-Observers are more likely to imitate aggression if it is rewarded rather than punished

New cards
18

Family process- aggressive behavior

Children’s aggressive behavior depends on the functioning of the whole family rather than simply the child’s behavior or that of the parents.

New cards

John Piaget

Most famous development psychologist

New cards
20

Accommodation

The individual adjusts to the outside world by changing their cognitive organization

New cards
21

Assimilation

The individual adjusts their interpretation of the outside world to fit their existing cognitive organization

New cards
22

John Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests…

Children move through four different stages of intellectual development

New cards
23

Sensorimotor

Birth-2 years

Understands world through senses and actions

No awareness of the continued existence of objects

Abilities developed in this stage: Object permanence, self-recognition, deferred imitation, and representational play

New cards
24

Preoperational

2-7 years

Understands world through language and mental images

They can think of things symbolically

Have not developed the idea of conservation

It is expected for children to display egocentrism

New cards
25

Concrete operational

7-12 years

Understands world through logical thinking and categories

Begin to understand conservation

Can mentally reverse things

Less egocentrism

New cards
26

Formal operational

12 years+

Understands world through hypothetical thinking and scientific reasoning

New cards
27

Vygotsky’s theory

Culture and social factors and their effects on cognitive development

New cards
28

Zone of proximal development

-Things you can do on your own

-Things you can do with a bit of help

-Things you can’t do, no matter the support you get

New cards
29

Sieglar’s overlapping waves theory

Micro genetic studies consistently show that children’s thinking is highly variable.

-Development is a process of variability, choice, and change

New cards
30

Theory of mind

The understanding that other people may have different beliefs, emotions, and intentions than their own

New cards
31

Receptive language

The understanding of a language

New cards
32

Expressive language

language production

New cards
33

Phonology

The sound patterns of a language

ex. ng will never appear at the beginning of a word

New cards
34

Semantics

New cards
35

Syntax

The arrangement of words in a sentence

New cards
36

Pragmatics

“The spy sees the police officer with the binoculars”

who has the binoculars?

Background knowledge and context to understand language

New cards
37

Noam Chomsky

Known for his contribution to and work in linguistics

New cards
38

Who created the inside out theories

Noam Chomsky

New cards
39

Inside out theories

-Language has several unique factors

-Language is innate/biologically determined

-Universal grammar

-Language environment and experience determine which language a child learns only affects acquisition to a limited extent.

New cards
40

Chomsky argued to explain why:

-Only humans developed language fully

-There are similarities among languages

-There is fast acquisition of language despite limited exposure

New cards
41

Tomasello

New cards
42

Components of human morality

Cognitive component (how you think)

Emotional component

Behavioral component

New cards
43

Kohlberg’s cognitive developmental theory

Moral development relies heavily on changes in moral reasoning and on children’s increasing cognitive abilities

-Moving through the stages is not a product of maturity

New cards
44

Level 1 of cognitive developmental theory

Pre-conventional morality

Right and wrong is determined by rewards/ punishments

Stage 1: Punishment/ obedience- whatever leads to punishment is wrong
