    • oxytocin: love

  • brain

    • scn: maintains circadian rhythm

    • ras: controls alertness and sleep wake transitions

    • pon: ctrls fine movement during sleep

    • thalamus: sensory relay station

    • hippocampus: short to long term memory

    • medulla: controls breathing and heart rate

    • hypothalamus: maintains homeostasis

  • agonists incr neurotransimtter effect, antagonists block

  • sleep waves (BATD)

  • place theory: diff places in cochlea respond to different freq leading to diff pitch

  • freq theory: auditory nerves fire at similar rates to sound freq leading to diff pitch

  • volley theory: neuron groups fire in patterns for frequencies that are too high for one neuron

  • memory

    • explicit: info that is conciously recalled

      • episodic: personal exp

      • semantic: facts

    • implicit

      • procedural: how to do stuff

      • prospective: remember to do stuff in future

    • LTP: synapses become stronger more times its ultized

    • encoding specificity principle: retrieval cues help us retrieve memories!

    • retroactive means cant recall old stuff / anterograde means cant recall new stuff

    • social learning theory: learning is based off of watching/imitating (vicarious conditioning)

    • sociocultural theory: learning occurs with social interaction

    • ratio means every time favorable action done, interval is some time (fixed interval = scalloped)

    • critical period: time REQUIRED for certain development

    • sensitive period: time IDEAL for certain development, can be learned later

    • rooting is for chest, moro is for falling

    • models

      • working memory: central exec, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad

      • multistore model: sensory (iconic+echoic), short term, long term

      • lvl of processing: (weak) structural, phonemic, semantic (strong)

  • iq = (mental / chronological)*100

  • achievement test: what yk at that time

  • aptitude: predicts how u’ll do in future

  • sensorimotor →preoperational→concrete operational→formal operatonional

  • broaden and build: doing goods makes u wanna do more good

  • social influence theory

    • normative: ones desire to be liked by group

    • informational: decisions based on those who have better info

  • self

    • concept: how u see urself

    • esteem: how u feel ab how u see urself

    • efficacy: how u think u can succeed

  • ecological sys theory

    • micro: immediate eN with direct interaction (family)

    • meso: interaction between diff micros (fam vs school)

    • exo: social settings that dont involve person directly but affects person (school board decisions)

    • macro: larger cultural values and customs

    • chrono: influence of time on ones dev

  • eriiksons things

  • AAQ

    • A: ID research method

      • experiment

      • correlational research

      • naturalistic observation

      • meta analysis

      • case study

    • C: Describe stat

      • mean

      • median

      • mode

      • range: greater range means more variability, but can be misleading

      • standard deviation: low/high SD means greater/less consistency

      • percentile rank

      • skewness: tail to right means skewed pos, tail to left means skewed neg

      • correlational coefficient: strong/weak pos/neg correlatoin?

      • effect size:

      • stat significance

    • D: Describe ethical guideline

      • approved by IRB

      • informed a/consent

      • protection from harm

      • confedentiality

      • allowed to withdraw

      • full debriefing at the end
