PSY 383 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS COMPLETE
WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
\.Associationism - ANSWERS✔-The principle that memory depends on the
formation of linkages ("associations") between pairs of events, sensations, and
ideas, such that recalling or experiencing one member of the pair elicits a memory
or anticipation of the other.
\.Behaviorism - ANSWERS✔-A school of thought that says psychology should
restrict itself to the study of observable behaviors (such as lever presses,
salivation, and other measurable actions) and not seek to infer unobservable
mental processes
\.Blind design - ANSWERS✔-an experimental design in which the participants do
not know the hypothesis being tested or whether they are, for example, receiving
an experimental treatment or a placebo
\.Classical conditioning - ANSWERS✔-A type of learning in which the organism
learns to respond to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly
presented along with a biologically significant stimulus; also called Pavlovian
conditioning.
\.Cognitive Approach - ANSWERS✔-A subfield of psychology that emphasizes
higher mental activities, such as language, memory, and perception.
, \.cognitive map - ANSWERS✔-An internal psychological representation of the
spatial layout of the external world.
\.Connectionist models - ANSWERS✔-Models that represent learning and other
thought processes as networks of connections between simple processing units
called nodes.
\.Contiguity - ANSWERS✔-Nearness in time (temporal contiguity) or space (spatial
contiguity).
\.Data - ANSWERS✔-Facts and figures from which conclusions can be inferred.
\.Dependent variable - ANSWERS✔-In an experiment, the factor whose change is
measured as an effect of changes in the independent variable.
\.Distributed representation - ANSWERS✔-A representation in which information
is coded as a pattern of activation distributed across many different nodes.
\.Double-blind design - ANSWERS✔-An experimental design in which neither the
experimenters nor the subjects know group assignment.
\.Dualism - ANSWERS✔-The principle that the mind and body exist as separate
entities.
