Introduction: Memories are what make us Memory: Information that is stored and has stayed over a period of time Just regular people have the ability to remember amazing things Some could remember parts of images shown 17 years earlier Information Processing Model: takes after a computer ? 3 parts Encoding: How information gets into our brain Storage: How we hold onto the information or store it like a hard drive Retrieval: How we get the information back from our brain like in computer files Connectionism: Another theory to how our memories work, which states that memories are made of interconnected neural networks, and memories are made of three stages Brief sensory memory like a quick image shown and then fading away Short-Term memory: where it?s encoded through rehearsal

A lab summary regarding the experiences of rosenweig and diamond
Subject:
Rosenweig/ Diamond lab report Problem: Does the environment of an organism affect its problem solving skills/brain activity? Hypothesis: enriched environments will yield better problem solving skill, whereas impoverished environments will yield inferior ones. Procedure: A sample group of rats will be randomly assigned to either a cage similar to that of a pet, in which toys games and ladders will be placed, or similar to that of a lab setting, a plain cage. The rats will then be subjected to a series of problem solving tests and the two groups will be compared. In addition their brain activity will be monitored.
An AP review regarding conditioning
Subject:
Tags:
Classical conditioning involves establishing a connection between two otherwise unlinked stimulations via repetition, eventually linking the stimulus so that the action happens when the stimulus occurs. This is different than operant conditioning, conditioning based upon reinforcement. This differs from classical conditioning because there is no ?middle man? for stimulus connection; the behavior is reinforced, not linked through a stimulus. Still different from the two prior is observational learning, which requires only that the individual see an action and mirror that action.
Psychology: Frontiers and Applications

Tags:
Chapter 1 ? Psychology: The Science of Behaviour Psychology - The scientific study of behaviour and the factors that influence it. Taking into account Biological, Individual and Environmental factors. Basic and Applied Science ? Two types of research:o Basic research: Knowledge gained purely for its own sake. The goals are to describe how people behave and to identify factors that influence it. Research maybe carried out in lab or real world ? e.g. Robert Cave ? Jigsaw case study - showed how competition leads to hostility but could be reduced by making them dependent on each other.o Applied research: Knowledge gained to solve specific practical problems. Uses principles discovered via basic research to solve practical problems. Goals of Psychology
