Sensorimotor (0-2 years) Object permanence, stranger anxiety Jean Piaget’s theory of Cognitive Development Self-fulfilling Prophecy - Your actions guide you to a preconceived result. Mental Set - is the tendency to approach a problem in a specific way, typically in a way that has worked in the past. Self-Serving Bias - a readiness to perceive oneself favorably.Ībsolute Threshold - Minimum level of strength that must be met for something to be perceptible. Reciprocal Determinism - when Ali is mean which makes me mad which makes Ali meaner which makes me more mad. S are separated into 5 axis? Yeah, I believe so.

Latent Learning - learning that becomes apparent only when there is some incentive to demonstrate it.ĭSM-IV has 5 axis? axises? axiis? axes? I don’t know. Law of Effect - I think that this is the theory that actions followed by punishment will not be repeated and those followed by reward will be. Transduction - the transformation of stimulus energy into neural messages. Gestalt - “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Easy enough. Iconic Memory - a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli a photographic or picture-image memory lasting no more than few tenths of a second.įlashbulb Memory - a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or event. Semantic Memory - It’s the memory of meanings. We’re going with Cerebellum.Įpisodic Memory - When you remember a specific instance or event.not relating to heightened emotional awareness Part of explicit memory (because ali is very fastidious). ok In that case, I think it’s cerebellum, but it’s hard to tell. Is it cerebellum? I believe so.but look it up. Thalamus - “Sensory switchboard” (as Alison calls it) - responsible for all senses except smell. Hippocampus - contains declarative or explicit memory. Hypothalamus - in charge of eating, drinking, and body temperature. Can’t fixation also be focusing on a certain Psychosexual stage? Yes.Īgonist - a drug that acts in place of (mimics) a natural neurotransmitter causing a natural response.Īntagonist - a drug that blocks a natural neurotransmitter eliminating a normal response. Exactly.įixation - the inability to see a problem from a new perspective an impediment to problem solving. I think there was actually a certain disorder that had lethargy. (A sound in perceived not only by the hearing sense but also by sight.)Īvolition - lack of motivation? I mean, “a” is without and “volition” means will or motivation. Synesthesia - a condition in which sensations are simultaneously perceived by more than one sense. Humanistic Perspective - focuses on the positive attributes of humans.

Patients are virtually responsible for fixing their own problems.

Representativeness Heuristic - judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match, particular prototypes may lead one to ignore other relevant information.Ĭlient Centered Therapy - a method of therapy where patients are not asked leading questions or given proposed treatments. Retroactive Interference - New information interferes with old information.Īvailabiltiy Heuristic - estimating the likelihood of events based on their av ailability in memory if instances come readily to mind (perhaps because of their vividness), we presume such events are common. Proactive Interference - Old information interferes with new information. The results can be explained by postural control laws based on both optical expansion and motion parallax, yielding biases in planar environments that truncate parallax.Weber’s Law - the principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage (rather than a constant amount). When the treadmill was turned 90 degrees to the hallway, both the anisotropy and flattening were reversed (AP > lateral), indicating that they are determined by the visual structure of the scene. However, with the hallways, sway was anisotropic (lateral > anterior-posterior ), and diagonal responses were flattened into the lateral plane. With the wall, sway amplitude was isotropic and directionally specific in all conditions. A superimposed oscillation specified postural sway in 6 possible directions. Displays simulated locomotion down a stationary hallway, a hallway that traveled with the observer, or a frontal wall that traveled with the observer. Three experiments examined the functional specificity of visually controlled posture during locomotion by presenting large-screen displays to participants walking on a treadmill.
