| heather situation: gained 20lbs, thinks about food 24/7. mom ruined household, heather was the it girl, mom would be a no show for plans. WHY the eating obsession | 1. severing of the mother-food bond, mother and daughter=almost clones, 2. attention, wants to bring mom back into picture, 3. "wrong cognition" (thinking or ideas), 4. additonal mom replacements, 5. anger/control, 6. oralcavity addiction, 7. school replicates mother figure, 8. king of an obsession. IN PHYSCOLOGY, there is not just 1 answer. |
| movie notes: sleep and dreaming | 56% of workers fall asleep 1 time a week. college students hsould get 9 hours a sleep a night. all nighters=no breain activity next day. sleep apnia-->snoring, u are up for a moment everytime u snore. in space, ur face is puffy, hard to read facial expressions, also u can float and confront eachother in diff ways. gender, cultural differences, and crew relationships=a project studied in space. little kids have a hard time distinguishing between day dreaming a truth |
| Why to we have theories? | R=behavior. to predict R, to describe R, to explain R, to control R |
| Theories we came up w/ for class: | S=subject=students. Everyone at DU smokes pot. Many S's at DU have big $...therefore, they have acess to and use drugs. Culture (usa) describe college S's still as childlike/infants. Many DU S's sacrafice mental stability 4 mental stimulation. S's experience seasonal depression. DU S's live in a bubble, not ready 4 the real world. Most S's have either ugg boots or a north face jacket. |
| constructs | a person's relation to you? |
| operational definition | anything that can be measured or observed |
| reliability | outcome of behavior can be replicated |
| DU bubble theory info: | constructs of the theory: du students, du school, bubble, real world. Bubble=same kind of buildings, finite people, places u go, routs, stylish buildings-upscale, communication-facebook, cell phone, du e-mail, close conviences close to/on campus, reltivly small school, reg. top athletes |
| what does it take to be popular? | $, clothes, pretty factor, # of friends, # people who know u, figure/fit, personality (jerk?), (jerks)=strut R. don't smile, popped coller, dont give "not pop" people the time of day |
| validity | how u really know it in the real world |
| the tighter ur measure get... | ...the farther away u get from the "real world" |
| reading scientific articles | 1. read abstract, 2. read con or diss, 3. read intro/after abstract, 4. methods, 5. anaylisis |
| the scientific method-stages of research | observations-->hypothesis to (theory to model (of reality))-->educated guess-->review past lit.--> 1. secondary lit. (psyc magazine for interested people) 2. primary lit. (wrtten by researcher 4 professionals)-->test/run--> stat anaylisis--> respond |
| Phases of research | field/naturalistic/ethnography |
| field research | collection of raw data-face to face or voice to voice contact |
| naturalistic research | observing and recording behavior in natuarlly occurring situaltions without trying to manipulate and control the situation |
| ethnography research | uses qualitative and quantitive data |
| MTV movie notes | mtv visits a fan in their home-->ethnography. studing the teenage males. they talk about what issues r on ur mind. the "mook"--> the tom green, the jack asses. research boys as customers, not people. teenage boys like wrestling. midrif theory-->women=beauty=power. does the teenager imitate the media or vise versa? |
| phases of research 1: field/naturalistic/ethnography | up+=easy, dont need to bring into lab, first hand look, authentic, not expensive. down-=no control, can only gue3ss, hard time stepping out of own bais, feedback loop, dont get actual real results |
| phases of research 2: clinical | one on one interaction, single case study. up + = controlled environmnet, truth detailed answers, get to see dnotal time, lot more data. PMD=pre menstrual dysphoria-irratablility, anxiety, low grade depression, very small sample size |
| phases of research 3: descriptive research/corrilationalresearch | wmost used in phychology. do not claim that something cuses something. relashionship among/between variables. +1.00=positive corrolation, -1.00=negative correlation, r=0=no corrolation. positive are either ascending/decending, move in same direction up up or down down move systematically. variables move systematically in opposite directions up down |
| phases of research 4: experimental (causes) | soon and soon is caused by...2 major characteristics 1 groups assigned assigned at randomtrying to cancel out one group being homogenous. 2. has to be at least one control condition (1. independend that which is the treatment (treatment and determined by experiment) must have at least 2 groups. experimental-group that gets treatment 2. control population donor get treatment) everything must constant the same except if they get treatment |
| sources of error | 1. subject error-sample is too small, pop not reprentitive, 2. confounding-->cant have 2 diff. variables, 3. placebo effect, 4. rosenthal effect (remand)-->act the way u think u should act, 5. law of instrument, 6. hawthorn effect-->zoro, 7. statistical regression--> if u do extraordinary on first test, u will do wrose on 2nd and vise versa |
| movie notes: scitzophrenia | talks about food and is confusing. sounds noraml but word connections dont make sense. relized for a second "i changed the subject, no i didnt". uses some large words, but nothing makes sense. answers question--> were u living by yourself, "yes or many years". what do u do for fun? starts good ends bad. how old r u-->says a whole thing, then says 43. keeps saying rhelm. says "socks" w/ many other words. 20-3. world backward |
| neuron | the smallest unit of behavior |
| electrochemical process | pg 40 1. reuptake SSRI selective, 2. slice and dice (slices up neurotransmitters), 3. neuregulation ABA, 4. Make it across |
| dendroids | the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron thatrecieve messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body |
| semi permiable | in resting state some can get in some cant |
| axon | the extension of a neuron, ending in braching terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neruons or to muscles or glands |
| myalith syth | fatty sheet/tissues segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next, enhance performance, |
| synapse | the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the recieving neuron. The tiny gap at theis junction is called the synapitic gap or cleft |
| neurontransmitter | chemical messengers that transverse the synaptic gaps between neurons. when released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters tavel across the synapse to bind to receptor sites on t he recieving neuron, theseby influencing whether the neuron will generate a neural impulse |
| move clip: Relapse | dopamine. neurtransmitters. alcohal produces stress, but alcohalics drink to reduce stress. many relapse. little voice makes u relapse. craving=relapse. high is like an orgasm. the first time was always the best, but u cant get as good as that first timek, but u always try to get it. feeling/emotional memories are important. synaptic clef=when u relapse |
| move: addictions | nicotine (setopholine)--> if nicotine is removed, people wont smoke it. smokes goes to lunges to heart to brain. coca, goes from blood to heart to brain (smoking it is worse for u). cocain makes more (dopamine) in the synaptic space. marajouana, THC. short term memory is affected, learning becomes distrupting |
| Movie: brain | 10 trillion cells in our brain=stars in the galaxy. learn, remember, decide. synapse, neurotransmitter, axon. brain stem-links to nerve and spinal chord. cerebellum-links balance. limbic system-temp, balance, emotions->emigdulla, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalumus. EEG, electro exeotegram. noras sleeping study part-->measuring brain electrical activity. neropeptides. mouse drugging maze. |
| writing in mirror test | learing differences (disablilites), tkaes a lot of different abilites to do this |
| learning differences | was 2%, now 15-20% have them. vaccine under significant study. food-->sugar wont cuase LD's. role of internet/online=ADD |
| major reasons for LD's | genetics, mother's who have difficult pregnancies or labors, 16 and under or 40 and over mothers, post birth dtruamma, chronic inner ear infectiosn, drugs/alcholol mothers, intracrainial infection, inhailent-->glue or paint, drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, stroke or something, malnutrion, sustained feaver |
| movie: missunderstood minds | kid loves books but couldnt read, uses memorization to cope, phonenic awareness |
| nervous system (n.s.) | n.s.-->1. CENTRAL--> brain and spinal cord, 2. PERIPHERAL--> a. somatic system, b. autonomic system--> i. symtomatic, ii. parasympathetic (calm) |
| brochus area | controls lanbguage expression-an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech |
| wernicies area | controls language reception-a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe |
| brain | for brain--> midbrain (RAS reticualar activating system)--> hindbrain (medulla-base of brainstem that controls heartbeat and breathing, pons-alterness and sleep, cerebellum-the "little brain" attached to the rear of the brainstem and it helps coordinate volunatry movement and balance) |
| forbrain | 1. cerebral cortex (the intreicate fabric of interconnected neural cells that covers the cerebral hemispheres; the boys ultimate control and information processing center), 2. basel ganglia, 3. limbic system (forms a doughtnut shpaed neural system between the brains older parts and its cerebral hemishperes. hippocampus-processes memory, amigdula-influences agression and fear, hypothalamus-hunger, thirst, body temp, sex behavior) |
| Lobes (cerebral cortex) | 1. frontal lobe (speech and language) 2. pericetal lobe (sensory integration), 3. auditory/ temporal lobe (hearing), 4. oxcipital lobe (seeing/visual) |
| action potential | when the neuron fires |
| resting state | when a neuron doesnt fire |
| stressors | catastrophies, significant life changes, diaily hastles, toxic stress (sex, assult,...) |
| emotional memory | emidula, hypothalums, thalamus, hippocampus |
| gentics | parents have anxiety, so do u |
| in post tramatic stress dissorder | fear is huge |
| 1 in 10 women will... | ... have a PTSD experince |
| 1 in 20 men will... | ... have a PTSD experince |
| u act differently w/... | ...different people, doctor, finders, teachers |
| 4 thins about memory? | 1. we need lots of social support, 2. optomist, pessamist, 3. excercize, 4. medication |
| Brain/ memory movie notes | cortex. a mere thought can triger an emotion. Paul rossin=dr. discust. plates of discusting food to young people. cockroach in the apple juice. interior insula-->part of brain that works hard when u feel discust. limbic system--> fear, stress, exceltra. vietnam PTSD. hopelessness, suicidal, repetitive replays, nightmares. imigdula-->fear imediate. 2 way fear brain sesponse systems. hippocampus-->memory. constant terror can change the structure of your brain |
