| continueous modles/stage | aa |
| concervation | understand this concept! u can change the shape of something but it remains the same ammount (clay example) |
| assimalation | First stage in the adaptation of schema, assimilation allows a child to make a general interpretation of its world. In the 'bus' example (see Organisation), once the bus schema is formed the toddler for a while calls similar vehicles buses. On being contradicted by his/her mum, and also on the basis of experience in coming across more and more types of vehicle, he/she realises that a lorry etc. isn't a bus. They begin to be more stimuli specific and use the bus schema only in relation to buses. This is accommodation, or the second stage in the adaptation of schema |
| accomidation | second stage in the adaptation of schema. In our bus example (see Organisation) accommodation occurs when the toddler forms new schema to accommodate similar stimuli to 'bus'. Such as a schema for lorries, tractors, caravans etc. What this means in a practical sense is that when the toddler sees a bus he/she says 'Bus'. A lorry, 'Lorry' etc. Accommodation helps us discriminate and make a specific interpretation of stimuli in our world. Piaget said that the process of adaptation of schema occurs because of imbalance. When we initially assimilate schema we are in a state of disequilibrium or imbalance. Our general interpretation of our world just isn't right. A lorry etc. isn't a bus! This discomfort sees us moved to accommodate the assimilated schema better. When done, we are in a state of balance, or equilibrium about the stimuli in our world |
| Paigsh's Stages | how they move and at what age? memorize order! |
| Movie notes-Development | debate become known as nature vs. nurture between these two people, Roussou and john lock, criticle periods, dishabituation, habituation, babies like more complex (toys) than simple (toys), volume-->tall glass and short glass, do objects continue to exist when hidden?, hiding big snoopy and little snoopy in big room and little room, crawling bibies crossing pleyglass clif or not crosing it, shy moonkey svs not shy monkeys, a nature and nurture combo |
| Roussou | all people are born w/ personality and skills |
| john lock | opposite belief that babies are a blank slate made by society |
| criticle periods | time when brain is set up to learn certian thins like language. what are the periods? |
| dishabituation | The recovery of an innate response that has been altered upon introduction of an extremely novel stimulus such as electric shock. Compare with sensitized, habituated. |
| habituation | is an extremely simple form of learning, in which an animal, after a period of exposure to a stimulus, stops responding |
| personality | Who you are as an individual. Personality can be seen in terms of our psyche or self. Our personality is influenced to some degree by heredity, but much more so by experience in our environment, and the situations we find ourselves in. There are two ways of looking at personality in psychology, the nomothetic view, and the idiographic view. If you take a nomothetic approach you believe peoples personality can be fitted into general, named categories, such as extrovert and introvert. The late Professor Hans Eysenck (1916-1997) took a nomothetic approach to personality. If alternatively you take an idiographic approach, you believe an individual's personality is unique. So unique that slotting us all into general categories is impossible. Carl Rogers took an idiographic view of personality, as does George Kelly with his Personal Construct Theory. See Guestbook for more interesting stuff on Kelly |
| trait | From a biological point of view a trait is a genetic or physical characteristic that a species has. A trait can also refer to a personality characteristic in psychology |
| Froidian Model | What is it? it is the same as Psychoanaltic Modle and Psycodynamic Modle |
| Foid says all behavior is driven by 2 instincts | 1. sex, 2. agression |
| concious you | is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment. It is a subject of much research in philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science. |
| unconcious you | In Freudian terms, the largest part of our mind of which we are unaware. The unconscious contains our instincts, passions, fears and traumas. These form the basis of neuroses such as hysterias, phobias, compulsions, anxieties and panic disorders |
| Structures of personality | ID, EGO, and super EGO |
| ID | driven by pleasure principle |
| EGO | reality principle, executive you |
| Super EGO | moral you/ concience |

| Psychosexual Model (unconious behavior) | 1. oral stage, 2. Anal stage, 3. Phalic Stage, 4. Latensey Stage, 5. Genital Stage |
| Oral Stage | 0-18 months, can cause fixations-->excessive drinking, sarcasm, smoleing behavior, nail biting, put things in mouth, |
| Anal Stage | 18-3.5 years, potty trianing, too strict=anal retentive behavior, too lax=anal expulsive |
| Phalic Stage | 3.5 years-grade school, castration anxiety in male (ediple complex), penis envy in female (electra complex), get through stage w/ indentification |
| Latencey Stage | (5-12 years) called the latent stage 'cos nothing much psychosexually happens during this time! Libido is dormant. psuocourtship, identification |
| Genital Stage | Is the last stage of Freud's psychosexual theory of personality development and begins in puberty. It is a time of adolescent sexual experimentation, the successful resolution of which is settling down in a loving one-to-one relationship with another in our 20's or so. |
| Ego Defences | repression, suppression, regression, displacemtn, projection, fantacy, rationalization, sublimation, reaction formation, day dreaming |
| repression | invountary forgetting |
| suppression | voluntary forgetting |
| regression | revert back to younger or lesser behavior |
| displacement | anger emotions |
| projection | spring break story-->aruba |
| fantacy | As a habitual escape, or mere replaying of painful events, fantasy is among the immature responses; however, it's well worth keeping in mind that fantasy, in the form of role-play, is also one of the ways by which children (and even adults) may safely explore strategies for coping with future challenges, and generalize healthy coping strategies. |
| rationalization | The subject claims false motives for questionable behavior, or downplays the importance of a threat with false reasoning. The classic example is Aesop's fable of the fox and the sour grapes. "Everybody does it" (steals, cheats, lies, etc.) and "it's for your own good" are common rationalized covers for uncomfortable motives. |
| sublimation | Originally restricted to the process of redirecting libido energy to other creative efforts, the term has evolved to encompass any redirection of impulse (whether positive, value-neutral, or negative, e.g. rage) to a positive effort. |
| reaction formation | feel unhappy but act happy |

| Phychosis | Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality".

| alogia | or poverty of speech, is a general lack of additional, unprompted content seen in normal speech. As a symptom, it is commonly seen in patients suffering from Schizophrenia. It can complicate psychotherapy severely because of the considerable difficulty in holding a fluent conversation. |
