AP Psychology Introduction 1. Define psychology. the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes 2. Trace the historical development of psychology from Aristotle to John Watson. Identify major contributors and their major contribution. A lot of psycology is based in philosophy and religion with roots in Buddha, Confucious, etc. Greek philosophers are noted for psycology?s origins -- starting with Socrates (who taught plato who taught ariistotle). Aristotle loved data and turned thought into a science, ultimately leading to that which is psycology. 3. Describe psychology?s concerns regarding nature and nurture. Do human traits develop through experience vs are we born with those traits?

Module 33: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence 33-1 Genetic Influences people who share the same genes also share comparable mental abilities intelligence test scores of identical twins raised together are virtually the same brain scans indicate identical twins have the same gray matter volume adopted children?s intelligence scores become more like those of their biological parents over time and identical twins similarities continue or increase into their 80s. aka genes influence a lot. heritability ? the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied. If environments become more equal, the heritability of intelligence would INCREASE

IQ
General Factor

Intelligence Intelligence = ability to learn from experiences. But in research studies, intelligence is what intelligence tests measure. Reification: reasoning error where we view an abstract, immaterial concept as if it were a concrete thing (judging people by their IQ scores). IQ Test, Stanford-Binet Test: mental age divided by real age x 100 Intelligence is always expressed in context (medicine, music, art, warriors) Factor analysis ? a statistical method that identifies a variety of related factors in a test.

Heritability

A researcher seeking to quantify the influence of genes or environment on a trait needs to be able to separate the effects of one factor away from that of another. This kind of research often begins with attempts to calculate the heritability of a trait. Heritability quantifies the extent to which variation among individuals in a trait is due to variation in the genes those individuals carry. In animals where breeding and environments can be controlled experimentally, heritability can be determined relatively easily. Such experiments would be unethical for human research. This problem can be overcome by finding existing populations of humans that reflect the experimental setting the researcher wishes to create.
