12 WEEK COMP REVIEW (PROLOGUE-CH. 13) UNIT ONE: RESEARCH, NEUROSCIENCE, & GENETICS (PRO.-CH. 3) Random sample: sample that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion. Hindsight bias: the tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it. (Also known as the I-knew-it-all along phenomenon.) The false consensus effect: the tendency to overestimate the extent to which others share our beliefs and behaviors. Survey research: a technique for ascertaining the self-reported attitudes or behaviors of people, usually by questioning a representative, random sample of them.

(Records brain waves) Electromypograph (EMG) - records muscular activity and tension Electrooculograph (EOG) - records eye movements

Chapter 6 Study Guide: Learning Ivan Pavlov: A prominent Russian psychologist that first described the process of classical conditioning. He made his discovery while he was studying the role of saliva in the digestive processes of dogs. He was the ?Meat powder ? Ring of Bell ? Salivate? researcher. Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning: A type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally evoked by another stimulus (Example: The bell replaces the meat powder as a stimulus for salivating.) [Responses elicited = involuntary] UCS: A stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response without previous conditioning. (Example: Meat Powder)

Unit 6 ? Learning How Do We Learn? Learning is defined as ?a relatively permanent behavior change due to experience.? Associative learning is learning certain events that occur together. Conditioning is the process of learning associations. In classical conditioning, we learn to associate two stimuli in order to anticipate events, for instance wincing after lighting in anticipation of thunder. In operant conditioning, we learn to associate our behavior and its consequence and thus to repeat acts followed by good results and avoid acts followed by bad results. For example, a cat who receives a treat after performing an action is more likely to repeat that action. 'Habituation' describes an organism's decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it.

Classical conditioning explains how a neutral stimulus can acquire the capacity to elicit a response originally evoked by another stimulus Many kinds of everyday responses are regulated through classical conditioning including phobias fears and pleasant emotional responses even physiological responses such as immune and sexual functioning respond to classical conditioning A conditioned response may be weaken and extinguished entirely when the CS is no longer paired with the UCS in some cases spontaneous recovery may occur and the extinguished response reappears after a period of nonexposure
