EXAM 3 Study Guide
NOTE: Chapters 5, 6, 7 will be on the exam.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE READY FOR THE TEST IF YOU ARE ABLE TO... • Define learning. • Explain what classical conditioning is, how it works, and how it was discovered. • Describe the mechanisms of operant conditioning, its application in the real world, and the researchers who contributed to our understanding of the process. • Define observational learning and describe Bandura’s classic experiments in the area of observational learning. • Introduce the study of memory including the basic processes of encoding, storage, and retrieval. • Discuss the four key characteristics of Encoding, such as attention, levels of processing, elaboration and mental imagery. • Discuss the Atkinson-Shiffrin box model of memory storage in detail including the concepts of sensory, short-term, and long-term memory. • Identify the basic mechanisms and limitations in the retrieval of information including the serial position effects. • Describe Ebbinghaus’s work on forgetting and proposed explanations for forgetting. • Identify the basic types of amnesias and the effects of hippocampal damage. • Introduce the concept of cognition, as it relates to mental images, concepts and problem solving. • Describe intelligence and creative thinking. • Discuss the measurement of intelligence including the Stanford-Binet and Wechsler intelligence tests, test construction issues, and the determination of developmental delay. • Describe several prominent theories of intelligence.
Review Outline: This is an OUTLINE!! You need to fill in the details from your notes in class.
