Parts of the limbic system Hypothalamus: hunger, thirst, body temperature Amygdala: fear and aggression, threat detection center Hippocampus: new memories (explicit) Famous for his theory on multiple intelligence; Identified at least 8 Howard Gardner Intelligence proposed by Charles Spearman; A common level of intelligence that underlies all of our intelligence behavior General (g) intelligence What is emotional intelligence? The ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions Proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence Robert Sternberg; Analytical, creative, and practical intelligences List Gardner’s intelligence types Linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodilykinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist The three measures of central tendency Mean, median, and mode What is the range of the following score distribution: 5, 10, 20, 30 25 In a normal curve, where are the mean, median, and mode located? In the middle! For IQ, would be 100 A measure of how tightly clustered a group of scores is around their mean; Square root of variance Standard Deviation What is a z score? Used to compare scores from different distributions; Converts scores into distance standard deviation “points” Type of research in which humans or animals are studied in their natural context Naturalistic observation Studies one individual in depth through tests, interviews, observations Case Study In using surveys, a representative sample is one that is… Representative of your entire population Name that type of research. Comparing hours slept per night and GPA Correlational What is the difference between a longitudinal study and a cross sectional study? Longitudinal: same group over time Cross sectional: studying same thing in different age groups Group of psychologists who stressed that the whole is different than the sum of its parts; Studied organizational principles Gestalt The understanding that an object’s shape remains the same even though the angle of view makes the shape appear changed Size constancy What is relative size? Smaller objects are further away, larger objects are clower Appearance of motion created by lights turning off and on in a sequence Phi Phenomenon Name and explain your two binocular depth cues Convergence: tension in eyes increase as objects come closer Retinal disparity: slightly different image projected onto the retina due to the separation of your eyes Machine used to measure sleep waves EEG Body rhythm that occur on a 24 hour cycle Circadian rhythms What are sleep spindles? Bursts of activity that occur during Stage 2 Cluster of neurons in the hypothalamus that receive information from the retina about light Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Chemicals involved in sleep Adenosine: triggers sleepiness Melatonin: High levels help us get ready for sleep
