Compare and contrast structuralism and functionalism.

1) While structuralism focused on understanding the conscious experience, functionalism focused on how mental activities helped an organism adapt to its environment.

William James was a functionalist: Functionalism focused on how mental activities served as adaptive responses to an organism's environment. Like Wundt, James also relied on introspection; however, James's research approach also incorporated more objective measures. OR 2) In psychology there are various defining branches which have led to the current psychology we know today. Within it; two of the first we learned about were structuralism and functionalism. Structuralism was founded by Wilhelm Wundt, who tried to understand our conscious experience through introspection however, this branch of psychology is deemed un-quantifiable. Functionalism on the hand, founded by William James, is the functionality of the cognitive process. He tried to show how our traits had a function for survival.Although both scientist used introspection Wundt's process was less objective than James and therefore was said to be substantial.

Compare and contrast case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation, giving an example of each.

In psychology we have many different types of way to conduct research. One of the three main ways to conduct research is by doing case studies which usually focus on one individual of an extreme psychological circumstance which makes them stand out, such as Genie or Monnier. The second type of research that can be conducted are surveys, which are questions an individual needs to fill out used to collect large data amounts. Lastly, one of the last types of case studies we use is the naturalistic observation where we observe behavior in a natural setting.

Describe the Strange Situation experiment.

Mary Ainsworth wanted to know if children differ in the ways they bond, and if so, why. To find the answers, she used the Strange Situation procedure to study attachment between mothers and their infants. In the Strange Situation, the mother (or primary caregiver) and the infant (age 12-18 months) are placed in a room together. There are toys in the room, and the caregiver and child spend some time alone in the room. After the child has had time to explore her surroundings, a stranger enters the room. The mother then leaves her baby with the stranger. After a few minutes, she returns to comfort her child. Based on how the infants/toddlers responded to the separation and reunion, Ainsworth identified three types of parent-child attachments: secure, avoidant, and resistant. OR The strange situation was done because Ainsworth wanted to know if children differed in the way they bonded. So she studied the attachment between mothers and their children.

After the child gets a chance to explore the room Ainsworth had a stranger enter the room.The mother/caregiver then leaves the child with the stranger. She will then return to comfort the child.

Compare and contrast the James-Lange, the Cannon-Bard, and the Schachter-Singer two-factor theories of emotions.

The James-Lange theory of emotion asserts that emotions arise from physiological arousal. According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, you would only experience a feeling of fear after this physiological arousal had taken place. The Cannon-Bard theory indicates that physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously, yet independently. This emotional reaction would be separate and independent of the physiological arousal, even though they co-occur. The Schachter-Singer two-factor theoryof emotion is another variation on theories of emotions that takes into account both physiological arousal and the emotional experience. According to this theory, emotions are composed of two factors: physiological and cognitive. In other words, physiological arousal is interpreted in context to produce the emotional experience. OR James Lange theory of emotions enforce the fact that emotions arise from physiological arousal.This means for example you wouldn't feel fear until after this had taken place.On the other hand the Cannon-Bard theory states the the physiological and emotional experience have simultaneously, together but seperate. The Schachter Singer two factor theory of emotion also takes into account physiological and emotional experience.This theory states that emotions are compose of two factors the physiological factor and the cognitive factor.The physiological arousal is interpreted in context to produce the emotional experience.

Cooper trains his boyfriend Patrick to avoid eating cake every day by squirting him with a water pistol every time he sees Patrick moving toward a cake. Eventually, Patrick avoids cakes altogether.

Describe how visual information is processed in parallel pathways.

Visual information might be processed in parallel pathways that can generally be described as the "what pathway" and the "where/how pathway." The "what pathway" is involved in object recognition and identification, the "where/how pathway" is involved in location in space and how one might interact with a particular visual stimulus. For example, when you see a ball rolling down the street, the "what pathway" identifies what the object is, and the "where/how pathway" identifies its location or movement in space. OR A way that visual information may be processed in a parallel pathway is two pathways: the "what" pathway and the "where/how" pathway.The "what" pathway is used to recognize and identify things in our daily lives while the "where/how" pathway is used in location of space and how we interact with a certain visual stimulus. An example would be when we see a fast blur speed down the road our "what" pathway will identify that object as a car or motorcycle and our "where/how" pathway will identify the location or movement in space which would be west to east on the road ( in this example).

Explain the difference between a fixed interval reinforcement schedule and a fixed ratio reinforcement schedule.

When using a fixed interval reinforcement schedule, behavior is rewarded after a set amount of time. When using a fixed ratio reinforcement schedule, a predetermined number of responses must occur before a behavior is rewarded. The difference is when the reward occurs: after a specific time period versus after a certain number of responses. OR A fixed interval reinforcement schedule is behavior that is rewarded after a set amount of time. However, when we use a fixed ratio reinforcement schedule a predetermined number of responses that must happen before the behavior is rewarded. The difference is when the reward occurs, one occurs after a specific time period and the second one occurs after a certain number of responses is achieved.
