Impersonality: Unbiased manner, equal, professional treatment Alienation, discourage loyalty, those in charge=cold 5. Employment based on technical qualifications: Meritocracy, not favoritism Decreases discrimination Decreases ambition, only do what's necessary to get job and nothing more Peter principle: Every employee keeps promoted until reach incompetence (can't handle the position), not good enough at job to get promoted any further Selection is based on performance on current role, not expected performance in future role, so stop getting promoted once can't do the job anymore

Monoamines usually epi and dop. Excitatory on CNS, so increase monoamines=stimulus, decrease sleep, increased latency to sleep
Modernization
More info available to public, less religion
Partial reinforcement schedule is better why
More resistant to extinction than continuous reinforcement, continuous reinforcement becomes less reinforcing over time
Secondary deviance
More serious consequences, stigmatizing label, severe negative reaction to it You take steroids but whole team doesn't take steroids, they treat you like cheater

No, present
What are the slow receptors
Nociception and thermoception Small diameter axons
Gate control theory of olfaction
Nociception theory. Non-painful input closes gate to painful input, so pain sensation can't ravel to CNS Fast blocks slow
Timing of somatosensation
Non adapting: AP fires at constant rate, throughout time stimulus is applied Slow-adapting: Neuron fires at beginning of stimulus, slowly calms down/adapts (Tonic receptors) Fast-adapting: Neuron fires at beginning of stimulus, then stops, then starts firing when stimulus stops (Phasic receptors0

Advanced stage: Wide spread neuronal loss, lewy body depositions throughout cortex Lewy Body Disease: Mostly cognitive issues, less abnormalities from basal ganglia dysfunction, seaprate from parkinson's
Obedience
Obey orders/follow orders/obey authority, no cognitive component Positive; Firefighter says don't enter building Negative: Holocaust
Sensitization
Often causes whole class of stimuli to be enhanced as well. Repetition of painful stimulus may make one more responsive to loud noise
Disengagement Theory
Older adults and society separate, become more absorbed as they age, separation allows for self-reflection Says that elderly people still involved in society are not adjusting well Aging is inevitable, mutaul withdrawl/disengagement, decreased interaction of old person and social system he belongs to. Natural and acceptable for person to withdraw from society Opposite of activity theory Mutual withdrawal of person and society Loss of roles, dismissed from society, transfer of power from one generation to next
Olfaction
Olfactory epitehlium (olfactory sensory cells) Separtaed from brain using cribiform plate (piece of bone) Olfactory sensory cells drndrites/nerve endings have receptors on them, specific to 1 type of molecule, molecule binds, causes cell to fire, AP end up in olfactory bulb. All cells sensitive to benzene (one type of molecule) will fire to one location in olfactory bulb called glomerulus (designation point for various sensory olfactor cells that are sensitive to same molecule) Acetone glomerulus Benzene glomerulus Double benzyene glomerulus At glomerulus, receptors synapse on Mitral/tufted cell that projects to brain, Lots of olfactory sensory cells synapsing on one mitral/tufted cell, then to brain (amygdala) Molecule binds to GPCR, G-protein dissociates, binds to ion channel, depolarizes, causes AP, activates mitral/tufted cell, to amygdala, to olfactory/piriform cortex 100's of different olfactory sensory cells sensitive to particular molecules, send projections to one glomerulus corresponding to 1 type of moleucle, every one glomerulus has one mitral/tufted cell
Iron rule of oligrachy
Oligrachy: small group of people have power and control of country, organization, or institution No matter how democratic the organization is, will eventually be ruled by few people, more bureaucratic over time because conflict theory (people in power want to stay in power), also people in power maybe more intelligence, more skills, so more valuable

Optic discs
Optic discs stacked on top of each other in every rod/cone, has proteins called rhodopsins (rods) or cone opsins/photopsins (cones) In proteins, there is retinal (11-cis retinal), light hits, makes it into 11-trans retinal/a;ll-transretinal Retinal changes chape, rhodopsin changes shape 1. 11-cis retinal-->all-trans retinal in rhodopsin 2> Shape change in retinal-->shape change in rhodospin-->transducin (alpha,beta, gamma subunit) leaves rhodopsin, activated 3. Transducin alpha activates PDE 4: PDE converts cGMP to GMP 5. GMP binds to Na+ channel and closes them, so hyperpolarization, cell turned off cAMP keeps channnels open, turned on Bipolar cells: Rods turned off, on center bipolar cells active, which turns on retinal ganglion cells, sends signal to optic nerve in brain

Parietal: Somatosensory cortex: Occipital: Visual information Temporal: Auditory and olfactory
Adaptive Associations
Part of natural world, easier to learn these associations, not easy to learn associations that were not Called Adaptive associations, learned faster than ones with no biological value Ex: Phobias, develop phobias that impacted our ancestors, not ones that are dangerous to us Height, snakes, spiders, avoid food that made you sick, evolutionary advantageous to have these phobias so passed on But no phobias against cars, even though more dangerous

Third Person Effect
People think that mass media has greater effect on other people than it has on them
Continuity Theory
People try to maintain same basic structure throughout their lives overtime. As they age, people make decisions to maintain structure and use it to adapt to external changes and internal changes of aging. Older generations continue to age and adapt, society has to adapt with hem, maintain save activities, behavior, relationships, as early in life Homeostasis Older adults try to maintain same activities, behavior, relationships as they did earlier in life Life course approach Micro level, pertains to individual, functionalist, tries to stay in equilibrium/homeostasis Internal structure: Beliefs, personality, ideas remain constant External relationship: Relationships, social roles provides support for maintaining stable self concept and lifestyle

Evolutionary Game Theory
Use of mathematical models to represent complex decision making in which the actions of other group members must be taken into account. Success of an individual in the "multiplayer game" depends not only on his or her own strategy but also on the strategies and decisions of the other "players". The most successful strategies result in greater fitness and will be favored by natural selection Those best fi to environment survive, pass genes onto offspring, more common those genes Predicts traits/behaviors based on evolutionary impact on grop
