Research Methods:As the search for knowledge or as any systematic investigation to establish facts.
Dependent Variable:A variable often denoted by y, whose value depends on that of another.
Independent Variable:A variable often denoted by x. whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Positive Correlation:A relationship between two variables in which both variables move in tandem.
Negative Correlation:A relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa.
Random Sample:A sample in which every element in the population has an equal chance of being selected.
Biased Sample:A sample is biased if individuals or groups from the population are not represented in the sample.
Axons:The long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell.
Dendrites: A short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Parasympathetic Nerves:Part of the involuntary nervous system that serves to slow the heart rate, increase intestinal and glandular activity, and relax the sphincter muscles.
Classic Conditioning:which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the desired response.
Operant Conditioning:is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior.
Observational Learning:The process of acquiring information by observing others. Learning to tie your shoe by observing another individual perform the task would be an example of observational learning.
Positive Reinforcement:A stimulus which increases the frequency of a particular behavior using pleasant rewards.
Shaping:This is a behavioral term that refers to gradually molding or training an organism to perform a specific response (behavior) by reinforcing any responses that are similar to the desired response.
Bell Curve:A graph of a normal (Gaussian) distribution, with a large rounded peak tapering away at each end.
Punishment:Any stimulus that represses a behavior. It is important to note that punishment is not the same as negative reinforcement.
Chunking:A very basic definition is that chunking is a way of organizing information into familiar groupings.
Recall:Recall is simply bringing a thought or idea learned previously, and thus stored in memory into conscious awareness.
Recognition:Recognition is identifying something you learned previously and is therefore stored in some manner in memory.
Reliability:Reliability refers to the extent to which a test or other instrument is consistent in its measures.
Validation:All tests are designed to measure something; hopefully something specific. If the test does indeed measure what it is intended to measure, then we can say that the test is valid (or has validity).
Free Association:This process is a Freudian (psychoanalytic) method of exploring the unconscious in which the person relaxes and says whatever comes to mind, no matter how trivial or embarrassing.
Schizophrenia:Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder, thought to be caused by imbalances in brain chemistry, which involves delusions and faulty perceptions of the world.
Transference: Transference is a phenomenon where patients undergoing clinical therapy begin to transfer their feelings of a particular person in their lives to the therapist.
PTSD:a psychological disorder where individuals suffer nightmares and other types of emotional distress from a traumatic past experience or set of experiences.
OCD:An anxiety disorder where individuals are unable to stop thinking the same thoughts or performing the same tasks over and over again.
Self Actualization:Maslow believed that there are five types of needs that motivate us in our every day lives.
Conservation: Conservation is one of Piaget's developmental accomplishments, in which the child understands that changing the form of a substance or object does not change its amount, overall volume, or mass.
Accommodation:Accommodation is the cognitive process of revising existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding so that new information can be incorporated.
