1. Complete the “Warm up” @ 4:44


A: Dopamine, an influx of dopamine can lead to the development of Schizophrenia.
The higher the neurotransmitter level, the increase of intensity of the symptoms.
B: The independent variable is the amount of the new drug.
The dependent variable is the relationship between the level of the neurotransmitter and the number
of positive symptoms.
This isn’t a true experiment because all of the participants were given the treatment, therefore there
was not a control group.

2. What was the trick Ms. Fenton used to remember Independent and dependent variables?
Think of the situation as an “If, then” statement. Whatever comes after the “if” is the independent
variable, and whatever comes after the “then” is the dependent variable.

3. Complete the Check for understanding @ 16:25


Ex 1. Functionalism
Ex.2 Gestalt
Ex.3 Psychoanalytic X  Structuralism

4. Fill in the components of CC using the Baby Albert @ 20:13. Explain why each one fits.
UCS is the loud noise because it’s a sound that has not been associated with anything.
UCR is the fear of the sound, because Baby Albert is fearful of the loud noise.
NS is the white rat because the white rat is a separate stimulus from all things in its environment.
CS is the white rat because the white rat has been associated with the loud sound.
CR is the fear from the white rat. The child now associates the loud sound it’s afraid of with the white
rat, resulting in a fear of the rat.

5. Fill in 3 names to each on the Theorists to Approaches@ 27:53


Psychodynamic Sigmund Freud, Eric Erikson, Alder

SODAS Space, Order, Define, Apply, Synonyms

The Early Behaviorism Approach is a theory that explains that behaviors are learned through
associations. This theory would suggest that Ava has associated the disturbance of her peers and
teachers with an event that has caused her distress, such as the betrayal of a friend, or the ignorance
of a teacher.

The Humanistic Approach is a theory that behaviors are influenced by the fact that humans wish to do
good and try to reach their full potential through free will. This theory would suggest that Ava’s
struggle to maintain a good relationship is due to the possibility of them halting her success in life.
Since she wants to be a successful person, she assumes that those who interact with her stop her
from obtaining that success, preventing a good relationship with them.

The Cognitive Approach is a theory that explains that behaviors and mental processes are influenced
by thoughts, attitudes, memories, and expectations. This theory would suggest that her inability to
maintain a good relationship with her teachers and peers is due to either intrusive thoughts of others
causing her distress, a healthy attitude toward them while attempting to obtain a relationship,
memories of poor relationships in the past, and those people not meeting her expectation of a good
relationship.

The Biological Approach is a theory that explains behaviors and mental processes through the
influences of differences and changes in the neural system. This theory would suggest that an
imbalance of chemicals in her neural system are resulting in her inability to maintain a healthy
relationship with her peers and teachers.
