Foundations of Psych Exam 2

Theory of motivation that unmet biological drives lead to unpleasant sensations that motivate one to meet those needs

The most basic need in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Desire that stimulates and steers behavior

Type of memory in which processing is done on briefly held information

Examples of this type of motivation may include receiving pay for a performed behavior

The 'highest' need on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Which of the following are needed for effective punishment?

A type of reinforcement that involves removing something undesirable

Reinforcement inconsistently comes when you perform the behavior an unpredictable number of times

The desire to perform a behavior because the behavior itself is rewarding

Memory of which one is not consciously aware of

The label that one assigns to one's bodily reaction determines your mental reaction

The neutral stimulus develops into:

Reinforcement comes when you perform the behavior after an unpredictable amount of time passes

Theory of motivation that the strongest and healthiest motivations come from within that person

A specific technique or strategy that is deliberately used to enhance memory

Emotions are:

The process of taking in information, saving it over time, and calling it to mind later

Which of the following are not part of the three steps of memory

Adding meaning or associations to information to enhance memory

A form of learning that focuses on the consequences of behavior and the likelihood of reoccurring behavior

Type of memory that is seemingly limitless

Information repeated in exactly the same form as it was originally encoded

Reinforcement consistently comes when you perform the behavior a predictable number of times

An example of this type of processing would be verbally repeating material over and over

A type of learning when there is a connection between two stimuli that occur together such that one predicts the other

Being able to retrieve information when presented with a list of options is an example of

Ways, that are supported by research, to increase positive emotions

Pulling information out of memory

An example of this type of memory would be the ability to briefly remember a phone number

Fully becoming the person one has the potential to become

A type of explicit memory

The learning process by which stimuli are different from the conditioned stimulus

According to the misinformation effect, human memory is often revised

Theory of motivation that humans, like all other animals are motivated primarily through instincts

Theory of motivation that humans are motivated to obtain and maintain an optimal level of attentiveness

Reminders that facilitate the retrieval of information from memory

Reinforcement consistently comes when you perform the behavior after a predictable amount of time passes

Grouping pieces of information together in a meaningful way to enhance memory

Person experiences emotion by noticing bodily changes first and then interpreting them as particular feelings

A type of reinforcement that involves giving something desirable

When the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus due to its link to the conditioned response

When the conditioned stimulus no longer predicts an unconditioned stimulus

The learning process by which stimuli are similar to the conditioned stimulus and cause the same conditioned response

After a period of inactivity, the conditioned response which had been extinct comes back

Person experiences emotions by simultaneously becoming aware of bodily changes and feelings
