This document provides an overview of concepts related to problem solving, decision making, and judgment. It discusses cognition and concepts like prototypes. It then presents examples of word puzzles and brain teasers to illustrate problem solving strategies like trial and error. Cognitive biases that can interfere with problem solving are explored, such as confirmation bias, mental set, and functional fixedness. The document also examines intuition, overconfidence, heuristics like the representative and availability heuristics, and their impact on decision making and judgment.
This document shows U.S. electoral maps from 1952 to 2012, with each presidential election year labeled. It provides a visual overview of how the Republican and Democratic party strongholds have changed across different regions of the country over this 60-year period.
This document discusses topics related to psychology and behaviorism including PR, NR, PP, NP practice, Thorndike, Skinner, reinforcement, and an optional experiment due on Friday. It also mentions a reading assignment and quiz for Thursday on pages 247-256 and includes a section labeled "REVIEW" and "GROUP CHECK". Edward Thorndike and his puzzle box experiment exploring the law of effect are briefly outlined.
The document discusses concepts from B.F. Skinner's work on operant conditioning including reinforcement schedules. It defines shaping as reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired behavior. It also discusses different types of reinforcement schedules such as continuous, fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval. Delayed reinforcement is discussed in relation to the marshmallow test which found children able to delay gratification tend to be more successful.
This document discusses problems with operant conditioning techniques of rewards and punishment. It notes that rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation through overjustification and that punishment often teaches children how to avoid punishment rather than shaping behavior, causes negative emotions, may reinforce the unwanted behavior, and is usually not administered properly. The document then provides tips on using punishment effectively if at all, such as through negative punishment and reinforcing desired behavior. It introduces the concept of a TV show called Supernanny that aims to help families with behavior issues in children.
This document appears to be a list of question numbers without any accompanying text or context. It contains numbers ranging from 14 to 58, which seem to be question identifiers but without any clues as to what those questions might be about. The high-level information provided is limited to a list of numbers without any other meaningful details that could be summarized.
This document contains 20 multiple choice questions about characters and details from classic television sitcoms that debuted in the 1970s, including The Brady Bunch, Taxi, and Happy Days. It asks the reader to identify character names, theme songs, locations and other key elements to demonstrate their knowledge about these popular shows from the 1970s.
The document defines key terms related to the endocrine system: the endocrine system communicates through chemical messengers called hormones secreted into the bloodstream by glands; the adrenal glands above the kidneys secrete hormones like epinephrine that arouse the body during stress; and the pituitary gland, most influential endocrine gland, regulates growth and controls other glands under the influence of the hypothalamus.
The document appears to be a series of questions about brain structures and functions with the correct answers provided. Some of the structures and concepts mentioned include:
- Reticular formation, which controls alertness, breathing, and heart rate
- Medulla, which controls breathing and heart rate
- Cerebellum, which is important for motor control like balance
- Hippocampus, which is involved in short-term memory
- Amygdala, which controls aggression and fear responses
- Various brain imaging techniques like EEG, CT scans, PET scans, MRI, and fMRI.
The document discusses the basic components and functions of neurons, including dendrites, the cell body, axon, neurotransmitters, and action potentials. It also covers the divisions of the nervous system such as the somatic nervous system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Key areas of the brain and their functions are identified like the cerebral cortex, occipital, temporal, parietal and frontal lobes. Common neurotransmitters are named including glutamate and acetylcholine.
The document provides definitions and examples for key concepts in social psychology, including stereotypes, norms, roles, acculturation, the implicit association test, studies by Milgram, Bandura, Zimbardo, Asch, and Sherif, and concepts like groupthink, deindividuation, the chameleon effect, social influences, social facilitation, social loafing, the bystander effect, group polarization, attribution biases, and the just world hypothesis.
The document discusses various concepts from social psychology, including:
- In-group bias and ethnocentrism as tendencies to favor one's own group.
- Stereotypes as overgeneralized beliefs about groups.
- Scapegoating as blaming others to deflect anger or responsibility.
- Persuasion techniques like the foot-in-the-door phenomenon and door-in-the-face.
- Types of love like passionate and companionate love.

The document lists current leadership positions in the House and Senate, including Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader, and Mitch McConnell as Senate Minority Leader. It also discusses different types of constitutional powers and defines gerrymandering as drawing districts to favor one political party. It notes that Thomas Jefferson supported a strict interpretation granting only expressed and necessary implied powers to Congress, while Alexander Hamilton favored a liberal interpretation allowing for a powerful government.
Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998) were both impeached by the House but acquitted in their Senate trials. Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before the full House could vote on his impeachment, which was very likely.
The document discusses the early history of political parties in the United States, including the Federalists versus the Anti-Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans versus the Democrats. It then summarizes the major political parties from the 1800s to the 1960s, including the Democrats, Republicans, and key symbols and supporters for each party.
The document outlines differing viewpoints between liberals and conservatives on several political issues. Liberals are criticized by conservatives for creating a welfare state that discourages work and wastes money. Conservatives are criticized by liberals for being heartless and overly concerned with the status quo, business interests, and gun rights over social programs. Both sides accuse the other of imbalanced priorities on domestic spending, criminal justice, the environment, and other issues.
The document discusses the key concepts of what constitutes a state and government. It explains that a state requires a population, territory, and sovereignty (supreme power within its boundaries). A government is the institution through which a society makes and enforces public policies. The document then reviews several theories for how governments came into existence, such as through force, evolution from simpler groups, divine right of rulers, or social contract theory. It also outlines different ways of classifying governments, such as by participation (democracy vs dictatorship), distribution of power (unitary vs federal), and relationship between legislative and executive branches (presidential vs parliamentary).
