The document provides examples of various psychological concepts through pictures with descriptions. It includes examples of basic research, applied research, naturalistic observation, case studies, and various biological systems like the sympathetic nervous system. It also includes examples of concepts like change blindness, dissociation, schemas, object permanence, thresholds, priming, processing styles, sensory systems, learning theories, intelligence testing, reliability and validity, motivation, homeostasis, emotion theories, types of personalities, social influences, and components of personality.

2. Basic Research
This picture shows my mom reading
the newspaper. This is an example of
basic research because she is learning
new information for enjoyment and it
will not be used for any specific
purpose.

3. Applied Research
This picture shows my sister doing a research paper
A research paper is an example of applied research
because the knowledge she gains is being put to use
and applied.

4. Naturalistic Observation
This is a picture of a
squirrel in it’s natural
habitat where the
observer is not
altering or controlling
any part of it’s
environment.

5. Case Study
This is a picture of my cousin, who has a
mental disability. However, she has no
specific diagnosis because her symptoms did
not match with any other disorder. She has
been experimented on using a case study
because her condition does not fit in with
other people’s.

6. Sympathetic Nervous
System
This picture
represents the
sympathetic
nervous system
because all of the
people lined up to
start running
needed it to get
their adrenaline
pumping.

7. Parasympathetic Nervous
System
After running in the race, this
girl’s parasympathetic nervous
system is working to calm her
body and return it to
homeostasis.

8. Endocrine System
This man’s endocrine system is
working to secrete hormones
into his bloodstream that trigger
the release of epinephrine and
norepinephrine that provide a
surge of energy and allow him
to finish the race.

9. Somatic Nervous System
The somatic nervous system
controls the skeletal muscles
and is allowing my sister to
run in this race.

10. Frontal Lobes
This picture of my calendar
shows how the frontal lobes
are used in speech and
motor production, planning
and judgements.

11. Parietal Lobes
This picture represents how
the parietal lobes house the
sensory cortex and receive
all incoming touch and
sensory information.

12. Occipital Lobes
These sunglasses
represent how the
occipital lobes house the
areas that receive visual
information.

13. Temporal Lobes
These earphones represent how
the temporal lobes are the place in
the brain where the auditory areas
are located.

14. Change Blindness
This picture represents change
blindness because my dad got a
haircut and no one in my family
noticed until a few days later.

15. Dissociation
This picture represents dissociation
because my mom is talking on the
phone while writing information
down. Dissociation is a split in
consciousness, so some actions
can occur simultaneously.

16. Narcolepsy
This picture represents narcolepsy
because it is uncontrollable sleep
attacks, usually at times of great
excitement.

17. Inattentional Blindness
In this picture, the observer may
not notice the color of the man’s
shirt or even the man in the
background, since his or her
attention would be focused on
the dog.

18. Egocentrism
 Meg and blankets This picture represents
egocentrism because my
sister is standing in front of
the TV even though other
people want to watch also.
Egocentrism is the inability to
take another person’s view on
an issue.

19. Schema
This picture of a flower
demonstrates a schema
because if someone told me
to think of a flower, this is
what I would think of. A
schema is a general
framework that allows us to
organize information.

20. Object Permanence
This picture of my winterized pool
shows object permanence
because someone who did not
have object permanence would
think the pool disappeared when
we covered it for winter.

21. Conservation
This picture shows two glasses with
one cup of water in each. Someone
who did not understand conservation
would not know that even though the
cup on the left looks like it has more, it
really doesn’t.

22. Absolute Threshold
In a busy store, I needed to turn up the
volume on my phone because if it was
too low, I would not be able to hear it
because it would be below my
absolute threshold.

23. Priming
An example of priming would
be that if a picture of a dog was
flashed very quickly in front of a
person and then they saw a
picture of a rope and asked its
function, the person would be
more likely to say a dog leash
because they already were
thinking about dogs from the
earlier picture.

24. Bottom Up Processing
This picture shows bottom up
processing because the person is
gathering sensory information by
touching the stone that is being
sent to the brain, where the feeling
of roughness and color are being
processed.

25. Difference Threshold
These notes show how in
order for one to be different
from another, they have to
be over the difference
threshold so our ears can
detect the difference.
Otherwise, all notes would
sound the same, especially
if they were very close in
pitch.

26. Cones
This picture represents cones
because they detect all colors
and are located around the
center of the retina.

27. Rods
This picture shows that rods only
detect shades of white, black, and
gray and are located in the sides
of the retina in order to see
peripheral vision.

28. Place Theory
Due to place theory, my
sister can tell that her
phone is ringing from her
left side due to the sound
waves hitting her left ear
first.

29. Opponent- Process
Theory
The opponent process theory
says that if a person was to
stare at this brightly colored
pattern and then look away,
they would see the objects in
the opposing color. Red would
appear green, yellow would
appear blue, and white would
appear black.

30. Mirror Neurons
This picture represents mirror
neurons because my dad is
smiling and drinking a coffee.
Some neurons of people who
see him will light up as if they
are smiling and drinking
coffee also.

31. Generalization
This picture of stuffed animals
shows how my dog started off
having dog toys, then she could not
tell the difference between her toys
and our toys. So, she began playing
with them all.

32. Spontaneous Recovery
After an entire week of waking
up at 10 during vacation
week, I woke up at 6:07 on
Friday due to spontaneous
recovery of my normal routine
of waking up at 6:24.

33. Classical Conditioning
We have classically conditioned
my dog by feeding her everyday
at the same time, so that when it
is 2 o’clock in the afternoon, she
stands by her food bowl.

34. Fixed- Ratio Schedule
This picture of my dog shows how
a fixed ratio schedule is when a
response is reinforced after a
specific number of responses. In
this case, every time my dog
comes inside we give her a treat.

35. Variable- Ratio Schedule
This picture shows that when applying to
colleges, students apply to a number of
colleges and after a random number of
applications, they will get into a college.

36. Fixed- Interval Schedule
My alarm clock represents a fixed
interval schedule because after it
rings the first time in the morning
and I hit snooze, it will ring at ten
minute intervals.

37. Variable- Interval Schedule
This weather prediction is an
example of a variable interval
schedule because it shows how a
rainy day will happen after no
specific amount of time.

38. Source Amnesia
This letter without a return address
represents source amnesia
because I forget where the
information came from, just like if I
was suffering from source amnesia,
I would misattribute the information
to where I learned it from.

39. Recall
This fill in question represents
recall because the test taker has to
think of the correct answer from
memory.

40. Recodnition
This multiple choice question
shows recondition because the
test taker simply has to recognize
the correct answer.

41. Serial Position Effect
If I had to remember the items, I
would probably only remember the
first and last items because they
would stand out most due to the
Serial Position Effect.

42. Savant Syndrome
This picture represents savant
syndrome because it is when
someone has a limited mental
ability in all areas except one.
In this case, my dog is skilled at
writing letters.

43. G – General Intelligence
This game of Monopoly
applies to G, or general
intelligence. G underlies
all mental abilities,
therefore all thinking in
math and logic used to
play this game would first
require general
intelligence.

44. WAIS
This game, “Apples to Apples”,
requires similar skills to those that
are tested using the WAIS. The
WAIS tests both verbal and
nonverbal ability, which are put to
use by matching nouns and
adjectives and competing against the
person’s opponents.

45. Stanford- Binet
This Tale of Two Cities project
shows how the Stanford- Binet
intelligence test was the
American revised version of the
test that Binet created in
France. In this case, the
Americans were modeling their
project after the French.
However, in the French
Revolution the French based
their motives off the success of
the Americans.

46. Test- Retest
This picture shows test- retest because it is the second time
I am taking them, so I can measure the results from the first
test to the second to measure reliability.

47. Reliability
This test would not be
considered reliable, since
some students scored very
high and others did not. If
someone preformed a split
test check, the two halves
would not be consistent.

48. Standardization
This picture is of the
SAT’s because the
scores of each
student’s SAT’s are
compared with a
pretested group to
define the scores.

49. Validity
This anatomy test has
questions about the correct
chapter and information that
we learned, so it would be
considered valid, since it is
testing what it is supposed to.

50. Flow
This picture of a Celtic’s
basketball game shows
flow because all of the
players are so good at the
game that when they play,
they experience a sense
of loss of awareness of
self and time, so that their
skills are at the best they
can be.

51. Set Point
This picture
represents set point
because it shows
where each
person’s body is
comfortable and
their metabolic rate
is balanced.

52. Incentive
While running, a person is overcome
with the thirst drive, which is an
incentive. This will motivate him to
keep running to get to the finish to
have water.

53. Homeostasis
Just as she is balancing to stretch,
homeostasis is an internal balance
of chemicals and hormones to
insure proper bodily functioning.

54. James Lange TOE
This picture of my paper cut
represents the James Lange
Theory of Emotion because I felt
the stinging sensation in my
finger, which produced a feeling
of pain.

55. Cannon Bard TOE
This picture of my paper cut
represents the cannon- bard
theory of emotion because I
simultaneously started to bleed
and felt pain in my finger.

56. Schachter 2 Factor TOE
This picture of a paper cut
shows the Schachter two factor
theory of emotion because knew
the paper cut my skin and I said
“Ow!”, which caused a greater
feeling of pain.

57. Facial Feedback
Facial feedback allows others to tell
how another person is feeling for . For
example, in this picture, my sister is
feeling mad and confused.

58. Adaptation Level
Syndrome
I have only had the iPhone for a few
months, but now I have it I do not
think I could not live without it like I
did before, which is true to the
adaptation level syndrome.

59. Type A
This is a picture of my desk and it
shows how I would classify myself
as a type A person because I like to
be neat, hard working and driven.

60. Type B
This is my sister’s desk and she
would be considered Type B
because she is easygoing and not as
up tight and orderly.

61. Relative Deprivation
This picture represents relative
deprivation because my sister
was very happy when she got a
phone, but she does not like that
I have an iPhone and she only
had a basic phone.

62. Id
These bottles of wine represent
the id because it operates on the
pleasure principle, therefore a
person listening to his or her id
would drink the wine if they
wanted and not care about the
repercussions.

63. Superego
This water bottle represents the
superego because it is the exact
opposite of the id. The superego
follows all good judgments and a
person following his or her superego
would only drink water because it
would not cause them any harm.

64. Ego
These soda bottles represent the
ego because it mediates between
the id and the superego. It functions
on the reality principle. The soda
would taste better than water but not
be as dangerous as alcohol.

65. Spotlight Effect
This picture demonstrates the spotlight
effect because someone told her that her
hood looked funny, so for the rest of the
day she was self-conscious and thought
everyone was staring at her.
