Ballet has long been a source of national pride in Russia, as the country has produced some of the world's most famous dancers and the art form is woven into Russian history. While most ballet careers end by the late thirties, thousands of children dream of performing on stage. Tchaikovsky is the most popular Russian composer, known for his music in ballets like The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Ice hockey also grew to be a popular sport in Russia, though one of the biggest upsets in sports came when the United States hockey team defeated the favored Soviet Union team at the 1980 Olympics.

Awakenings
Oliver Sacks was a British neurologist who worked in the United States and believed the brain was incredibly complex. In the 1960s, he sought permission to treat a group of catatonic patients in a Bronx hospital with L-Dopa, a drug used for Parkinson's disease, speculating it could help their extreme rigidity. Administering L-Dopa to the patients, who had survived an 1917-1928 epidemic of encephalitis that severely reduced dopamine production, had beneficial effects and revived them from their catatonic states temporarily, as depicted in the film Awakenings based on Sacks' work.
Marshmallow test
The document discusses the relationship between self-control and future success based on the Marshmallow Experiment conducted in the 1960s by Dr. Mischel. In the experiment, 4-year old children were given a marshmallow and told they could eat it now or wait 15 minutes to receive an extra marshmallow. Follow-up studies found that children who were able to delay gratification had higher SAT scores, better grades, and healthier body weights as teenagers compared to those who immediately ate the marshmallow. Additional research with 8th graders also linked greater self-control with higher academic performance.
Ch. 13 personality lecture notes
This document discusses theories of personality from several perspectives. It begins by defining personality as characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that persist over time and across situations. It then outlines Freud's psychoanalytic theory, including the id, ego, superego, defense mechanisms, and stages of psychosexual development. It also discusses trait theories, behaviorist perspectives, humanistic theories like Carl Rogers' concept of self-actualization, and social-cognitive approaches like Albert Bandura's reciprocal determinism. The document examines various methods of assessing personality, including projective tests, self-report inventories, and the widely used MMPI.
Ch. 12: Human Emotions & Stress
There are several theories on the nature of emotions. The James-Lange theory proposes that physiological arousal precedes emotional experience. The Cannon-Bard theory argues that emotional experience and physiological arousal occur simultaneously. The two-factor theory suggests that both biological and cognitive factors interact to influence the intensity of emotional experience. Basic emotions include happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust.
Motivation
The document discusses various theories of motivation, including drives to satisfy biological needs like hunger and sex, as well as the need to belong. It covers motivations at both the biological and psychological levels, such as instincts, arousal theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and theories of work motivation. Key motivators discussed include basic drives, achievement, and belongingness.
Important women in psychology history
This document summarizes the contributions of several important female psychologists throughout history whose work was often overlooked or ignored. It describes how Anna Freud extended her father's psychoanalytic theories to child psychology, how Mamie Phipps Clark's doll experiments influenced the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, and how Mary Ainsworth developed the Strange Situation assessment of attachment in children. It also outlines the influential research of Sandra Bem, Mary Whiton Calkins, Leta Hollingworth, Karen Horney, Melanie Klein, Brenda Milner, and Susan Blackmore on gender roles, neuropsychology, psychoanalysis, and the science of memes.

Principles of classical conditioning
The document discusses classical conditioning, a form of learning. Classical conditioning occurs when a previously neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. Key terms are defined, including unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response. Classical conditioning involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus that does not naturally elicit a response with an unconditioned stimulus that reflexively produces a response, so that the formerly neutral stimulus comes to produce a learned response.
2019 AP Psych Photo contest
This document discusses forced perspective, an optical illusion technique that makes objects appear farther, closer, larger, or smaller than their actual size by manipulating scale and the viewer's vantage point. It also provides voting guidelines for selecting favorite photos from a school contest by emailing numbers of the top 3 photos to a provided email address by December 11th. The winning team of the photo contest will receive a prize.
Notes on vision
The document discusses the process of vision and how the eye works. It begins with light entering the eye and being projected onto the retina. Photoreceptors in the retina are sensitive to light and transmit visual information via the optic nerve to the brain. The brain processes this input in the visual cortex located in the occipital lobe, where features are detected through parallel processing. The key stages are gathering light entering the eye, transduction of light signals in the retina, and processing of this information in the visual areas of the brain.
Nature vs. Nurture
Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring through genes. Individuals have two genes for each trait, one from each parent. Heredity is vital for transmitting both physical traits like height and eye color as well as psychological traits such as shyness and disorders like anxiety. The document discusses genes and chromosomes, the basic units of heredity, and how they determine traits and can cause disorders if abnormal like in Down syndrome where there is an extra chromosome.
Hispanic Heritage month psychologists
George I. Sanchez was one of the first to challenge biased intelligence research and question the use of IQ tests. He founded Chicano Psychology and was the first national president of LULAC. Martha Bernal was the first woman of Mexican descent to earn a PhD in clinical psychology in the US. She pioneered the use of learning theory and methods in assessing and treating children. John Garcia conducted research showing that rats could detect and avoid radiation, and his taste aversion research changed theories of associative learning. Melba Vasquez was one of the first recipients of the APA's minority fellowship and co-founded Division 45. She became the first Latina president of the APA.
Perspectives in psychology
The document outlines six major perspectives in psychology and provides examples of how each perspective might explain the outrageous behavior of NBA player Dennis Rodman, known for cross-dressing, rapidly changing hair colors, and other stunts. The perspectives discussed are biological, evolutionary, humanistic, psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive perspectives. For each perspective, the document provides a brief example of how that perspective could interpret and explain Rodman's behavior.
