Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. There are three main types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information is encoded through the senses and either quickly decays or is transferred to short-term memory. Short-term memory has limited capacity and relies on rehearsal for information to be transferred to long-term memory, where it can last a lifetime. There are different ways information can be forgotten, such as through passive decay, retrieval failure, or neurological damage.
This document defines key concepts in research methods including variables, hypotheses, sampling, measurement, surveys, experiments, and ethical guidelines. It discusses the difference between independent and dependent variables, how to ensure reliability and validity in measures, principles of random sampling and generalizability. It also outlines different research designs like descriptive studies, correlational research, and experiments, noting their strengths and limitations.
The document discusses various aspects of cognition, intelligence, problem solving, creativity and action. It defines cognition as mental activities associated with thinking, knowing and remembering. It also examines different types of intelligence tests, problem solving techniques, the nature of creativity and factors that influence decision making. The document provides an overview of key concepts and issues relating to cognition, intelligence, problem solving and decision making.
The document discusses motivation, emotion, and stress. It defines motivation as needs or desires that prompt action and direct behavior. It discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It also discusses the limbic system's role in emotion, theories of emotion, positive and negative affect, and emotion regulation. Finally, it defines stress and discusses its physiological effects, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosomatic disorders, and hypochondria.
