PSYB45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Classical Conditioning, Stress Management, Operant Conditioning
Document Summary
York university study found that multi-tasking with a laptop during lecture is distracting to you and your peers learning (because they can see your screen at any given time). Taking notes by hand is mightier than typing your notes because it goes through possibly more deeper processing. Overt behaviours: are visible to others, can be easily observed and recorded by others. Covert behaviours: private, internal, cannot be easily observed by others (e. g, feelings and thoughts). Frequency: how often it occurs in a given period of time. Intensity of force: example) how hard or how fast you kicked the ball. In behaviour modification approach, it is important to be precise when describing behaviours and behavioural problems. Focus on the behaviours themselves, not labelling the person as the problem. Behaviour deficits: too little of a particular type of a behaviour. Behaviour excesses: too much of a particular behaviour (a behaviour we wish to do less of).
