Document Summary
Try to focus more on how each psychologist explained behavior as opposed to their names; think about their theories, the reasoning, and the experiments they did. Hmwk: ch. 2 p. 48-68 (read everything on each page, everything is fair game for exams/tests) Read it once, make an outline, then highlight: make summary notes (shouldn"t be the same as content as you read, don"t copy the book, make up test questions. Last time: 3 levels of analysis biological, psychological, cultural. Very observable, very upfront and can be tested. (psychodynamic is more about the abstract mind) How can environmental factors affect behavior? (environments that induce fear, reward, etc. ) Use consequences to change behavior, or even use rewards to promote good behavior. Focuses on perception and experience (on an individual level) Wants to understand how people remember, how do people think, their learning history. Look at how people think and remember, and considers everything in an individual context.
