PSYC 105 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Decision-Making, Semantic Network, Sketchpad
Document Summary
The final is 60 mc questions, should only take like an hour to do. About 15 questions will be from the other midterms, so it will heavily be weighted on unit 3. Perception is bottom-up (sketchpad image representation -> semantic network representation) Imagery is top-down (semantic network representation -> sketchpad image representation) System 1: intuition, fast, automatic frequent, the default mode. System 2: reasoning, slow, logical, calculating, comes in when decisions or actions become complex and need attention, with a feeling of concentration. Whether sys1 or sys2 is used depends on the context of the decision. How much attention and working memory are available?\ We often feel like we tend to make thoughtful reasoning and decisions, but this is an illusion. Split brain patients: have had their corpus callosum severed. They experience different sides of the world in disconnected halves of their brain. Language is in the left hemisphere, no language is in the right hemisphere.
