Document Summary
Defense mechanism a coping technique to reduce stress and anxiety. Psychoanalytic = theory of personality that emphasis childhood and the effects of later adulthood (narrowly applies to freud) Psychodynamic = theory of personality that emphasis unconscious forces and conflicts(widely applies to many theorists, including freud) Believe we have an active unconscious mind developed in childhood. Vicarious reinforcement increase in behaviour because you witness that someone else"s behaviour is reinforced/increased. Discriminative stimuli stimuli that inform you about whether or not you will be reinforced for a specific behaviour. Wants things that are not neccessary for survival, but you want them. Frequency how many waves occur in a given time. Amplitude (high/low) the eight of the wave. High frequency + low amplitude = wakefulness, like a buzz. Like a dream that we are aware of. Movement of the eyes: psychological characteristics. The only differences between 3 and four, is the number of delta waves. Debate wether anything happens in stage four.
