Question 1

psychology

Answer 1

science of behavior and mental processes

Question 2

behavior

Answer 2

anything and organism does

Question 3

Answer 3

the internal, subjective experiences we infer from behavior

Question 4

What is the behavioral perspective and what does it study?

Answer 4

how we learn observable responses, try to figure out what might trigger for example anger, how do we learn to fear particular objects or situations

What is the Biological perspective and what does it study?

Answer 5

how the body and brain enable emotions, memories and sensory experiences. study how physical is connected with mental such as how do pin messages travel from hand to brain

What is correlation?

Answer 29

a connection between two or more things

correlation coefficent?

Answer 30

help us figure how closely two things very together, and thus how well either one predicts the other

Question 31

scatterplot?

Answer 31

a graphed cluster of dots, each representing the values of the two variables, amount of scatter suggests the strength of the correlation (little scatter indicates high correlation)

Question 32

Experiments enable researchers to isolate the effects of one or more variables by doing what?

Answer 32

1. manipulating the variables of interest and 2. holding constant ("controlling") other variables

Question 33

experimental group does what?

Answer 33

receive treatment

Question 34

control group does what?

Answer 34

not receive the treatment

Question 35

what is random assignment?

Answer 35

assigning participants to experimental and control groups by chance so there are not preexisting differences between the groups

Question 36

What is a double blind procedure?

Answer 36

when neither the participants nor the research assistants who administer the drug and collect data will know which group is receiving the treatment

Question 37

What is independent variable?

Answer 37

the cause of something, the variable who's effect is being study so the people are bing studied they are the independent variable

Question 38

What is confounding variable

Answer 38

a factor other than the thing be tested that could have an effect in an experiment

Question 39

What is dependent variable

Answer 39

the outcome

Question 40

Descriptive method of research?

Answer 40

to observe and record behavior

Question 41

correlational method of research

Answer 41

to detect naturally occuring relationships; to asses how one variable predicts the other

Question 42

experimental research method

Answer 42

to explore cause and effect
