Question

what are the four stages of psychosexual developement?

Answer 1

1.Oral Stage: mouth sucking, feeding, breast-fed (anytihng in mouth) Most of 1st yr 2.Anal Stage: Anus- keeping in poop or releasing it, (in = neat, out = messy) -Elimination/retention 3.Phallic Stage: Genitals, ages3-6, - Oedipal/Electra = jealous of mom(E)/dad(O), once this resolved, u develop your superego 4.Latency Period: NOT a stage, 6-12yrs, last stage, get outta here when u get puberty

Answer 2

some ppl get thru unscatched, but if you use too much/less libido in a specific stage, you can regress or get stuck. If u were overindulged, u regress.

Answer 3

libidal arrest-get stuck at phallic stage = LGBTQ Libidinal regression: get thru, hit trauma and regress back to phallic stage

Answer 4

CURSE: because your brain is susceptible to addictions during this time cause we have experiencing “neural trimming” BLESS: because u can train ur brain to overcome disorders. Brain can grow and heal and hel overcome mental illnesses. Ex: the “wobbler lady(sheryll i think) Ur brain will go over 100k choices unconsciously, and make decisions. Studies show your brain show a spike in electrical activity a few millisec BEFORE

Answer 5

Psychopaths have less muscle mass in emotional areas. Temporal and frontal lobes had less tissue between each other Medications for specific things like parkinsons can cause increases in dopamine which sometimes led to addictions like gambling or homework.

Answer 6

3 yr old cameron w/ rasmussnes. Its when ½ the brain misfires, causing grand mal seizures. They cut ½ of the brain and she was perfectly fine. Other half of her brain took over the tasks.

Answer 7

Most boys seek it by 10 yrs old. Guys who r wi/ the same person for a longer period of times, it takes them longer to orgasm. This is caled teh COOLAGE EFFECT. Poligomy: big __, small bodies Monogamy:small__ big bodies Real ppl = touch, smell, pheromones and an emotional connection. Online pornography gives them a dopamine boost and since they can see so many things so quickly, it becomes normal for them. - Studies show that this can cause OCD, performance anxiety, - If you dont look at porn, u have more normal “__”. Porn addictions work w/ excess consumation which leads to more dopamine, which causes u to binge and releases chemicals, which leads to a craving and as u continue ur brain changes and u become less reactive to other dopamine thingies, u become hyperreactive to that addiction and u lose willpower. - People who watch more porn r also more likely to be diagnosed w/ depression. As soon as some men stopped porn, their Ed went away cause ED is in the brain(prefrontal cortex). Vigra affects u down there, not ur brain.

Answer 8

Sensorimotor 0-2 Earn object permanence, the thinking that objects exist even if u can’t see them - more likely to give-up more quickly if u can’t find something, they look immediately where they last aw it rather than where it's hidden - acts but cannot think in terms of being able to symbolize Preoperational 2-7 - Child earns ability to symbolize, learns language and is egocentric in terms that they can’t think “in someone else shoes”, can’t understand conservation of mass,liquid… - Also doesn't understand seriation(arranged things based on characteristic) or hierarchical classification(arranged on different categories ex:mammals, amphibians) -thinking is centrational/centration, deal w/ problem by focusing on only 1 aspect. - thinking is also irreversibility, can't imagine undoing an action(ex moving pennies back to normal) - Use TRANSDUCTIVE REASONING. They connect specifics to specifics. Ex: dad runs hot water before shaving so she connects a causal relationship. (When mom ran hot water, she said that “daddys gonna shave!”) Adults use induction(inferrence, like sun always rise from E) and deduction(if all men die, then he must too) Concrete operational 7-11 Has enough schemas to deal w/ outside world. Understand conservation of number,mass,volume and can think in other ppl’s perspectives. Can also think inductive and deductively but not always used. Less egocentric. INCAPABLE of working with hypothesis Formal/Operational 12 and > Capable of reasoning w/ hypothesis, abstract ideas. Basically everything

Answer 9

schema An “intllectual tool” that the child uses /applies to objects /events in the real world. Fixed pattern of behaviour and thinking that's applied to variety of situations adaptation Attempt to use current schema to deal w/ situations. Involves 2 processes. Assimilation and accommodation Assimilation: modifying or reconstructing object/experience so that the current schema can handle the exp Accommodation: Schema r modified to accommodate new objects/ experiences

Answer 10

Theory of how the social environment influences development. Each stage has a developmental task to go to next stage Stage Stage Ages Virtue 1 Trust-Mistrust 0-1 yr (Babies) Hope: Trust if parent comes when cry Mistrust is parent doesn’t come when cry 2 Autonomy vs Shame 2-3 yr (Toddler) Self-control, willpower: control & autonomy if parent encourages holding onto table to walk Shame/Doubt: is parents scold child for trying and failing 3 Initiative vs Guilt 3-5 (Pre-Schooler) Initiatives: If parents encourage to get own water even after spilling Guilt: If child spills and is scolded, the kid won’t wanna do again 4 Industry vs Inferiority 6-puberty (12) Method & Competence: kid who likes school & succeeds💯 Inferiority: kid who not like school & fails Virtue: method and competence 5 Identity vs role confusion teen-20 Identity: not give in to peer pressure, know who they r & what they wanna achieve Role Confusion: follow crowd, inconsistent behaviour cause of peer pressure Virtue: Devotion & Fidelity Devotion/Fidelity: social or interpersonal integrity 6 Intimacy vs isolate 20-40 Intimacy: fulfilling long-term relationships, meaningful, open yourself up Isolation: Ppl had bad relationship so r scared to open up, isolate themselves Virtue: affiliation & Love❤️ 7 Generativity Vs stagnation 40-60 Generativity,fulfillment: fulfillment in work/families Stagnation: work meaningless, stuck but friends are accomplishing great things 8 Ego Integrity vs Despair 60> Ego Integrity/Wisdom: facing death with/out regrets Despair: facing death w/ fear and feel like u havent lived ur life

Answer 11

- Maps the emissions of positrons, They get a type of glucose(deoxyglucose) that has radioactive fluorine that releases positrons and the more active parts of brain use more glucose, so they're able to see which areas are more active. - can also be done w/ O2 in water to see blood flow changes - functional activity of pt while doing tasks. Positrons, subatomic particle radiation

Answer 12

- endoscopes are put into pathways to reach deep parts of brain. internal/External surfaces of brain in detail - surgical tools r equipped at ends sometimes to perform surgery🏥

Answer 13

Electrodes on our brain can detect regional activity and can detect changes to the thousandth of a second. Used to detect changes in electrical activity and helpful to diagnose epilepsy EXTREMELY ACCURATE in terms of WHEN the activity happens activity. Also cheaper than MRIÈS Not very good anatomical resolution. Does NOT create an image. Its squiggly lines

Answer 14

- pics based on differences in how brain tissue absorbs X-Rays - takes “slice” pics of your brain - can also make 3-d pics - Take DYE(contrast chemical) which appears opaque in the X-Rays but helps see differences - detecting bone, tissues, hemorrhage, shape of ventricles - blood vessels - not good for small details of internal brain structure because differences in X-ray absorption are subtle - Ex: between grey and white matter

Answer 15

- use magnetic fields to make atoms resonate inside brain tissue. Atomic nuclei w/ odd # protons behave like magnets. When u apply magnetic field to head, atoms align w/ the field. Then, they absorb and emit electromagnetic energy at specific Hz(f). When computers analyze, they can see the water content that lets them see between watery, and fatty teacher - Seeing fatty & watery sections of brain - Reflects water content of brain, Also maps blood flow sometimes

Answer 16

Stimulates sections of the brain with a device which activities those parts, uses magnetic fields to activate nerve cells in ur brain

Answer 17

Phineas Gage: Got a pole thru his brain. His frontal lobe was damaged so his ability to plan and regulate emotions. EGGs are used to measure brain waves, this is called ⏰TEMPORAL RESOLUTION. It is good at sensing WHEN activity happens Temporal Resolution: Good for detecting WHEN activity happens(epilepsy squiggly lines) Spatial Resolution: Good for detecting WHERE activity happens in the brain VEP: Visual Evoked Potential- Brain activity in response to visual stimuli Psychophysiological Techniques: All of the medical things listed above. used to measure activity in the brain during specific mental tasks. Involve TWO things. Dependent and Independant. Independent: the mental activity or task that you are doing Dependant: whats being measured, some aspect of your brain like electrical activity, blood flow or metabolism Localization: functions that related to specific locations in the brain. White matter connects the cortexes to one another to create networks Cerebral Cortex: covers entire brain and made eof grey matter. Outer layer of cerebrum Cerebrum: divided into 2 regions. Each hemisphere has 4 lobes Left hemisphere: communication, language, logic, mathematic Right hemisphere: receive/analyze info, facial recognition, spatial awareness, visual imagery Frontal Lobe: decision-making, problem solving, motor control & personality. Speak, plan actions Temporal Lobe: hearing, language, memory Parietal Lobe: sensory touch, temperature, pain, spatial awareness Occipital Lobe: Visual Processing Corpus Callosum: Connects the hemispheres Hippocampus: Short-term & Long-term memory. Transfers ino into memory, name sof ppl and things Amygdala: almond shaped neural clusters that regulate info and how emotion affect memory. Flight or flight repsonse
