Independent Variable: variable which is manipulated
Dependent Variable: variable influenced by the independent variable
Experimental Group: group of subjects that receive the independent variable
Control Group: group of subjects that DO NOT receive the independent variable]]> 2016-08-26 14:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/120045697 ridaraz4894 https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/120136699 -Empiricism: The idea that what we know comes from experience, and that science should, therefore, rely on observation & experimentation.
-Structuralism: to use self-reflective introspection (looking inward) to learn about the mind's structure. 
-Functionalism: the exploration of how mental and behavioral processes function.
-Experimental Psychology:  the study of behavior and thinking using the experimental method.
-Behaviorism: The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes.
-Humanistic Psychologists: a historically significantly perspective that emphasized the growth potential of healthy people.
-Cognitive Neuroscience: an interdisciplinary study that has enriched our understanding of the brain activity linked with cognition (ex. perception, thinking, memory, and language)

-Easier in chronological order
-Write legibly
-Answer the question
-Be specific; Use evidence and examples

-Behavioral Psychology: the scientific study of observable behavior, and its explanation by principles of learning
- Biological Psychology: the scientific study of the links between biological (genetics, neutral, hormonal) and psychological processes
-Cognitive Psychology: the scientific study of all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating
-Evolutionary Psychology: the study of the evolution if behavior and mind, using principles natural selection 
-Psychodynamic Psychology: a branch of psychology that studies how unconscious drives and conflicts influence behavior, and uses that information to treat people with psychological disorders
-Social-Cultural Psychology: the study of how situations and cultures affect our behavior and thinking

The sun was slowly sliding down. The light was going away and the sun was setting. ]]> 2016-08-31 14:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/120842710 ridaraz4894 https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/121094812 -Describe and apply the steps of the scientific method
-Identify the independent and dependent variables
    -IV: the variable which is being manipulated
    -DV: the variable which is influenced by the IV
    -Confounding/Extraneous/Third: influences the DV without your     knowledge; ex. the kids could be hungry so, she couldn't control herself when eating the marshmallow; Variable other than IV
-Understand how to create my own experiment and identify variables]]> 2016-09-01 14:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/121094812 ridaraz4894 https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/121098207 -Longitudinal Study: A study over time

-Histogram: a bar graph depicting a frequency distribution
-Mode: most frequently occurring score
-Mean: average calculated by adding all the scores and dividing by the number of the scores
-Median: the middle number in the distribution
-Skewed: a representation of scored that lack symmetry around their average value
-Range: the difference between the highest and lowest score
-Standard Deviation: a completed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score
-Normal Curve: a bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution 
-Statistically Significant: how likely it is that an obtained result occurred by chance
-Inferential Studies: help determine if results can be generalized to a larger population
-Correlation: measure of the extent to which 2 variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other
-Correlation Coefficient: a statistical index of the relationship between 2 variables (from +1.0 to -1.0)
-Scatterplot: a graphed cluster of dots which helps determine correlations
-Positive Correlation: 2 variables rise/fall together
-Negative Correlation: 1 variable rises as the other falls
-Illusory Correlations: perception of a relationship where none exists or random events that we notice falsely assume are related
-Placebo Effect: experimental results caused by the experiment alone
-Double-Blind Procedure: an experimental procedure used to avoid the placebo effect
-Random Assignment: used to minimize preexisting differences between the different groups by assigning participants to experimental and control groups by chance
-Validity: extent to which a test/experiment measures/predicts what it is supposed to]]> 2016-09-06 14:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/121802845 ridaraz4894 https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/122117111 -A subject's participation in research should be voluntary and based on informed consent
-Subjects should not be exposed to harmful or dangerous research procedures
-If an investigation requires some deception of subjects, the researcher is required to explain and correct any misunderstandings as soon as possible
-Subject's rights to privacy should never be violated (confidentiality)
-Harmful/painful procedures imposed upon animals must be justified in terms of knowledge to b gained from the study. Furthermore, lab animals are entitled to decent living conditions]]> 2016-09-07 14:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/122117111 ridaraz4894 https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/122450640 I learned that ethical principles are important because every person deserves their rights. It was unfair and inhumane to punish all the prisoners, rather than just the one prisoner.

Positive Correlation (+1): The more I study, the better the grade I have
Negative Correlation (-1): The less I work, the less money I get
Zero (0): None 


-More effort, better grades (Positive)
-Not exercising, more unhealthier (Negative)
-More chitchatting, more focused (Zero) ]]> 2016-09-09 14:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/122749804 megan_dougherty https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/123624645 2016-09-13 21:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ridaraz4894/ffpulxw3kpp4/wish/123624645
