Welcome Back Everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful break! Now its time to get in the groove of things and finish up the semester!

January 3rd:

Today we started the last unit on learning. We went through classical conditioning and did some class examples.

To briefly state the keys of today's lesson:

The UCS = unconditioned stimulus. this a prompt that will get the same recognition by any individual. Think of nature! (Food, disasters, breakups, crime, death, etc.) The UCR = unconditioned response. this is a response to the stimuli that is natural (Thoughts, happiness, sadness, distress, fear, hunger, physiological response) The CS = conditioned stimulus. This is a prompt that does not normally have a natural response, but when paired with the unconditioned stimulus will eventually, by it self, get the unconditioned response. The CR = conditioned response. this is the response to the conditioned stimulus. This is also the same as the unconditioned response. (for our class)

So to put this into an equation:

UCS --> UCR (every time since this is a natural occurrence)

CS + UCS --> UCR (the conditioned stimulus is paired with the unconditioned stimulus which elicits the unconditioned response.)

Eventually over time:

CS --> CR (UCR) So the conditioned stimulus, by itself, will get the response!

Remember: CR = UCR for our class!

In Class we filled in the first page of notes: (Learning ppt:Slides up until the exit question)



Dec 15th: Treatment information, use the discovering schizophrenia work sheet to take notes on treatments.



Dec 13th:

Schizophrenia Trackstar and notes guide. I'm putting this information up early so that the sophomores missing class tuesday can get a jumpstart on the notes.

December 7th and 9th These next two days are dedicated to explaining psychological disorders so go through the packet and the notes to gather the information you need.

KEY DATES

DEC 9th: Topic due for your assignment DEC 15th: Bibliography due DEC 19th: TEST Abnormal Psych DEC 21st: assignment due



December 5th: Today we started our unit on Abnormal Psychology. So look through the slides and use your notes guide to answer some of the questions along the way.

November 29th/ December 1st:

__**Project Exhibit Due!!! 12/1**__

If you and your group are struggling to think of a way to present here's an example of a power point. I highly encourage the power point because you can print out the slides and then glue them to a poster. The example also gives you an outline of what you need to include.



Daily Question and Exit Question

November 21st/23rd: PROJECT DUE 11/29 Come to class fully prepared! Target: Analyzing research papers

Download the research paper and guide help guide you through empirical research. Directions: Read the paper then answer the questions in the guide.

After your done with the guide, download the paper(s) that refer to your research area. I've uploaded some papers to the wiki for you guys to download and read for your projects. All these papers will be perfect for the research portion of your project. Pick Only ONE paper to use. Project work papers:



November 17th In class today our learning target was to unpack the brain and explore deeper into how the brain works and processes information. We also had our open notes quiz.

We also watched a movie on split brain joe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMLzP1VCANo

November 15th

In Class today we did several activities revolving around the neuron. Check out the power point to reenact some of these activities!

November 9th/11th Daily Question: What do you know about the Brain

Input 417287 in the track # section

Notes are due 11/15 Tuesday

November 7th

TEST!! intro to neuroscience.

November 3rd



Prepare for the test on monday 11/7 !!!!!!!!! My 1a do not worry about the Daily question for DP 5. For both classes do not worry about the exit question on this slide. Good Luck. Any questions send me an email: Stephen.Fox@marquette.edu

Study tips for the exam: Know the charts well! A large part of the test is dedicated to both piaget and kohlberg so make sure that you can identify the stages, know the characteristic accomplishments for piaget and the focus areas and examples for kohlberg. Also be prepared to kohlberg scenarios. We went through heinz and how people reacted. Think about each character in the dilemma and what stage they are in according to their actions. The last study tip is to go through the first two pages of topics in developmental psych. All of those points will be on the test.

The test is matching, short answer and essay. Goodluck!
