EPPP: Cognitive Affective Bases of
Behavior Exam Study Guide
Detection of stimulation - Answer✔️✔️-Sensation
Detection and interpretation of sensory stimuli - Answer✔️✔️-Perception
Global mental states and selective cognitive processes; selectively
concentrating on something - Answer✔️✔️-Attention
The aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to
think rationally, and to deal effectively with his or her environment -
Answer✔️✔️-Intelligence
a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint
stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise). Assumes there is
no single absolute threshold and that detection depends partly on a
person's experience, expectations, motivation, and alertness. - Answer✔️✔️-
Signal Detection Theory
processing that occurs in a progression from lower to higher areas of the
brain - Answer✔️✔️-Hierarchical Processing
A separate central nervous system unit for processing each feature of a
stimulus - Answer✔️✔️-Functional Segregation
analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's
integration of sensory information - Answer✔️✔️-Bottom-Up Processing
information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when
we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations -
Answer✔️✔️-Top-Down Processing
The simultaneous analysis of a signal in different ways by the multiple
parallel pathways of a neural network - Answer✔️✔️-Parallel Perceptual
Processing
The combining of visual features to form whole objects; a process that takes
place when attention is directed at a particular location - Answer✔️✔️-
Feature Binding
Interpretation of a stimulus is more based on prior assumptions of said
stimulus rather than current experience of the stimulus - Answer✔️✔️-
Optimal Estimation Theory
Ignorance of a stimulus due to selective attention; so much attention is paid
to the focal stimulus that distractor stimuli are completely ignored, even if
they are categorically different from the focal stimulus - Answer✔️✔️-
Attentional Blindness
Explains the decreased speed of naming the color of ink used to print
words when the color of ink and the word itself are of different colors. -
Answer✔️✔️-The Stroop Effect
The degree to which an ignored stimulus is processed depends on the
extent of processing required by the attended stimulus. Reduction of
intereference caused by distractors is lowest when the attentional demands
for the attended sitmulus are highest. How much a distractor stimulus is
ignored is proportional to how much attention the target stimulus requires;
positive correlation. - Answer✔️✔️-Attentional Load Theory
Attention can be controlled either by noticing a stimulus with a certain
amount of weight or by making an executive decision about where to place
attention - Answer✔️✔️-Attentional Control
Cognitive processes which allow a person to engage successfully in
independent, purposeful, self-directed, and self-serving behaviors -
Answer✔️✔️-Executive Functioning
Model of intelligence which states the brain is made of interdependent but
separate functional systems - Answer✔️✔️-PASS Model
General overall intellectual ability (Spearman) - Answer✔️✔️-g Theory of
Intelligence
General fluid intellectual ability and general crystalized intellectual ability
(Cattell) - Answer✔️✔️-Gf - Gc Theories of Intelligence
1) Regulation of cortical arousal and attention; 2) receiving, processing, and
retention of information; 3) programming, regulation, and verification of
behavior - Answer✔️✔️-Luria's Three-Level Theory of Higher Cortical
Functions
The fact that scores on different intelligence tests tend to be correlated with
each other. All variables of intelligence are positively correlated. -
Answer✔️✔️-Positive Manifold
Seven to nine distinct areas of mental ability (Thurstone) - Answer✔️✔️-
Theory of Primary Mental Abilities
Three-stratum model of intelligence: general ability, broad ability, and
narrow ability - Answer✔️✔️-Cattell-Horn-Carroll Theory of Intelligence
The extent to which an assessment informs treatment recommendations.
The value of an assessment in selecting and implementing interventions
and treatments that will benefit the examinee. - Answer✔️✔️-Treatment
Validity
Storage of information for later retrieval - Answer✔️✔️-Learning
a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a
response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited
by the first stimulus alone. Tying an instinctive response to a neutral
stimulus. - Answer✔️✔️-Classical Conditioning
a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a
reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher. Tying an intentional
response to a stimulus - Answer✔️✔️-Operant Conditioning
