Here are the topics that you need to review for your essay exam. You need to be ready to answer all of them, but I will choose the 3 questions you will be responding to on Friday, 12/18/09.
1. Choose a specific neurotransmitter or class of neurotransmitters and discuss its impact on behavior.
2. Compare and contrast the nervous system and the endocrine system.
3. What do people tend to dream about, and what theories have been proposed to explain why people dream at all?
4. Explain how a specific phobia could be acquired through classical conditioning, being sure to identify the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response in your example. Also, using classical conditioning, indicate how the phobia could be eliminated.
5. Provide specific, everyday examples (for instance, from child-rearing) of the following operant-conditioning phenomena: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and punishment.
Each response needs to be a paragraph (at least 4-5 sent.) minimum. You will not be allowed to use your notes that day. Make sure you know the information! The Objective (multiple choice) Review Packet will be posted sometime this weekend (before Sunday night). Make sure you print that out and bring it in to the next class. Enjoy your weekend, see you next week!
