behavior (basic and applied science)


What is the mind? - correct answer ✔the private inner experience of
perceptions, thoughts, memories and feelings


Descartes and dualism - correct answer ✔French philosopher who argued
that body and mind are fundamentally different things. How mental activity can
be reconciled and coordinated with physical behavior. Body: material
substance. Mind (Soul): immaterial or spiritual substance. Believed the mind
influences the body through the pineal gland


functionalism vs structuralism - correct answer ✔Functionalism focused on
how mental and behavioral processes function (how they enable the organism
to adapt, survive, and flourish). Structuralism used introspection to explore the
elemental structure of the human mind.

experience

reactivity - correct answer ✔how you behave differently because you know
you are being watched


experimental vs correlational research - correct answer ✔correlation cannot
determine causation, but an experiment can. ex/ as ice cream sales increase,
drowning also increases drowning increases are caused by people swimming
in higher heat. heat is also what causes ice cream sales


strength of a correlation - correct answer ✔strong correlation is close to +1 or
-1 and a weak one is close to 0


spurious correlations - correct answer ✔not actually correlated but a third
factor connects the two ("Third Variable Problem")ex/ ice cream and drowning

assign: grouping things randomly (using random method ex. flipping coin)
