A few study strategies can help me remember and apply all the information absorbed into my brain for my next psychology exam . The three study techniques I will employ will be elaboration, hierarchal organization, and visualization. With the proper use and confidence in these techniques, there is no doubt that an improvement in grade on the test will show. A majority of persons are passive learners, or the ones who simply read the book and go to lecture; in contrast, elaboration teaches you to be an active learner, one who uses the information and applies it come exam time. This technique is given the name elaboration because it asks one to "elaborate" on something they read or studied, to pose questions about the topic, an ...

UT Chattanooga, PYSH 101

Excerpt: ... Psychology Exam 2 Essay Questions Classical conditioning is when an environmental stimulus initiates a response. Conditioned responses are acquired behaviors that we have when a given event takes place. A conditioned stimulus is the factor that causes the CR. Unconditioned Responses are innate responses which require no learning. The stimulus that produces the UCR is called the Unconditioned Stimulus. If one removes the UCS eventually the CR will not occur even when the CS is present via extinction. However, if days later the CS is present again the CR could come back by spontaneous recovery. In the late 19th Century Pavlov was studying the digestive systems of dogs. He noticed how they salivated (an unconditioned response) much like humans when presented with food (an unconditioned stimulus). So he began ringing a bell before he fed them. The acquisition of its association with food began, resulting in the dogs to beginning to salivate which is a conditioned response to the conditioned stimulus, the bell. I ...
