Key Concepts in Psychology: Quizzes and Insights
Quiz #1: History of Psychology
The English translation for the Greek word psyche is the soul. The practice of introspection involves someone examining their own conscious experience as objectively as possible. School of psyche description: Structuralism was the first school to focus on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. The basic elements of consciousness using methods known as introspection and internal perception. Functionalism was an early school of thought that focused

Methods
Social psychology is an empirical science that attempts to answer questions about human behavior by testing hypotheses, both in the laboratory and in the field. Careful attention to sampling, research design, and statistical analysis is important. Results are published in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Social psychology studies also appear in general

Define Measurement and Understand its Role in Quantitative Research
- Measurement involves assigning numbers to data to mark characteristics, linking conceptual ideas to empirical observations. In quantitative research, measurement is used to gather data to answer questions. It serves as both a descriptive and evaluative device.
Distinguish Between Categorical and Continuous Data (Nominal vs. Ordinal, Interval, Ratio)
- Categorical data includes nominal and ordinal

Animal Research: Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
- Animals are simpler, more likely to reveal fundamental brain/behaviour interaction.
- Allows comparative research.
- Some experiments are not possible in humans.
Disadvantages:
- Humans are more efficient and cheaper to test.
- Animal lives should be as respected as humans.
Animal Research Regulations

Neural Computation of Log Likelihood in Control of Saccadic Eye Movements
Latency is related to the evaluation of the existence of a signal. Neural integration of the signal’s existence: if the threshold is reached (→), the signal exists. Changing the prior by changing how many times it goes left/right changes the latency. For low latency, we assume express saccades. The prior changes, so the slope changes, converging to the same threshold.
