(Quizlet is NOT acceptable for this section.)Evaluate the definitions and group the terms together according to your understanding. Once you have defined the vocabulary terms, use your understanding of their definitions to group appropriate terms together and provide a brief rationale for your term groupings/associations. There should be a minimum of 4 groupings. These terms will be utilized during the first unit and will be included in your course assessments and on the AP Psychology Examination. Psychology Empiricism Structuralism Functionalism Applied Research Psychiatry Natural Selection Basic Research Nature versus Nurture Issue Biopsychosocial Approach Levels of Analysis Approaches to Psychology Biological Evolutionary Psychodynamic Behavioral Cognitive Humanistic Socio-culturalPart II: VOCABULARYDirections: Using an appropriate and credible reference sources, create notecards/flashcards, as you define each of the bold terms below AND give an ORIGINAL example of each term (do not use the examples from the text!). Please number each term and keep them in order. (There are 65 terms here and close to 600 to know by the AP exam.) You must be 1 intrinsically motivated to be in this class for there are very few 2 extrinsic motivators. Hopefully you’ll get in the 3 flow even before class begins because there is a 4 positive correlation between 5 happiness and higher test scores. I’m certain that all of you did not miss the 6 critical period; therefore, you should be able to use both 7 fluid intelligence and 8 crystallized intelligence to find answers. Additionally, you will be using your 9 Broca’s area and 10 Wernicke’s area to communicate with everyone in our class while using correct 11 grammar, proper 12 syntax, 13 morphemes, and 14 phonemes. There will be all sorts of 15 transduction and 16 parallel processing happening in our brains as we journey into the world of 17 Psychology. Our 18 hippocampi will be very busy as we 19 encode and find 20 storage for information. New information will undergo 21 assimilation and 22 accommodation in your 23 cognitive schemas. You’ll be asked to 24 recall and 25 retrieve for the AP exam without the use of 26 artificial intelligence or other assistance. Instead you can use 27 elaborative rehearsal techniques such as 28 mnemonics, 29 chunking, 30 imagery, and 31 acronyms to enhance your retention. Even though your 32 hormones may be raging and your 33 neurotransmitters flowing, hopefully no one in our class will be suffering from 34 narcolepsy, 35 sleep apnea, 36 insomnia, 37 night terrors, 38 split brain, or a 39 lobotomy, as that will make 40 learning and studying very difficult to say the least! I can guarantee that this class will test your ideas of what is and is not a 41 norm. I can also guarantee that this class will at times upset you, 42 conditioning you into 43 critical thinking, 44 self-disclosure, and into 45 belief perseverance. At the same time, this class will enlighten you about those of us who may have 46 psychological disorders or 47 intellectual disabilities, and help to remove our 48 fixations (non-Freudian definition here please), 49 functional fixedness, 50 prejudices, and 51 stereotypes. But don’t have a 52 panic attack, even though we enter the world of the abnormal, we head right into 53 therapy to help us solve some problems and may inspire us to be more 54 altruistic. Your 55 creativity will be valued in this class. Your 56 attitude is critical for success and 57 social loafing, slacking, procrastinating, copying or cheating are never good ideas. Working together to pass the AP Exam and the final exam is one of our 58 superordinate goals. By the time you walk into to gym on May 2021 you will have 59 self-efficacy because you will have learned that if you are confident in your ability to get a 5, you will! So, have a wonderful summer. Keep your 60 neural networks going and be certain to protect your 61 neurons, 62 brainstem, 63 limbic system, and 64 cerebral cortex safe as our brains have only so much 65 plasticity.PART III: FREE RESPONSE SECTION Directions: The units we study in psychology are interrelated. In order to have a complete picture of how humans think and behave, we need to examine a topic from multiple perspectives. Below, you will find links to recent research. Use the information you gleaned from the resource to answer the following question:Taylor is preparing to take AP Psychology and wants to be successful academically but also wants have fun senior year. College applications, senior activities, and the pressure of a rigorous academic schedule will make the year challenging. Explain how each of the following concepts can help Taylor be academically successful. Please write one paragraph for any FIVE of the bulleted terms. Your paragraph should define and explain how the term will help Taylor be academically successful.REM SleepElaborative RehearsalTesting EffectSelf ExplanationDistributed PracticeYerkes-Dodson LawGrowth MindsetBrain PlasticitySelective AttentionCollaborative LearningA rubric with scoring guidelines is provided.
