Alternative Studying to Psychology.

[Camo]

The 2011 end of year psychology exam is on the 7th of November (Monday) from 3pm to 4:45 pm. As I have finished my notes lately and making practice exams I have encountered on the following clips related to psychology.

Enjoy and please comment if you would like any more added.
Keep up with the study.

Respect +1, just for the TBBT clip. I don't do psychology but apparently from listening to others they watched that clip in class and it isn't entierly correct. Something about the punishments not being negative reinforcement or something. I don't know maybe you can work out what I am saying.

Punishment can never be neg reinf. 2 entirely different concepts my friend

[Zafaraaaa]

Haha I hope my "alternative studying" doesn't lead me to finish a whole season of American Dad

Yeh I think that is what they were talking about.

[Camo]

I keep it as simple as possible:

Reinforcement: used to strengthen behaviours.
Punishment: used to weaken or eliminate behaviours.

Therefore:
Positive Reinforcement: addition of a positive stimulus to strengthen behaviour.
Negative Reinforcement: removal of a negative stimulus to strengthen behaviour.
Positive Punishment: addition of a negative stimulus to weaken behaviour.
Negative Punishment: removal of a positive stimulus to weaken behaviour.

This is evidence to support that psychology just gives complex names to simple things

I'm trying to find this clip, but I can't find the full version.
Anyway from an episode of Community. I think it relates to this, may even be a rip off of a real expirement.
If anyone of you have seen an early episode of the first season.
They get people to volunteer for this expirement. They put them in this 'waiting room' and the teacher Professor Duncan and his students watch them on a TV screen. He explains his 'Duncan principle' that all they have to do is wait and the people in the room will show abnormal behaviour and crack. So the expirement goes on and some do crack. They get down to one last person who has been in there for 26 hours. Duncan and the students themselves crack from waiting for him. As the line goes "You know what you've done, YOU'VE DESTROYED THE DUNCAN PRINCIPLE", even though in saying that, Duncan himself just proved it.

Anyway this could be completely unrelated, I'm still trying to find the link for it.

It sounds a bit like social influences which is in the unit 2 part of the current study design. The closest link I can think of is Phillip Zimbardo's prison stimulation testing roles, but otherwise I can't think of any alternatives atm.

AMAZING PSYCHOLOGIST THOUGH.
