Command Terms

Please choose the correct example for the command term Analyse

• The DSM and ICD are both categorical systems of classification, used to diagnose mental illness.

• The process of operant conditioning can be broken down into three phases: the antecedent condition, the behaviour, and the consequence.

• Learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge and/or skill through experience.

• Punishment can be an effective way of reducing the likelihood of a behaviour, however, it can have unintended outcomes such as frustration and feelings of helplessness developing in a person who is punished.

• Classical conditioning works by the organism associating a NS with an UCS, resulting in a CR. For example, the bell (NS) is repeatedly paired with food (UCS), resulting in a CR which is salivating only to the bell.

• A counterbalanced repeated measures design is a better research design to reduce participant related extraneous variables, compared to an independent groups design.

• The research design used in this experiment is a matched-participants design.

• The DSM and ICD are both categorical systems of classification, used to diagnose mental illness.

Please choose the correct example for the command term Describe

• Psychology is a great subject to study – not only is my teacher a highlight, the subject content allows you to understand what makes us human.

• Psychology is a science. This is because it uses the scientific method: formulating a research question; creating a hypothesis; designing the method; collecting, analysing, & interpreting data; and reporting the results.

• In primary appraisal, the individual decides whether a situation is beneficial, irrelevant, or stressful. If It is stressful, further appraisal occurs: harm/loss, threat or challenge.

• A counterbalanced repeated measures design is a better research design to reduce participant related extraneous variables, compared to an independent groups design.

• A counterbalanced repeated measures design is a better research design to reduce participant related extraneous variables, compared to an independent groups design.

• The research design used in this experiment is a matched-participants design.

• Classical conditioning is simply a form of associative learning – you associate or link a neutral stimulus to an unconditioned stimulus.

• Learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge and/or skill through experience.

• Classical conditioning is simply a form of associative learning – you associate or link a neutral stimulus to an unconditioned stimulus.

• The research design used in this experiment is a matched-participants design.

• A counterbalanced repeated measures design is a better research design to reduce participant related extraneous variables, compared to an independent groups design.

• Problem-focused coping strategies address the practical aspects of the stressor, whereas emotion-focused coping strategies address the feelings associated with the stressor, not the stressor itself.
