25 important questions on Psychological processes relevant for legal professionals

What is the quantitative detection theory changes detection from simone and levine 1998? And the diffrence detection?

.CHANGES DETECTION: difference over time in one structure


DIFFERENCE DETECTION: comparison between two structures
(Simon & Levine, 1998
they dint noticed that random people passing by or a person being repleced they found out only 7 saw it. They were able to identify possible mistakes like not seeing diffrence over time

Where do we have the most trouble with? Quantative detection? What efects us?

Small diffrences. The magnitude of the change.

What is a phenomenon in quantative detectoin? And what causes it? Change blindness Rensink 2002

We see a change but dont know what changed. Caused by  in attentional;l blindness.

How good are we at quantitative detection?


Depends on different peculiarities (e.g., the magnitude of the changes)
Not clear our ability with regards to additions or deletions
Easier detecting a change without knowing what is easier than localizing or identifying the change

Why do we have inattentional blindness?

.We select and filter stimuli (like emotional)
That outstandingly and automatically draw our attention
That have an emotional content

What is the yerkes dodson curve?

The relation between emotional things and quantitative perception. It shows how ,much we are activated by arousal. This goes to a certain lvl. We have impairment of our perception performance.

What are the effects due emotional content?

Face in the crowd effect hansen hansen
weapon focus effect, johnson and scot.

How does arousal influence our perception?

Excesses of concentration.

What is the weapon focus effect and face in the crowd effect?

We see the gun first or a mad face in the corwd becuase this triggers more arousal.

What are qualitative detections?

We perceive things that are not there or complte things.

What are three qualitative detections?

- illusiions
- hallicinations
- stimulus elciting competition.

Illusions, qualitative detections?

ILLUSIONS: The stimuli are perceived in a distorted way

Hallicitions qualitative detections?

HALLUCINATIONS: We perceive stimuli not present at all

What is stimulus eliciting completion?

.STIMULUS ELICITING COMPLETION: We tend to complete incomplete stimuli

What can also effect our qualitative detection?


EMOTIONS AND MOTIVES IN A SEMI-AUTMOATIC WAY
(e.g., Sommer, 1988) like giving life lifeless object. Semi automatic not aware.

EXPLICIT MOTIVATION
(e.g., Blacetis & Dunning, 2006) , interpretation can be multiple.


EXPECTATION
(e.g., Raisic et al., 2015; Rassi et al., 2008) , we see what we expect.


CONTEXT
(e.g., Navon, 1977; Sternberg, 1996; Perfect et al., 2007), elements seem bigger than they are.

What are memory phases?>

Encoding -> consoledate -> remember and recall.,

.Multi-store model (Atkison & Shiffrin, 1968)

Most reliable memory is split three systems
perception and memory are related because we need to pay attention. Information is forgotten if we not pay attention eith rehearsal.

Working memory model baddeley and hitch

After we perceive some things we have to deal with allot of information. This model explains how we deal with diffrent information. 3 components.

central executive = component permits regulation diffrently

- visuspatial - visual info
- episodic
-phonological - language info.

working memory replaces short term memory after that perception goes to long term.

Memory Systems (Graf e Schachter, 1985; Tulving, 1972)

Diffrent long term system.
implicit contains all info on skills we have it is automatic memory like bike riding.
explicit declarative memory= memories of the past.
semantic: general countries , animals
episodic: life vents
auto biographical: emories that give our sense of being.
visual = visual, where a shop is.

What are some other memory models?
hierarchical model
spreading activation model

.Hierarchical Model (Collin & Quillians, 1969)
Spreading Activation Model (Collins & Loftus, 1975

first we thought   hierarichal now spreading. Memory is like a network diffrent nodes and lines. Memories are the nodes of the network and they are related to each other. Using the lines, the stronger the lines. The stronger the nodes.  when we remember we activated a node.

. Memory models Associative Network Model (Bower, 1981)

Enotions can influene ou way of reading info, nodes acivate the corgruant material i our memories we use to undertand info.

What are mood dpendency effects?

Mood dependent effect: we remember something better i we have the same emotion. Moods needs to be the same during encoding.

Autobiographical memory Constructive Model (Conway & Rubin, 1993)

Categories it is hierarchical
autobiographical memory is based on autobiographical knowledge and ourselves there are categories
/ lefetime periods
- the general events
- specific knowledge

What are general events? ( constructive model)

More general no begiing or end, repeat. They are grouped in cluster general memories.

What are specific memories (constructive model)

Recover memory from lifetime periods memories we really know specific details like visual images they can fade quickly.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
