- DFunctionalism
8Sigmund Freud believed.....
- Athat the conscious and unconscious mind must be analyzed before effective treatments can begin, that dreams offer insight into the unconscious world, and that many behaviors are a result of unconscious motivations
- Bthat the mind should not be studied, that you can only observe behaviors, and that the mind and body are not connected
- Cthat the mind and body are the same, that we are born with certain knowledge, and that experience affects brain development
9Childhood experiences play a larger role later in life. Experience affects brain development.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10Functionalism states that the mind should not be studied. The only thing that can be studied is observable behaviors.
- ATrue
- BFalse

13A procedure in which paring in a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that elicits a response causes the neutral stimulus to elicit that response.

15Pavlov's Dog Experiment: 1. Before Conditioning- the food is the unconditioned stimulus and the dog's salivation is the unconditioned response. 2. Before conditioning- tuning fork is the neutral stimulus which causes the no conditioned response from the dog. 3. During Conditioning- the tuning for and the food is presented and causes the unconditioned response. 4. After Conditioning- the turning fork is now the conditioned stimulus and is presented to cause the conditioned response (salivation).
