7. Illustration: Experiments with “split-brain” patients: Independent variable: visual field (V.F.), and thus the side of the brain that a stimulus is presented to . Dependent variables: naming the stimulus and recognizing the stimulus (two different tasks).

A)What does the patient do when the word “key” is flashed to EACH visual field? Can the patient name the word, and can he recognize it touch, when presented to each visual field?

B) Explain why he can/ can’t do each of the two tasks with each side of the brain

Impression Management Case Study

Recently you have been recruited at a well-known company. Your first job is to impress the boss with best impression management technique. You find out quickly your boss is “bossy”, who likes his authority and dislike when he is being challenged by employees. He expects his employees to given in best quality work on time and stay honest to their work roles and duties. One day during your first office meeting when your boss shared a new policy, you right away objected it and present a better an alternative policy. After when the meeting ended, your boss stick to his mentioned policy and rejected yours. You felt you made a mistake and made a bad impression on your boss and attendees. You though to yourself your boss never going to like you, and your will never get promotion so your life would be unsuccessful.

• Pick an impression management technique from impression management taxonomy and give rational why is that technique would work in given case scenario?
• Explain how would you implement that technique?
• Identify and name cognitive error and how would you change it using cognitive restructuring technique.

VI. Principles of Brain Functioning

a) Hierarchical organization . Explain how the brain is organized as a hierarchy or rank-order system of power/control: more advanced structures like the cerebral cortex receive info from, and then issue commands to, less advanced structures.

b) Contralateral organization – each cerebral hemisphere (right and left) controls the opposite of the body, and receives info from the opposite visual field. Explain with an example.

c)Cerebral lateralization – each side of the cortex is specializes in certain kinds of processing. Explain with regard to each side of the cortex.

Would you flip a coin for the chance of winning two dollars? What if you were given a dollar and offered the chance to flip a coin to either gain a second dollar or lose the first? Which wager seems more appealing—the first or the second?

Far more people choose the first wager than the second. Both scenarios have exactly the same probability of outcomes: a 50% chance of ending up with nothing, and a 50% chance of ending up with two dollars. Why might the first wager appeal to people? Do we always make the best possible decision?

Impediments are factors that can hinder decision making. While they often vary by situation, common impediments exist that might influence decision making in general.

In this Discussion, you explain a difficult decision you have made. You also describe impediments that you faced when making this decision, as well as common decision-making impediments.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief description of a recent difficult decision you made between two or more alternatives.

Then explain the nature of two impediments that you faced in making the decision.

Finally, describe two common impediments to optimal decision making.

Try to think of an example of some speech that accomplishes another action, rather than transmit information, and tell us what action the speech accomplishes. This might be as simple as something like "guess what?"

According to Deaux and Major, what are the three determinants of behavior? Give a real life example of each in a one-page writing assignment.

Write ONE proposal for behavior change. This could be a behavior change for yourself or someone else (friend, family member, etc.). The behavior change program should incorporate and specify at least two basic principles of behavior (e.g., reinforcement, punishment, stimulus control, prompting, etc). You may elect to increase/decrease the frequency of an existing behavior, establish a new behavior, or some combination. It will also be important to incorporate examples when designing your behavior change program (I.e., describe the experimental design you would use to test if your treatment were responsible for changes). Proposals should be 2-3 pages, typed and double spaced. The proposal should include an introduction describing the behavior, the person involved and a rationale for changing the behavior, response definitions, response measurement, and the behavior change strategies that would be used.
