CHAPTER 3 Cognitive Psychology1 . PerceptionA . Visual perceptual organizationa.Perception is the process of interpreting and organising the environmental information received by the senses.b.Visual perceptual organizationFor visual perception, this involves taking the constantly fluctuating patterns of light which arrive from all over the environment, upside-down, onto our two-dimensional retinas and detecting the shape of objects in the environment; Establishing location in three-dimensional space; Recognizing an object in terms of its shape, size, brightness and colour.c.Perceptual Organization: Gestalt(1)Visual Capture:tendency for vision to dominate the other senses.(2)Gestalt -- an organized whole tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes.(3)Grouping: the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.Grouping Principles:Proximity -- group nearby figures togetherSimilarity -- group figures that are similarContinuity -- perceive continuous patternsClosure -- fill in gapsConnectedness -- spots, lines, and areas are seen as unit when connectedd.Top-down theories of perception(1)Sometimes referred to as constructivist theories, these theories stress the factors in the construction of reality that go beyond the information received from the senses.(2)Gregory’s theory and perceptual set theory regard perception as a very active process, whereby the individual’s past knowledge, expectations and stereotypes seek out sensory data to ‘complete the picture’.(3)Perceptual Constancyperceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal image change.(color,shape ,size)(4) Illusions(5) Perceptual Set: Schemase.Bottom-up theories of percption(1)These theories emphasise the richness of the information entering theeye and the way that perception can occur from using all the information available.(2)Gibson believes perception occurs directly from sensation, feature detection theories examine the processes involved in assembling perception from sensations.f.The development of perceptionDepth Perception: ability to see objects in three dimensions; allows us to judge distance.Binocular cues:retinal disparity,images from the two eyes differ; closer the object, the larger the disparity.Convergence: neuromuscular cue; two eyes move inward for near objects. Monocular Cuesrelative size: smaller image is more distantInterposition: closer object blocks distant objectrelative clarity: hazy object seen as more distantTexture: coarse --> close; fine --> distantrelative motion: closer objects seem to move fasterlinear perspective: parallel lines converge with distancerelative brightness: closer objects appear brighter2 . AttentionA. Definition: The focusing and concentration of mental effort thatusually results in conscious awareness of certain aspects of external sensory stimuli or mental experiences(although most study has focused on the former).B. Some studies have looked at focused or selective attention – how certain stimuli are selected over others through allocating attention.Other studies have looked at divided attention – how, within a limited capacity, attention can be allocated to more than one task at a time(Research has shown that if tasks are practised enough, they become automatic, need less attention, and can be successfully performed with other tasks).3 . MemoryA.Memory:persistence of learning over time via the storage and retrieval of information.B.Flashbulb Memory:a clear memory of an emotionally significant moment or eventC.Memory as Information Processinga. Encoding:the processing of information into the memory system. i.e.,extracting meaning.b.Storage:the retention of encoded information over time.c.Retrieval:process of getting information out of memory.D.Sensory Memory:the immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system.E.Working Memory:focuses more on the processing of briefly stored information.G.Short-Term Memory:activated memory that holds a few items briefly, look up a phone number, then quickly dial before the information is forgotten.H.Long-Term Memory:the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory systemI.A Simplified Memory ModelEncoding EncodingLong-termmemoryShort-termmemorySensorymemorySensorymemorySensory input attention to important Retrievingor novel informationa. Encoding:Automatic Processing and Effortful Processing(1)Automatic Processing:unconscious encoding of incidental information(Space, time, frequency);well-learned information(word meanings);we can learn automatic processing(reading backwards)(2)Effortful Processing:requires attention and conscious effort.(3)Rehearsal:conscious repetition of information.(to maintain it in consciousness ;to encode it for storage)(4)Ebbinghaus used nonsense syllables:the more times practiced on Day 1, the fewer repetitions to relearn on Day 2.(5)Spacing Effect:distributed practice yields better long- term retention than massed practice.b.What Do We Encode?(1) Semantic Encoding:encoding of meaning, including meaning of words.(2) Acoustic Encoding:encoding of sound, especially sound of words(3)Visual Encoding:encoding of picture images.(4)Imagery:mental pictures, a powerful aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding.(5)Mnemonics:memory aids ,especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices .(6)Chunking:organizing items into familiar, manageable units,like horizontal organization--1776149218121941(often occurs automatically);use of acronyms;Organized information is more easily recalled;(7)Hierarchies:complex information broken down into broad concepts and further subdivided into categories and subcategories.Encoding(automaticor effortful)OrganizationMeaning(semanticEncoding)Imagery(visualEncoding)ChunksHierarchiesb. Storage: Retaining Information(1) Iconic Memory:a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli;a photographic or picture image memory lasting no more that a few tenths of a second.(2)Echoic Memory:momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli.(3)Short-Term Memory :limited in duration and capacity;“magical”number 7+/-2(4)Long-Term MemoryⅠ.Synaptic changes:increase in synapse’s firing potential after brief, rapid stimulation.Ⅱ.Strong emotions make for stronger memories:some stress hormones boost learning and retention.Ⅲ.Explicit Memory:memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and declare;also called declarative memory;hippocampus--neural center in limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage.Ⅳ.Implicit Memory :retention independent of conscious recollection;also called procedural memory.c. Retrieval(1)retrievalⅠ.Recall:measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier,as on a fill-in-the-blank test.Ⅱ.Recognition:Measure of memory in which the person has only to identify items previously learned ,as on a multiple-choice test.Ⅲ .Relearning:memory measure that assesses the amount of time saved when learning material a second time.Ⅳ. Priming:activation, often unconsciously, of particular associations in memory.(2) Retrieval CuesⅠ.Deja Vu (French)--already seen:cues from the current situation may subconsciously trigger retrieval of an earlier similar experience.Ⅱ.Mood-congruent Memory:tendency to recall experiences that are consistent with one’s current mood ;memory, emotions, or moods serve as retrieval cues.State-dependent Memory-----what is learned in one state (while one is high, drunk, or depressed) can more easily be remembered when in same stateⅢ .After learning to move a mobile by kicking, infants had their learning reactivated most strongly when retested in the same rather than a different context.d. Forgetting(1) Forgetting can occur at any memory stage.(2)As we process information, we filter, alter, or lose much of it.(3)Amnesia--the loss of memory(4)Forgetting as encoding failure:Information never enters the long-term memory. Ebbinghaus forgetting curve over 30 days-- initially rapid, then levels off with time.(5)Forgetting as retrival failure:Forgetting can result from failure to retrieve information from long-term memory.(6)Interference:Learning some items may disrupt retrieval of other information.Ⅰ.Proactive (forward acting) Interference:disruptive effect of prior learning on recall of new information.Ⅱ.Retroactive (backwards acting) Interference:disruptive effect of new learning on recall of old information.Ⅲ .Motivated Forgettingpeople unknowingly revise memoriesⅣ.Repressiondefense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety - arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories.(7)Memory ConstructionⅠ.We filter information and fill in missing pieces.Misinformation Effect and Source AmnesiaⅡ.Eyewitnesses reconstruct memories when questionedJ . Improve Your Memory(1)Study repeatedly to boost recall.(2)Spend more time rehearsing or actively thinking about the material.(3)Make material personally meaningful.(4)Use mnemonic devices: associate with peg (标记性) words--something already stored;make up story;chunk--acronyms.(5)Activate retrieval cues--mentally recreate situation and mood(6)Recall events while they are fresh-- before you encounter misinformation(7)Minimize interference(8)Test your own knowledge:rehearse;determine what you do not yet know.CHAPTER 3 Developmental Psychology1 .

Harlow’s Surrogate Mother ExperimentsMonkeys preferred contact with the comfortable cloth mother, even whilefeeding from the nourishing wire mother.d. Critical Periodan optimal period shortly after birth when an organism’s exposure to certain stimuli or experiences produces proper development.e. Monkeys raised by artificial mothers were terror-stricken when placed in strange situations without their surrogate mothers.f. Imprintingthe process by which certain animals form attachments during a critical period very early in life.h. Basic Trust (Erik Erikson)(1)a sense that the world is predictable and trustworthy(2)said to be formed during infancy by appropriate experiences with responsive caregiversi. Self-Concepta sense of one’s identity and personal worthAddition: Child-Rearing Practices①Authoritarian: parents impose rules and expect obedience②Permissive:submit to children’s desires, make few demands, use little punishment③Authoritative:both demanding and responsive;set rules, but explain reasons and encourage open discussion3. AdolescenceTips: Adolescence-----the transition period from childhood to adulthood.extending from puberty(青春期)to independencePuberty-----the period of sexual maturation.when a person becomes capable of reproduction.Throughout childhood, boys and girls are similar in height. At puberty, girls surge ahead briefly, but then boys overtake them at about age 14. A. Kohlberg’s Moral LadderPostconventional level Morality of abstract principles: to affirm agreed-upon rightsand personal ethical principles.Conventional level Morality of law and social rules: to gain approval or avoiddisapproval.Preconventional level Morality of self-interest: to avoid punishment or gainconcrete rewards.B . Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial DevelopmentApproximate age Stage Description of Task Infancy(1st year) Trust vs. mistrust If needs are dependably met, infantsdevelop a sense of basic trust.Toddler(2nd year)Autonomy vs. Shame anddoubt Toddlers learn to exercise will and do things for themselves, or they doubt their abilities.Preschooler(3-5 years)Initiative vs. guilt Preschoolers learn to initiate tasksand carry out plans, or they feel guiltyabout efforts to be independent.Elementary(6 years-puberty)Competencevs. inferiorityChildren learn the pleasure ofapplying themselves to tasks, or theyfeel inferior.Adolescence(teens into 20’s)Identity vs. RoleconfusionTeenagers work at refining a sense ofself by testing roles and thenintegrating them to form a singleidentity, or they become confusedabout who they are.Young Adult(20’s to early 40’s)Intimacyvs. isolationYoung adults struggle to form closerelation-ships and to gain the capacityfor intimate love, or they feel sociallyisolated.Middle Adult (40’s to 60’s)Generativityvs. stagnationThe middle-aged discover a sense ofcontri-buting to the world, usuallythrough family and work, or they mayfeel a lack of purpose.Late Adult (late 60’s and up)Integrity vs.despair When reflecting on his or her life, theolder adult may feel a sense ofsatisfaction or failure.C . Social Developmenta. Identity: one’s sense of self. the adolescent’s task is to solidify a sense of self by testing and integrating various roles.b .Intimacy: the ability to form close, loving relationships. a primary developmental task in late adolescence and early adulthood.c.

-----典范英语八年级第四册《Titanic Survivor》泰坦尼克号幸存者chapter 14.人们称我为英雄。
我并不知道,因为在1912 年 4 月 15 日那天早些时候,有太多英雄。
那年我 21 岁。
作为一名船上无线电发报员,我工作了近一年了。
4 月 1 号那天,我在泰坦尼克号上开始了新工作。
5.我在 Belfast 第一次看到了船,惊叹地无法呼吸。
现在我明白为什么人们称之为“海上皇后”,泰坦尼克是最大的,也是最好的邮轮。
乘客们 4 月 10 号从南安普顿登船。
中午时,船出发开往纽约。
6.泰坦尼克号为头等舱乘客提供舒适的漂浮宾馆和豪华餐厅,图书馆和游泳池。
还有很多其他乘客。
很多人都是单程票,想在美国寻找新生活。
当然,这些人不允许接近高层的头等舱。
7.Jack Phillips 是一位高级无线电发报员。
他和我为富有的乘客发送了很多信息。
我们用摩斯电码发送信息。
有时要捕捉发回的信息很困难。
Jack 和我很快成为好友。
这是幸运的事,因为我们住在睡在发报间里!Chapter 2 冰山8.我们周日的时候特别忙。
4 月 14 号对于 Phillips 而言是漫长辛苦的一天。
我们收到了前面一些船只关于冰山警告的讯息。
Smith 船长知道这些,但他并没有担心——因为在“不会沉没的泰坦尼克上”。
Phillips 有太多乘客的信息要发送,他甚至打断了一条有关冰山警告的讯息。
9.我本该在那天后半夜开始工作,所以早早上床睡了。
事故发生时,我还睡着,浑然不知。
10. 船长过了几分钟回来,告诉我们船要沉了。
“发送求助呼叫,”他阴郁地说。
“是的,马上” Phillips 说,他开始用摩斯码发出船的位置信息和求救信息。
“不会沉没的船”就要沉没了,实在难以置信。
11.我们还没有感到担忧。
“你会看到生平第一座冰山,” Phillips 说。
有几艘船回应了我们,但他们都太远了。
当 Phillips 寻找近一些的船只时,我拿着信息跑到舰桥上,船员开始让乘客登上救生艇。
Chapter 3 Varieties of Language语言变体(varieties of language)可分为两类:一类是方言变体(dialectal varieties), 俗称方言;另一类是话语类变体(diatypic varieties), 亦称语域(register)。
方言是以语言的使用者(users)为基准而区分的语言变体;语域则是按照语言使用者对语言的使用(uses)而区分的语言变体。
因此,方言多与交际者的社会阶层、社会地位、地域、年龄、性别及所处的时代等因素有关,比较稳定;语域则多与交际者所从事的社会活动密切相关。
方言(Dialect):1) 语言使用者的个人特征(individuality)--Idiolect(语言的流利度、清晰度、表达能力大小等。
例:Mr X’s English, Mr Y’s English。
)2) 时代特征(temporal features)--Temporal Dialect3) 地域特征(geographical feature)--Regional Dialect4) 社会特征(social features)--Social DialectSocioeconomic status varieties 社会经济变体Ethnic varieties 种族变体Gender varieties 性别变体Age varieties 年龄变体5) 可理解的程度和范围—Standard Dialect方言(Dialects)具有社会指示功能,方言不仅能体现人物的地域特征,而且能反映出人物的社会地位、文化程度乃至个人性格,这一点在文学作品中最为明显语域(Register)1) Field of Discourse(话语范围/语场)Non-technical fields of discourseTechnical fields of discourse2) Mode of Discourse(话语方式/语式)Speech: conversing, monologuingWriting: texts written to be spoken as if not written/ written to be read3) Tenor of Discourse(话语基调/语基)Personal Tenor(个人基调)Functional Tenor(功能基调)1) Field of Discourse(话语范围/语场)话语范围指的是言语交际过程中发生的事情,进行的活动,论及的事情或表达的经验等,它能体现语言使用者在特定情境语境中所要实现的交际目的和作用。

English Reflection: Thoughts on Chapters 3 and 4 of "Classics and Common Talk"Reading Chapters 3 and 4 of "Classics and Common Talk" left me with a deep appreciation for the wisdom embedded within the classic texts and the author's insightful interpretation of them.Chapter 3 delves into the concept of "Classics" and their importance in Chinese culture. The author highlights the unique position of Classics in the Chinese literary canon, their influence on subsequent generations, and their role in shaping cultural values and moral standards. Through the author's analysis, I gained a deeper understanding of the significance of Classics in the historical and cultural context of China.Chapter 4 expands on the theme of Classics by exploring their relevance in modern society. The author discusses how the values and insights contained in Classics can still guide us in contemporary life, despite the significant changes in society and technology. This chapter encourages readers to seek wisdom from the past and apply it to present-day challenges, emphasizing the timeless value of Classics.Reading these chapters, I was reminded of the importance of maintaining a continuous dialogue with the past. Classics, being a repository of collective wisdom and experience, offer a valuable resource for understanding our own culture and history. Moreover, they provide guidance and inspiration for addressing the complexities of modern life.In conclusion, Chapters 3 and 4 of "Classics and Common Talk" have deepened my understanding of the significance and relevance of Classics in both historical and modern contexts. They have encouraged me to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and draw wisdom from its ancient texts.阅读《经典常谈》的第三、四章,我深感其中蕴含的智慧和对经典文本的独到解读令人叹服。
