5.7 Comparison of Approaches

• What is the biological approach in psychology focused on?

  Genetics and neurochemistry
• What are key concepts of the biological approach?

  Genes, neurotransmitters, hormones
• What does the cognitive approach emphasize?

  Mental processes
• Which type of conditioning is a key concept of the learning approach?

  Classical conditioning
• What is a key concept of the psychodynamic approach?

  Unconscious mind
• The humanistic approach focuses on individual growth and self-actualization.
• Match the approach with its key concepts:

  Biological ↔️ Genes, neurotransmitters

  Cognitive ↔️ Information processing, schema

  Learning ↔️ Reinforcement, punishment

  Psychodynamic ↔️ Unconscious mind, defense mechanisms

  Humanistic ↔️ Free will, self-concept
• What level of determinism is implied by the biological approach?

  Determinism
• The cognitive approach assumes mental processes affect behavior, implying information processing.
• What does the learning approach suggest about behavior acquisition?

  Conditioning and reinforcement
• The biological approach implies that behavior is influenced by genetics and neurochemistry
• Match the approach with its key methods:

  Biological ↔️ Brain scans, genetic studies

  Cognitive ↔️ Experiments, observation

  Learning ↔️ Experimental conditioning

  Psychodynamic ↔️ Case studies, dream analysis

  Humanistic ↔️ Interviews, self-assessment
• What does the psychodynamic approach focus on to understand behavior?

  Unconscious drives
• The humanistic approach often uses interviews and qualitative analysis to understand unique perspectives
• What are key concepts in the biological approach to psychology?

  Genes, neurotransmitters, hormones
• The cognitive approach emphasizes mental processes like perception and memory.
• What does the learning approach explain behavior through?

  Classical and operant conditioning
• The psychodynamic approach highlights unconscious drives and early childhood experiences
• What are key concepts in the humanistic approach to psychology?

  Free will, self-concept, unconditional positive regard
• Match the key concepts with their corresponding approaches:

  Biological ↔️ Genes, neurotransmitters, hormones

  Cognitive ↔️ Information processing, schema, cognitive functions

  Learning ↔️ Reinforcement, punishment, association

  Psychodynamic ↔️ Unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, psychosexual stages

  Humanistic ↔️ Free will, self-concept, unconditional positive regard
• What is the biological approach's explanation for behavior?

  Genetic and chemical processes
• The cognitive approach believes mental processes affect behavior.
• The learning approach explains behavior through reinforcement, punishment, and association
• What are the key concepts in the psychodynamic approach?

  Unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, psychosexual stages
• What does the humanistic approach focus on in explaining behavior?

  Growth and self-actualization
• What are the key concepts of the biological approach in psychology?

  Genes, neurotransmitters, hormones
• The cognitive approach emphasizes mental processes such as information processing and schema
• The learning approach explains behavior through reinforcement, punishment, and association
• What are the key concepts of the psychodynamic approach in psychology?

  Unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, psychosexual stages
• The humanistic approach emphasizes concepts such as free will and unconditional positive regard
• Arrange the key approaches in psychology based on their focus on human behavior from determinism to free will.
