Outline and Evaluate Biological Explanation for Mental Illness The Biomedical model of Mental Illness states that metal illness is caused by either a physical problem with the brain‚ for example that some schizophrenic patients have parts of there hippocampus missing. Genetics‚ meaning that you inherit a genetic pre-disposition to depression or some other mental illness as someone in your close family had that mental illness‚ or down to neurotransmitter (serotonin‚ dopamine...) imbalances in

Outline and Evaluate the Working Memory Model The working memory model is a theory for how short-term memory works‚ and an expansion of the views expressed in the MSM theory. Baddeley and Hitch in 1974 felt that STM was not just one store but a collection of different stores. These concepts lead them to form a model which consists of three slave systems; the central executive‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. They used the phrase ‘working memory’ to refer to the division of

Outline and evaluate the biological model of abnormality (12 marks) The biological model of abnormality is the idea that all behaviour is rooted in underlying physical processes. The biological model of abnormality assumes that there is a physiological reason for psychological disorders. The disorders are considered an illness and supposedly make a person with these ’disorders’ abnormal. The model indicates that mental illnesses resemble physical illnesses and are thought to be treated in a similar

Baddeley and Hitch (1974) developed an alternative model of short-term memory which they called the working memory model. The working memory model consists of four components. The central executive which controls and co-ordinates the operation of two subsystems‚ the phonological loop and the visuo-spatial sketchpad. The central executive controls attention and coordinates the actions of the other components‚ it can briefly store information‚ but has a limited capacity. The phonological loop consists

The behavioural model suggest that all behaviours – including abnormality – is learnt. It suggests that we have very few innate characteristics that we are born with. According to the behavioural model there are three ways in which we learn‚ these include classical + operant conditioning and social learning theory. Classical conditioning is learning by associated‚ this is when we create a new stimulus response link by associating one stimulus to a response. For example little albert was conditioned

is Baumol model. As an alternative to profit maximization model‚ Baumol model works on the correlation between price and output decision with the objective of maximizing sales revenue‚ subjected to minimum profit constraint by shareholders. In profit maximization model‚ profit is maximized at the output where Marginal Revenue (MR) is equaled to Marginal Cost (MC) whereas Baumol Model emphasizes on maximizing sales revenue (TR) and may miss the MC = MR point to achieve its goal. This model argues that

by the Multi-Store Model was far too simple. Following the Multi-Store Model‚ it is believed that STM holds limited amounts of information for short periods of time with relatively little processing‚ it is believed to be a unitary store. This means that due to its single store it has no subsystems‚ unlike the Working Memory Model which has many subsystems. This proves that the Working Memory is not a unitary store. Working Memory is STM. In contrast to the Multi-Store Model‚ where all the information

Lana Del Rey is a famous singer. She is American and sings all over the word. She barely sings in the USA though. Her music has won many awards for her music and certain songs have won their own awards. Many of her songs have made charts and made it high in the charts. She describes herself as a Roman Catholic.

The Working Memory Model (WMM) is a theory by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974. The theory replaces the idea that there is a single Short Term Memory (STM) from Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)‚ it suggests that the STM is a flexible multi-component system. The WMM suggests that the STM is controlled by the Central Executive (CE) which controls attention‚ planning and synthesising information. The Central Executive is a flexible system which means it can process audio‚ visual and sound information‚ it also
