Here are definitions and examples for the following situations (good format for answering the frqs on the ap test)

Explanation:

The amygdala is linked to emotion (anger and fear). Nisha getting angry over not winning prizes is caused by the amygdala. Approach-approach conflict is when you need to decide between two appealing options. This applies when the friends were choosing between eating cotton candy and popcorn.The arousal theory says that we are driven to do things that cause high levels of arousal. The friends were driven to go on roller coasters to increase their arousal.Informational social influence is changing our opinions to fit the social environment's. For example, Purvik may have wanted to go on a different roller coaster until the rest of their friends wanted to go on a different one, so they changed their opinion to fit what the friends were saying. Motion parallax is a monocular depth cue where we think closer things move faster than tings farther away. A ride at the carnival may be going slower than one behind, but Nisha believes that the closer ride is going faster.Taste aversion is a learned response when eating a food that tastes unpleasant to avoid it. Purvik may throw up after eating cotton candy and want to avoid it from there on. Vestibular sense is the sense of body movement/position, including balance. On a carnival game that involved balancing on rope, Nisha's vestibular sense helped her balance on it and win a prize.
