A free start with 3 generations a month and no credit card required.

Example AP psychology drugs flashcards

What is the main effect of SSRIs?They block reuptake of serotonin, leaving more serotonin in the synapse to act on receptors. They are commonly prescribed for depression and anxiety.

How do benzodiazepines produce their effect?They enhance GABA activity at GABA-A receptors, producing sedation, muscle relaxation and reduced anxiety.

What do typical antipsychotics like haloperidol target?Dopamine D2 receptors. Blocking them reduces positive symptoms of schizophrenia but can cause movement side effects.

What is physical dependence?A physiological adaptation to a drug so that stopping causes withdrawal symptoms. It differs from psychological dependence, which is a craving or compulsive use.

How do stimulants like amphetamine affect neurotransmitters?They increase the release and block the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine, boosting alertness and attention.

Frequently asked questions

What drug classes are usually on the AP Psychology exam?

Units on biological bases of behavior and psychopharmacology typically cover neurotransmitters and drug classes such as stimulants, depressants, antipsychotics and antidepressants, along with how each affects the synapse. Check your course outline for the exact list.

How should I study drug names for AP Psychology?

Group drugs by mechanism and effect instead of memorizing names alone, such as agonists versus antagonists or reuptake inhibitors. Then test yourself with short-answer questions on side effects and dependence risk.
