| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Consciousness | STATE of AWARENESS of OURSELVES and the WORLD around us |
| States of Consciousness | LEVELS of consciousness RANGING from ALERT wakefulness to UNCONSCIOUS during sleep throughout the day/sleep |
| Selectivity | ABILITY to DIRECT our ATTENTION to CERTAIN events while FILTERING out extraneous stimuli |
| Sleeping & Dreaming | UNAWARE of our EXTERNAL environment, yet RESPONSIVE to CERTAIN stimuli |
| How can lowest level of consciousness be achieved? | head trauma, coma or anesthesia |
| How much of our life is spent sleeping? | 1/3 |
| Circadian Rythm | PATTERN of FLUCTUATIONS in body TEMP, HORMONES, BLOOD PRESSURE. REGULATE bodily PROCESSES in a 24 hour period(body temp falls lower in the middle of the night) |
| Protective Function(sleep) | less conspicuous to predators |
| To Conserve Energy Function(sleep) | lower body temperature and allows for warmer temperature during the day |
| Restore Bodily Processes Function(sleep) | help replenish proteins used by the body & for the brain to recover from daily wear-n-tear |
| Freud's Belief in Dreams | dreams REPRESENT a form of wish FULFILLMENT, our dreams contain SYMBOLS that represent underlying WISHES, usually of a SEXUAL or AGGRESSIVE nature |
| Define Sleep Deprivation | most adults REQUIRE 7-9 hours, sleep patterns CHANGE throughout the life cycle |
| Stage 1 of Sleep | LIGHT sleep, EASILY awakened |
| Stage 2 of Sleep | DEEPER sleep, still READILY awakened |
| Stage 3 of Sleep | DEEP sleep, DIFFICULT to AROUSE sleeper |
| Stage 4 of Sleep | DEEPEST level |
| REM(Rapid Eye Movement)-Paradoxical Sleep | eyes MOVE under CLOSED lids; DREAMING occurs; HIGH level of BRAIN ACTIVITY but MUSCLE activity is BLOCKED, almost being PARALYZED |
| Classical Conditioning-Ivan Pavlov- | LEARNED by RESPONSE |
| Unconditioned Response(CC) | UNLEARNED BEHAVIOR; dog salivates while eating |
| Unconditioned Stimulus(CC) | STIMULUS that INITIATED RESPONSE; the dog's food |
| Neutral Stimulus(CC) | does NOT elicit response by ITSELF, when PAIRED with Unconditioned Response, subject ACQUIRES a LEARNED RESPONSE |
| Conditioned Response(CC) | RESPONSE to the NEUTRAL stimulus; sound |
| Path of Classical Conditioning | a previously Neutral Stimulus BECOMES a Conditional Stimulus when PAIRED with an Unconditioned Stimulus, it BEGINS to ELICIT the Conditioned Response |
| What did Pavlov observe? | the STRENGTH of the Conditioned Response; AMOUNT of SALIVATION |
| Extinction(CC) | gradual WEAKENING & eventual DISSAPEARANCE of a Conditional Response |
| Spontaneous Recovery(CC) | the spontaneous RETURN of a Conditioned Response FOLLOWING Extinction |
| Stimulus Generalization(CC) | tendency of STIMULI that are SIMILAR to Conditional Stimulus to ELICIT a Conditioned Response. this has SURVIVAL value, allows us to RESPOND to a RANGE of STIMULI that are SIMILAR to an ORIGINAL threatening STIMULUS |
| Deja-Vu(CC) | an EMOTIONAL REACTION that is a Conditioned Response to GENERALIZED stimuli in the environment that RESEMBLED Conditioned Stimuli ENCOUNTERED BEFORE |
| John Watson(CC) | FEAR RESPONSE; rat coupled with loud noise elicit Conditioned emotional reaction |
| Phobias(CC)-John Watson- | EXCESSIVE fears that may be ACQUIRED through Classical Conditioning |
| Operant Conditioning | the PROCESS of LEARNING in which the CONSEQUENCES of a response DETERMINE the PROBABILITY that the RESPONSE will be REPEATED |
| B.F. Skinner(OC) | believed human BEHAVIOR is completely DETERMINED by ENVIRONMENTAL and GENETIC influences |
| Radical Behaviorism(OC)-Skinner- | ENVIRONMENTAL & GENETIC influence in BEHAVIOR; Psychologists should LIMIT themselves to the STUDY of OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOR |
| Instrumental Learning(OC) | behavior is INSTRUMENTAL in bringing about REWARDING consequences. the LONGER reinforcement is DELAYED, the WEAKER it's EFFECTS will be |
| Reinforcer(OC) | STIMULUS or EVENT that INCREASES the PROBABILITY that the RESPONSE it FOLLOWS will be REPEATED |
| Positive Reinforcement(OC) | raising hand and being called on |
| Negative Reinforcement(OC) | buckling up because of annoying beep in car |
| Cognitive Learning | LEARNING that occurs WITHOUT the opportunity of FIRST PERFORMING the learned response or being reinforced for it |
| Insight Learning(CL) | PROCESS of WORKING through a PROBLEM until the sudden REALIZATION of a SOLUTION occurs; math |
| Latent Learning(CL) | occurs WITHOUT REINFORCEMENT and that is NOT displayed until REINFORCEMENT is PROVIDED; athletes getting no ice time |
| Observational Learning(CL) | LEARNING by IMITATING BEHAVIOR we OBSERVE in OTHERS; they are considered the MODEL; VICARIOUS learning or MODELING |
