Consciousness Part One   show
🗑
show During the first half of the last century behaviorism avoided the study of this, focusing on direct observation of our actions. By 1960, this study was revived by psychologists' renewed interest in mental processes  
🗑
show Refers to a pattern of biological functioning that occurs on a roughly 24-hour cycle. The impact of this is best illustrated by fluctuations in energy level and alertness across the span of the day  
🗑
show This is influenced by light-sensitive retinal proteins that trigger signals to the suprachiasmatic nucleus.  
🗑
show Our inability to fall asleep early as we had planned is most likely a reflection of this. With the approach of night our body temperatures begin to drop  
🗑
show Repeats itself every 90 minutes  
🗑
Stage 1   show
🗑
show Breathing pattern and heart rate slows down. Slight decrease in body temperature  
🗑
Stage 3 and Stage 4   show
🗑
show Rapid eye movement. Brainwaves speed up and dreaming occurs. Muscles relax and heart rate increases. Breathing is rapid and shallow  
🗑
show Are associated with a relaxed but awake state  
🗑
show Are rhythmic bursts of brain activity during Stage 2  
🗑
Delta Waves   show
🗑
show May occur during any stage of sleep  
🗑
show This occurs during Stage 1. The feeling of falling or floating  
🗑
show As sleep progresses, Stage 3 and 4 diminishes and this occurs  
🗑
show Our nervous system is highly active, while our voluntary muscles are very relaxed and hardly move. During REM sleep, your heart begins to beat faster, your breathing increases and irregular, and your eyes dart back and forth while being closed  
🗑
show Genital Arousal and Vivid Dreams  
🗑
show Even if you don't think you dream, research suggests that you would report a vivid dream if awoken during REM Sleep  
🗑
show Are both genetically and culturally influenced  
🗑
show Some people function well with fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night, while others need 9 or more hours. People in countries without electric lights generally sleep longer  
🗑
show Found that daily moods of working women were most heavily influenced by a good night's sleep  
🗑
Chronic Sleep Debt   show
🗑
Sleep Deprivation   show
🗑
Traffic Accident Rates   show
🗑
show Need a lot of sleep because their high waking metabolism produces free radicals that are toxic to neurons  
🗑
show 60 year-old spend less time in deep sleep  
🗑
show Appears to play an important role in physical growth. The pituitary gland releases a growth hormone during slow-wave sleep  
🗑
show Promotes effective memory. Researchers have demonstrated that people trained to perform tasks recall them better after a night's sleep than after several hours awake  
🗑
show Difficulty going to sleep and staying asleep. Relax and drink a glass of milk before bedtime. Do not drink alcohol before bedtime  
🗑
show An extreme tendency to fall asleep whenever in relaxing surroundings. It is linked to a lack of neurotransmitter orexin. Would be incapacitating for drivers. Risk falling asleep while driving  
🗑
show A disorder involving the cessation of breathing during sleeping. Obesity is a risk factor for developing. People with this do not recall being awake and gasping for air, then falling back asleep  
🗑
Night Terrors   show
🗑
Manifest Content   show
🗑
Manifest Content Example   show
🗑
show According to Freud, the underlying personally threatening and censored meaning of a dream  
🗑
Latent Content Example   show
🗑
Content of Dreams   show
🗑
show After this, people commonly report an increase in threatening dreams  
🗑
show Anything that happens during this time period is typically lost from memory  
🗑
Consolidate Our Meomries   show
🗑
show Research suggests that this provides the sleeping brain with periodic physiological stimulation. The emotional tone of our dreams is likely to be influenced by activation of the limbic system during REM sleep  
🗑
Brain Activity Associated With REM Sleep Example   show
🗑
Activation Synthesis Theory Part One   show
🗑
show The brain activity associated with dreaming is helpful for developing and preserving neural pathways in the brain  
🗑
REM Sleep In Infants   show
🗑
REM Sleep for Kids   show
🗑
show The tendency for REM Sleep to increase following REM Sleep deprivation. Most mammals experience this which indicates that dreaming serves as a necessary biological function  
🗑
show If participants of a sleep-research study are disturbed during REM sleep for three nights, when allowed to sleep undisturbed they will likely experience an increase in REM Sleep  
🗑
Hypnosis Part One   show
🗑
show Hypnotic Responsiveness is measured by the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale. Most people that score high on the scale have a rich fantasy life.  
🗑
Age Regression   show
🗑
Age Regression Example   show
🗑
Posthypnotic Suggestion   show
🗑
show Just prior to awakening from a hypnotic state, a therapist suggesting that you will feel nauseous whenever you reach for a cigarette  
🗑
Hypnotically Age-Regressed   show
🗑
show Research indicates that memories retrieved during hypnosis are often a combination of this  
🗑
show Researchers have demonstrated that hypnosis can be used to treat this  
🗑
Local Anesthesia   show
🗑
show Hypnotic phenomena are regulated by normal conscious processes. Advocates of social influence theory argue that hypnotized people are simply enacting the role of good hypnotic subjects through conscious role playing  
🗑
Social Influence Theory Example   show
🗑
show Hypnosis involves dissociation

show Refers to a state of divided consciousness; some thoughts occur simultaneously and yet separate from other thoughts  
🗑
Divided Consciousness Theory Example   show
🗑
A Unified Approach   show
🗑
show People hypnotized for pain relief show activity in brain areas that receive pain sensations but not in brain areas that make us consciously aware of pain  
🗑
Hypnosis Brain Activity Example   show
🗑
show Chemical substances, such as alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine that alter perceptions and moods.  
🗑
show The reduced effect of a drug resulting for its regular usage. It results in the need to take larger and larger doses of a drug in order to experience its effects  
🗑
Neuroadaption   show
🗑
show The discomfort and distress that follow the discontinued use of certain drugs. Symptoms include: Physical pains and intense cravings  
🗑
show Drugs that calm neural activity and slow body functions  
🗑
Alcohol   show
🗑
show Prescribed as tranquilizers. Drugs such as Nembutal, Seconal, and Amytal are used to treat insomnia. Sodium Pentothal been called a "truth serum" because it relaxes people and enables them to more freely disclose personally embarrassing experiences  
🗑
show When the brain is flooded with artificial opiates such as morphine and heroin, the brain stops producing endorphins. Effects include: Slowed breathing, constricted pupils, reduced and anxiety and feelings of blissful pleasure  
🗑
show Drugs that excite neural activity and arouse body functions  
🗑
Cocaine   show
🗑
show Diminished appetite, increased pulse rate, dilated pupils, and feelings of self-confidence and euphoria  
🗑
show This can trigger 8 hours or so of heightened energy and euphoria. The British government classifies the highly addictive crystallized form of this one of the most dangerous drugs

Ecstasy Causes   show
🗑
show One of the immediate effects is dehydration

🗑

🗑
show An altered state of consciousness that is most similar to a drug-induced hallucination. These are often accompanied by visions of bright lights.  
🗑
