Chapter 5 Variations In Consciousness Flashcards
What other bodily functions follow Process C (circadian)?
Sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, blood pressure, hormones, digestion
when you travel East, you _____ time
lose
What are two processes of biological rhythms
Process C and S
Activation Information Modulation (AIM) [Dreaming]
theory :
dreams are initiated in the pons ->
sends random signals to the cortex (involved in particular waking behaviors) (related to working dream)
Psychodynamic (Freudian) of dreaming
-Wish fulfillment
-Manifest content vs. Latent Content
Not getting enough sleep might affect the _________…makes you _______!
amygdala, cranky
Activation-Synthesis and AIM (Dreaming)
Do NOT reject the view of unconscious wishes, BUT suggest that scenario might not be as random
Manifest content vs. Latent Content
What we remembered storyline vs. hidden meaning that is actual or underlying wishes
Alpha Brain Wave
Deep relaxation + Mediation
Activation-Synthesis Theory (dream)
-dreams = side effects of random neural activation
-stimulates memories stored in the brain.
-brain takes chaotic memories and weaves them into a rationale, logical storyline.
what are the sleep disorders
Insomnia
Hypersomnia
Narcolepsy
Breathing-Related Sleep Disorder (Sleep Apnea)
Nightmare Disorder
Sleep Terror Disorder
Sleepwalking Disorder
REM sleep behavior disorder
Why do we sleep? (5 reasons)
- don’t know exactly
- Evolutionary Perspective- hard to gather food at night
- Replenishes and restores our bodies
- Onset of REM sleep stops the release of NTs
- Assist in physical growth & brain development. Release of growth hormones associated with sleep
Beta Brain Wave
Normal waking thought + Alret Problem solving
if you dreamed that you were being chased by an ominous creature through the dark streets of a strange city and there’s a hidden meaning behind this dream. What is the example of this?
Manifest content vs. Latent Content
Delta Brain Wave
Deep Sleep
men or women fall asleep quicker, in longer periods, and more deeply?
Women
What does REM sleep stands for?
Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
Theta Brain Wave
Light Sleep = Day Dreaming
Both Process S and Process C struggle..
sleep versus wakefulness
Both Process S and Process C influences by…
genes and external factors (e.g., food, drugs, meal times, naps, stress, exercise, daily schedules, alarm clocks
What is evolutionary perspective of why we sleep
it harder to gather food at night
Process S (Sleep) is designed to…
homeostatic sleep drive from substances in brain
What is the effects of jet lag when u shorten the day?
lose time
What is function of monoamines?
permits receptor cells to get necessary rest and increase sensitivity during wakefulness
As people age, they get _______ sleep
less
Evolutionary Theory of Dreaming
-allows us to process information critical to our survival. -Inherited from our early animal ancestors…ways to process information 24hrs/day.
- Allows for consolidation of memories
what happens to your brain and body during REM sleep?
BRAIN: stops the release of NTs =monoamines - permits receptor cells to get necessary rest and increase sensitivity during wakefulness
BODY:
-heart rate increases & becomes irregular
-blood pressure rises,
-breathing increases
-major muscles of the body appear paralyzed (paradoxical sleep)
when you travel west, you _____ time
gain
Process C (circadian) is designed to…
keep you awake (biological clock) and follow 24 hours
what Replenishes and restores our bodies (why do we sleep) reduced?
the activity of the brain during non-REM sleep may give neurons chance to repair
