Exam 2 Flashcards
awarebessof both external and int stimuli such as feelings of hunger and pain
consciousness
high levels of sensory awareness, thought, behavior
wakefulness
low levels of physical activity and reduced sensory awareness
sleep
int cycle of biological activity increases
biological rythems
fluctuation of body temp, individual menstrual cycle, level of alertness are all what
biological rythems
biological rhythm
biological rhythm occurs over approx 24 hours
what is circadian rhythm generated by
suprachaismatic nucleaus
what controls homeostasis
hypothalamus
what releases melatonin
pineal gland
sleep wake cycle regulated by what
melatonin
symptoms resulting from mismatch btw our int circadian rhythm and enviroment
jet lag
work schedule that changes from early to late on a weekly basis
rotating shift work
sleep deprived individual tend to take a shorter time to fall asleep
sleep rebound
result of insufficient sleep on chronic basis
sleep debt
sleep associated hormones
melatonin, follicle stim, lutenizing, growth hormone
two hypothesis of sleep
sleep is essential to restore resources expended during the day, sleep is adaptive response to predators roaming at night
focuses on sleeps importance for cognitive function and memory formation
cognitive function theories
relatively low freq, high amplitude, synchronized
alpha
barely dozed off, what brain wave
alpha
low freq, moderately low amplitude
theta
light sleep, what brainwave
theta
low freq, high amplitude, desynchronized
delta
deep sleep, what brainwave
delta
transit phase occurring between wakefulness and sleep, rate of respiration and HB slow down, what stage
stage 1
body goes into deep relaxation, characterized by appearance of sleep spindles and k complex
stage 2
tight waves have what
high freq
k complexes have what
high amplitude
slow wave; respiration and HR slow down further
stage 3
slow wave indicates what
deep sleep
paralysis of voluntary muscles
REM sleep
brainwaves in REM sleep look similar to what
those seen during wakefulness
more REM sleep on average
REM rebound
saw dreams as a way of gaining access to uncoscious
SIGmond Frued
actual content of dream is called..
mainfest content
hidden meaning of the dream is called what
latent content
believed that certain symbols in dreams reflected universal archetypes regardless of culture or location
carl jung
believed dream allowed us to tap into collective unconsciousness
Carl Jung
dreams represent life events that are important to the dreamer who said this
Cartwright and hobson
dreaming may represent a state of a virtual reality , who thought this
Cartwright and hobson,
certain aspects of wakefulness are maintained during a dreaming state
lucid dreams
diffuculty falling or staying asleep, for at least 3 nights a week for 1 month
insomnia
treatments for insomnia
stress management tech changes in problematic behavior, cognitive behavioral therapy
sleep walking and REM sleep behavior disorder
parasomnias
during what wave does sleepwalking usually occur
slow
occurs when muscle paralysis associated with REM doesn’t occur
REM sleep behavior disorder
uncomfortable sensation in legs when falling asleep
restless leg syndrome
sense of panic and may scream or attempt to escape
night terrors
occurs when individuals stop breathing in their sleep usually for 10-20 seconds or longer
sleep apnea
2 types of sleep apnea
obstructive and central
airway becomes blocked air can’t enter
obstructive sleep apnea
CNS fails to initiate breaths
central sleep apnea
occurs when infant stops breathing in sleep and dies
sudden infant death syndrome
which infants are at highest risk for SIDs
infants younger than 12 months
involves and irresistible urge to fall asleep during waking hours
narcolepsy
loss of muscle tone
cataplexy
vivid dream like hallucinations
hypogenic hallucinations
compulsive pattern of drug use despite negative consequences
substance use disorder
involves changes in normal bodily functions and withdrawal upon stopping use
physiological dependance
emotional need for the drug
psychological dependance
person requires more and more of subs to get same effect
tolerance
neg symptoms exp when drug use is discontinued
withdrawl
drugs that suppress CNS,
depressantsin
include alcohol, barbituants, benzodiazepines
depressants
increase neural activity
stimulants
include coke, amphetamine, MDMA
stimulants
increases levels of alertness and arousal
caffiene
common in tobacco prod like cig, chewing tobacco, ecigs
nicotine
interacts with acetylcholine receptors
nicotine
serve as analgesics thru their effects on the endogenous opiod neurotransmitter system
opiods
opiates occur…
naturally
opioids are…
synthetic
causes changes in sensory or perceptual experinces
hallucinogens
ext focus on the self that involves suggested changes of behavior and experince
hypnosis
act of being fully aware of the present moment which can be achieved thru focusing on a single target
mediation
sensory info detecte dby sensory receptor
sensation
conversion of sensory stem energy into action potentials
transduction
min amount of a stim needed for us to notice it 50% of the time
absolute threshold
min amount of charge in stim needed to detect a diff (noticeable difference)
difference threshold
steps of stimulus to brain
stimulus -> sensory -> neural impulses -> brain
basic sensory features analyzed and recombined
bottom up procesing
