Chapter 6

Unconscious processing

parelell processing

A

Processing many things at once, used most often in our everyday life

30
Q

Chapter 6

What are the 4 types of biological rythms

A

Infadian- over 24 hrs
Ultradian- Shorter period higher frequancy
Circadian- 24 hr (sleep-wake cycle)

31
Q

Chapter 6

Adaptive theory of sleep

A

We sleep for self preservation

32
Q

Chapter 6

Restorative theory of sleep

A

We sleep to restore our bodies, Strenghten neural connections and shift recent experiences from the hippocampus

33
Q

Chapter 6

Stage one of sleep

A

20 mins- Alpha to theta waves, hypnagogic state

34
Q

Chapter 6

Stage two of sleep

A

After 20 mins- slowing of brainwaves

35
Q

Chapter 6

Sleep spindles

A

bursts of rapid brain waves that aid in memory processing

36
Q

Chapter 6

Stage three of sleep

A

less than 30 mins- large slow delta waves, difficult to wake, bedwetting and sleep walking

37
Q

Chapter 6

Stage four

A

5-15 minutes- Brainwaves are like those of someone who is awake

38
Q

Chapter 6

Paradoxial sleep

A

deep sleep but lots of brain activity, motor cortex is active but brain stem blocks its messages

39
Q

Chapter 6

Acitvation-synthesis hypothesis

A

when sleeping brain is active and makes an effort to make sense of neural activities

40
Q

Chapter 6

Psychodynamic dream theory

A

Dreams are our unconscious thoughts, manifest content- actual event you recall. Latent content- unconscious elements (symbolic)

41
Q

Chapter 6

three types of drugs

A

Stimulants- Increases activity of cns
Hallucinagens- Dramatically change our state of awareness-
depressants-binds to gaba

42
Q

Chapter 6

Interferance theory

A

Proactive interferance-old info blocks new
Retroactive interference- new info blocks old

43
Q

Chapter 6

Serial Position effect

primary vs recency

A

primary-remember first words
recency-remember last

44
Q

Chapter 6

recall/recognition/relearning

A

recall- fill in the blank (info not currently in conscious)
recognitioinm- fill in the blank
relearning- learning something quicker the second time

45
Q

Chapter 6

Anatomy of memory

Prefrontal vs hippocampus

A

Prefrontal-active when aquiring new info
Hippocampus-Converts memory to Ltm

46
Q

Chapter 6

Long term potention (LTP)

A

the more stimulation in the brain the greater the likelyhood that the cells will respond, affects networks of neurons that makes up neural circuits.

47
Q

Chapter 6

Peferential looking

A

Babies look at/ focus on things that are new

48
Q

Chapter 6

Episodic memories

A

memories stored in hippocampus before being moved elsewhere

49
Q

Chapter 6

retrospective vs prospective memory

A

retrospective- remember content from the past
prospective- remembering content in the future

50
Q

Chapter 5

Bottom-up vs Top-down Processing

A

Bottom-up-New memory formed with no previous knowledge
Top-down- processing with prior knowledge or stimulus

51
Q

Chapter 5

Absolute threshold

A

The smallest amount of a stimulus that would cause you to detect it

52
Q

Chapter 5

Difference threshold

A

The minimal difference between two stimuli that is needed to differcimnate between the two

53
Q

Chapter 5

Sensory adaptation

A

repeated stimulation leads to reduced responce

54
Q

Chapter 5

Cones/Rods

A

transduce light waves into neural impulses, rods are used in night vision

55
Q

Chapter 5

Hue/Saturation

A

Hue-based on wavelength
Saturation-purity of colour

56
Q

Chapter 5

Trichromatic theory colours

A

blue green red

57
Q

Chapter 5

Movement of sound

A

tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window, coclea, basilar membrane

58
Q

Chapter 5

name the three ossicles

A

maleus, incus, stapes

59
Q

Chapter 5

5 taste receptors

A

sweet, sour, umami, bitter, salt

60
Q

Chapter 5

how we smell/taste

A

olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, neocortex

61
Q

Chapter 5

messner’s corpuscle/pacinan corpuscle/merkles disk

A

messner’s corpuscle- Low pressure/frequancy vibrations
Pacinan corpuscle- higher frequancy
Merkles disk- light pressure

62
Q

Chapter 8

Working memory

A

Holds 5-9 items for up to 30 seconds

63
Q

Chapter 8

3 types of WM

A

Central- supervisory
Phonological- spoken/written
episodic- links info from wm to ltm

64
Q

Chapter 8

Encoding

A

Iconic-sensory mem of visual stimuli
Echoic-auditory stimuli
Sematic-based on meaning

65
Q

Chapter 8

Habituation/ Dishabituation

A

Habituation-Stimulus is repeated, Reduced reaction
Dishabituation-Full strength recovery of responce of habituation

66
Q

Chapter 8

sensitization

A

stong stimulus exposure makes a weaker stimulus responce highly reactive

67
Q

Chapter 8

classical conditioning/ operant conditioning

A

Classical-Same responce,dif stimuli
Operant-responce based on what follows

68
Q

Chapter 8

Acquisition

A

First learning of the stimulus

69
Q

Chapter 8

Stimulus generalization/discrimination

A

generalization- every stimulus thats about the same elicits the same responce
discrimination-we descriminate between the cs and the other stimuli disreguading it

70
Q

Chapter 8

Operant conditioning

A

behaviour is modified based on it’s consequences

71
Q

Chapter 8

Learning disorders

A

Dyslexia-leftparitial lobe and temporal lobe
dyscalcula-left paretial lobe frontal cortex
