Neural correlates AO3

A

+ Practical application: brain scans for diagnosis; surgery; pacemaker
+ Objective
+ Reduce stigma
- Correlation vs causation: genes, dopamine, trauma can all cause, or can be effect

Q

Cognitive AO1

A

Dysfunctional thought processing
LACK OF

  • meta-representation: inability to recognise own thoughts/behaviour –> auditory hallucinations (voice in head is their own)
  • central control: inability to suppress automatic response while performing a deliberate task –> disorganised speech

Q

Differences between typical and atypical

A

Atypical:
- positive and negative
- serotonin/dopamine (glutamate clozapine)
- clozapine/risperidone

Typical:
- positive only
- dopamine only
- chlorpromazine

17
Q

Biological treatment AO3

A

+ Works well with CBT
+ 1121, 13 (T)
+ 30-50% (AT)
- Side effects (NMS + tardive dyskinesia)
–> risperidone
+ accessible, easier

18
Q

CBT AO3

A
  • Doctors do not advise (6.9% of 187)
    + NICE recommends (34 studies- small but significant effects)
    + Mafia case study (Turkington)
  • Alternative explanation
19
Q

Token economy key words

A

Take rewards away
Desirable behaviour
Get back to normal

20
