stuff I am extra cooked on Flashcards
what are the circles in the presynaptic neuron called
vesticles
adaptive plasticity vs developmental
adaptive = damage
developmental = time
why does cortisol harm the immune system
what do mnemonics do
link new info with old info for better encoding
what must the method of loci use
well known locations
SEWB
- everything works together - physical, psycho, spiritual
- wellbeing is maintained by staying connected
what are some dimensions
- connection to culture: values + traditions
- connection to family/kinship: direct and wider
- connection to country: geographical and spiritual
what are the determinants
historical, cultural and social
cultural continuity
its about how you connect with culture and how this is continued. it is personal and different for everyone. e.g. spending time outdoors, talking to elders, participating in ceremony
self determination
about being empowered and proud of culture and history
quantitive data
- numbers
- collection is systematic and controlled
generalisable
- sample must be representative of population
- a larger sample is more generalisable
convienience sampling
- easy to recruit
- unlikely to represent population
conclusions and evaluating
- describe/ explain results
- discuss relation to hypothesis/aim
- explore limitations- discuss issues/errors and how they affect validity
- make recommendations of modifications or extensions to investigation
controlled experiment
systematically manipulate data
correlation study
- non-experimental
- variables are observers and measured
- they are less invasive and may identify further areas of study
- measure strength and direction of variables
case study
one instance of brasier phenomenon
- data is rich and highly detailed
- specific to one case and hard to generalise
lit review
a report summarising scientific research
- organise what is already known
- sources should be evaluated for credibility and suitability
between subjects
different groups
- if DV scores are significantly different the hypothesis is supported
random errors
unpredictable variations
systematic errors
consistent variations
personal errors
mistakes
ethical concept
justice, respect, beneficence, integrity, non-maleficence (JR BIN)
concepts description
justice= fair distribution
respect= choice/autonomy
beneficence= doing good
integrity= truth/transparency
non-maleficence= avoiding harm
ethical guidelines
confidentiality, debriefing, informed consent, deception, voluntary participation, withdrawal rights (DIVCWD)
what is memory
psychobiological processes that allows past experiences to help us interpret and respond to current experiences
(link past to current and future)
what is episodic future thinking
allows us to imagine how we will expeirence events in the future from a first person perspective using previously seen information
what are the early symptoms of alzheimers
- severe anterograde amnesia (Episodic auto-biographical memory, semantic memory)
- difficulty with episodic future thinking
- damage to hippocampus
- difficulty generating voluntary mental imagery
what are mnemonics
techniques that help encode and retrieve information in a meaningful way
sung narrative
uses singing, music and dance to tell stories
- knowledge is passed down through ancestors
-physical locations are linked to songs
song lines enhancing encoding and retrieval
multiple modes of rehersal
* emotional scaffold
* rhythm and melody increases accuracy
* series of events makes it meaningful
NREM stage 1
-Transition between sleep and wakefulness
-People can be woken easily
-Lasts 2-10 mins
-4 or 5% of total sleep time
-Hypnic Jerk
NREM stage 2
-“Truly asleep”
-Harder to wake from
-Lasts 10-25 mins in first sleep cycle. Lengthens approximately to 20-30 mins
-45 or 55% of total sleep time
NREM stage 3
-Difficult to awaken from
-Known as deep/slow wave sleep
-Muscles are relaxed, limited eye movements
Characteristics of Stage 3 NREM
-First occurs one hour into the sleep cycle
-Can last 20-40 mins. Decreases in length as the
night progresses
-Often where sleep disturbances occur
progressive alzheimers
retrograde amnesia
* loss of semantic knowledge
* inability to perform practiced tasks-procedural memory
what is episodic future thinking
allows us to imagine how we will expeirence events in the future from a first person perspective using previously seen information

what is memory
psychobiological processes that allows past experiences to help us interpret and respond to current experiences
(link past to current and
energising and authentic support
Energising = enthusiasm and determination to complete task, goal
* authentic= truth and integrity-truly listen and connects
mindfulness meditation
Focus attention on breathing with thoughts feelings and sensations being experienced freely
* Attention- focus on present moment
* Acceptance - observe feelings and sensations without judgment
cognitive behavioural strategies
Recognise how negative/unproductive thought patters affect emotions
* The way a person thinks determines how they feel
* Education about body reaction to stress
* Teaching relaxation and breathing techniques
psychoeducation
given information t better understand condition and manage it
- Challenging thoughts - supporter help challenge excessive and unreasonable thoughts through asking questions to develop a balance
pov - Social intervention - supporter should not encourage or critises avoidance behaviour but instead provide an alternative
systematic desensitisation
- counterconditioning used to reduce anxiety when in presence of phobic stimulus
- associate phobic stimulus with reaction response using classical conditioning principles
Learn a relaxation technique - breathing retraining and then create fear hierarchy and then complete on nphobic persons
term
CBT
Cognitive benaviour strategies lo recognise and change negative thinking/behaviour patterns
*
cognitve= identify irrational thinking patterns and replace with realistic thoughts
* behaviour= modify iunhelpful behaviours
cognitive bias
systematic errors in judgment
* Memory bias- remember negative threat related info over positive information/ alter memory
- Catastrophic thinking - overestimates potential dangers assuming the worst-predicting the future outcome that may be unrealistic/irrational
stress
phychisiological/psychological response to situation that is threatening/challenging exceeding ability to cope
Stress in dual continuum - lower sense of wellbeing- reduce functioning
- put at risk of mental health problem/disorder
resilience
respond adaptively to stressful life events and cope with uncertainty
- Developed through practise and participation in supportive wellbeing activeties
What do low amplitude, high frequency brain waves indicate?
REM sleep (awake and alert)
What do low-medium amplitude, medium-high frequency indicate?
NREM Stage 1 (deeply relaxed or meditative state
What do medium-high amplitude, low medium frequency indicate?
NREM Stage 2 (early or light sleep)
