98
Q

in classical conditioning:

before acquisition (resp is innate)

describe stimulus/response

A

unconditioned stimulus (UCS) –> unconditioned response (UCR)

UCS can be a scary noise

UCR can be the reaction (being startled)

99
Q

during acquisition in classical conditioning

NS can be a cue

100
Q

after acquisition (response is learned)

A

conditioned stimulus (CS) –> conditioned response (CR)

CS can be the cue

CR can be the reaction (being startled)

101
Q

eventually the biological response elicited by the neural stimulus (NS) is now…

A

the conditioned stimulus eliciting a conditioned response

102
Q

types of stressors (for few people)

A

daily hassle (MINOR - e.g. traffic jam)

personal life event (MAJOR - major life transition like divorce)

103
Q

catastrophe (MAJOR - natural disaster)

104
Q

general adaptation syndrome (GAS) describes…

A

how the body reacts to stress (acute or long-lasting)

105
Q

GAS stages

A

alarm stage

resistance stage

exhaustion stage

106
Q

alartm stage

A

1st stage

first few mins of stress response during which sympathetic NS activates (FIGHT OR FLIGHT)

heart/respiratory rate + blood sugar levels increase

stress hormones release

107
Q

resistance stage

A

2nd stage

last for hours (e.g. exercise), days (e.g. final exams), months (e.g. family tragedy)

body attempts to resist/address stressor

levels of stress hormones begin to return to normal

new equilibrium is established by body

108
Q

if stress continued over prolonged period, body enters…

A

exhaustion stage

109
Q

exhaustion stage

A

3rd stage

state of arousal but with depleted energy

chronic diseases can develop (high bp, heart disease)

body can’t resist stressor impact

110
Q

prefrontal cortex when stressed (chronic)

A

111
Q

amygdala when stressed (chronic)

A

112
Q

hippocampus when stressed (chronic)

A

113
Q

what hormones are released when you are stressed?

A

cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine from adrenal glands

114
Q

which parts of the brain are sensitive to stress hormones?

A

hippocampus, amygdala, prefrontal cortex

can demonstrate structural changes

115
Q

prefrontal cortex changes when stressed

A

decreases dendritic branching in areas associated w/ cognitive flexibility

results in reduced coping mechanisms
