Study Notes

Biological Rhythms

  • Circadian rhythm refers to biological rhythms occurring approximately every 24 hours.
  • Sleep cycle operates as a circadian rhythm, influencing sleep patterns and behaviors.

Dream Analysis

  • Sigmund Freud theorized that dreams have two types of content: manifest (actual storyline) and latent (hidden meanings).
  • Latent content is the term for the underlying significance of dreams.

Sleep Disorders

  • Somnambulism is the technical term for sleepwalking.
  • Sleep apnea involves episodes where breathing stops during sleep.
  • REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is characterized by eye movements, indicating active dreaming.
  • REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) can lead to symptoms like kicking and punching during sleep.
  • Cataplexy occurs with narcolepsy, causing sudden muscle weakness and loss of tone.

Substance Dependence and Effects

  • Physical dependence on drugs is shown by changes in normal bodily functions when usage stops.
  • Tolerance is demonstrated when increased amounts of a substance are required for the same effect, as seen with marijuana use.
  • Psychological dependence on substances, like cigarettes, occurs without significant physical withdrawal symptoms.

Drug Classifications

  • Depressants, such as alcohol, suppress central nervous system activity.
  • Stimulants, like cocaine, increase overall neural activity.
  • Opioids (e.g., morphine) decrease pain, whereas hallucinogenic substances (e.g., mescaline) cause significant sensory distortions.

Medication Effects

  • Melatonin secretion is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light.
  • Crack cocaine is more addictive than cocaine due to its smokable form, leading to quicker brain absorption.

Hypnosis Theories

  • The social cognitive theory posits that individuals in a hypnotic state are merely playing roles expected of them.
  • The dissociation view suggests hypnosis creates a detached state of consciousness.

Caffeine and Sleep

  • Caffeine consumption can lead to agitation, twitching, rapid heartbeat, and nausea, affecting sleep quality.

Sleep Deprivation

  • A false statement regarding sleep deprivation is the claim that it often results in ADHD symptoms.
