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.
Sleep-related Phenomena
- 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.
