    Study Notes

    Understanding Consciousness and Disorders of Consciousness

    • Some argue against Owen’s conclusion that patients in a vegetative state are conscious, attributing their responses to involuntary reflexes.
    • Disorders of consciousness, including vegetative state, are among the least understood disorders.
    • Chartrand and Bargh's study demonstrated that subliminally presented words can influence mood without conscious awareness.
    • The neural basis of consciousness and how brain activity produces consciousness are still not fully understood.
    • Some patients in a vegetative state may be aware of their surroundings and able to communicate using proper techniques.
    • A patient in a vegetative state, Kate Bainbridge, expressed gratitude for being tested by Adrian Owen and discovering her condition.
    • Visual agnosia, illustrated by the case of D.F., is an inability to visually recognize objects despite intact nonconscious visual pathways.
    • The modular model of mind suggests that consciousness arises from separate but interacting information-processing modules in the brain.
    • Patients with blindsight demonstrate that visual information can be processed and influence behavior outside of conscious awareness.
    • Neuroscientists believe that consciousness is a global workspace representing the unified activity of multiple brain modules.
    • The mind is viewed as a collection of separate but interacting modules that process information in parallel, with cross-talk between them.
