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.
- Consciousness is considered to be the unified activity of multiple modules in different areas of the brain, representing a global workspace.
