Study Notes
Sensation and Perception
- Sensation: Detection of physical energy by sensory organs; begins at sense receptors. Perception: Brain's organization and interpretation of sensory input.
- Doctrine of Specific Nerve Energies (Anatomical Code): Different sensory modalities due to different nerve pathways to brain regions. Stimuli follow specific pathways to be perceived.
- Synesthesia: A condition where sensation in one modality consistently evokes a sensation in another.
- Absolute Threshold: Minimum stimulus energy detected 50% of the time.
- Difference Threshold ("Just Noticeable Difference"): Smallest detectable difference between two stimuli; expressed as a Weber fraction.
- Signal Detection Theory: Detecting a signal involves both a sensory process and a decision process.
- Sensory Adaptation: Decline in sensory responsiveness to unchanging stimuli. Benefits include adapting to clothing; drawbacks include nose-blindness.
- Selective Attention: Focusing on aspects of the environment while ignoring others. Inattentional Blindness: Failure to perceive unattended visual stimuli.
Vision
- Hue (colour): Dimension of visual experience determined by wavelength.
- Saturation (colourfulness): Dimension related to light complexity (wavelength range).
- Brightness: Dimension related to light intensity (wave amplitude).
- Structure of the eye: Sclera (outer), Cornea (clear front layer), Pupil (light regulator), Iris (muscle adjusting pupil size), Lens (focuses light), Retina (neural tissue with receptors).
- Cones, Rods: Cones (centre, detail, colour, 5-7 million); Rods (peripheral, low light, movement, 80-100 million).
- Dark Adaptation: Rods and cones gain sensitivity in low light (cones 5-20 minutes, rods ~30 minutes).
- Feature-Detector Cells: Cells detecting specific visual aspects (lines, orientation).
- Prosopagnosia: Damage to facial recognition areas.
- Trichromatic Theory (Young-Helmholtz): Colour vision from three cone types (short, medium, long wavelengths).
- Opponent-Process Theory: Colour perception based on opposing pairs (red-green, yellow-blue, etc.). Negative Afterimages: Persistence of opposing colour after prolonged exposure.
- Gestalt Principles: Grouping sensory elements into meaningful units (proximity, similarity, continuity, closure). Optical Illusions: Misinterpretations of sensory cues. Figure-Ground: Distinguishing objects from background.
- Binocular Depth Cues: Two eyes, different perspectives for distance (convergence, retinal disparity).
- Monocular Depth Cues: One eye, cues for depth further than 50 feet (interposition, linear perspective, relative size, relative clarity, texture gradient, light and shadow, motion parallax).
- Visual Pathways: Dorsal ("where/how") and Ventral ("what").
- Perceptual Constancies: Stable perception of objects despite changing sensory input (size, shape, location, brightness).
- Perceptual Illusions: Misleading sensory cues. Pareidolia: Finding faces in irrelevant stimuli.
Hearing
- Loudness: Related to sound wave amplitude (dB).
- Pitch: Related to sound wave frequency (Hz).
- Timbre: Related to sound wave complexity.
- Cochlea, Basilar Membrane, Hair cells: Cochlea (snail-shaped organ), basilar membrane (membrane vibrating in ear), hair cells (neurons).
- Place Theory: Hair cell location related to sound frequency. Frequency Theory: Hair cell firing synchronises with sound wave. Volley Principle: Groups of hair cells work together for higher frequencies.
Taste and Smell
- Basic tastes: Salty, sour, bitter, sweet, umami, oleogustus.
- Supertasters: Individuals with more taste buds (sensitivity to bitter tastes).
- Olfactory Epithelium: Cells with cilia (sensory receptors).
Pain
- Nociception: Detection of potentially harmful stimuli.
- Fast fibres, Slow fibres: Fast fibres (sharp pain); slow fibres (chronic pain).
- Gate-control theory: Theory about how pain signals reach the brain, but mechanisms are not definitively understood.
- Phantom pain: Feeling pain from absent body parts.
Body Awareness (Kinesthesis and Equilibrium)
- Kinesthesis: Awareness of body part positions and movements.
- Equilibrium: Awareness of body's orientation.
Consciousness
- Biological Rhythms: Fluctuations in biological systems with psychological significance.
- Circadian Rhythm: ~24-hour biological rhythm (often entrained by external cues).
- Entrainment: Synchronization of biological rhythms with external cues.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Seasonal depression, likely linked to lack of sunlight and vitamin D.
- Stages of Sleep: Awake (beta waves), Stage 1 (alpha waves), Stage 2 (theta waves, spindles, k-complex), Stage 3/4 (delta waves), REM (similar to awake brain activity).
- Sleep functions: Restore and repair, preserve and protect.
- Types of Insomnia (onset, maintenance, terminal). Restless Legs Syndrome. REM Behavior Disorder. Somnambulism (Sleepwalking). Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy.
Drug Effects
- Stimulants: Speed up nervous system, increase dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine. Sedatives: Slow down nervous system, increase GABA activity. Hallucinogens: Distort perception, affect serotonin and glutamate. Narcotics: Reduce pain, euphoria, increased endorphins. Alcohol: Euphoria, relaxation (various effects on neurotransmitters). Marijuana: Relaxation, distortion (mimics anandamide).
- Long-term drug effects: Tolerance, Physical dependence, Psychological dependence, Top-down influences.
- Effects of Drug Use on Body/Brain: Cognitive deterioration, physical deterioration.
Learning
- Classical Conditioning: Association between two stimuli to produce a learned response.
- Operant Conditioning: Behaviour changes based on consequences (reinforcement and punishment, shaping, chaining) ; includes secondary reinforcers.
- Cognitive Theories of Learning: Observational learning, social factors.
- Latent Learning: Learning not immediately expressed (Tolman's rat maze study).
Memory
- Information-Processing Models: Input, output, accessing, retrieval. Three-box model (sensory register, short-term, long-term memory).
- Sensory Memory: Iconic (visual) and echoic (auditory). Short-term/Working memory: Limited capacity (7 +/- 2), chunking.
- Long-term Memory: Explicit (declarative) - Semantic (facts) and Episodic (personal experiences); Implicit (non-declarative) - Procedural (skills) and Conditioning (associative).
- Serial Position Effect: Better recall of first and last items in a list.
- Encoding Strategies: Maintenance rehearsal, elaborative rehearsal, deep processing, retrieval practice.
- Reasons for forgetting: Decay, replacement, interference, cue dependent, encoding specificity.
- Types of amnesia.
- Flashbulb memories: Vivid, detailed recollections, but potentially less accurate.
Hypnosis
- Dissociation theory of hypnosis: Split in consciousness (hypnotized vs. hidden observer). Sociocognitive explanation: Role-playing and social/cognitive factors.
Disorders of Consciousness
- Spectrum of wakefulness/awareness: Brain death (no recovery potential), Coma (complete LOC), Persistent Vegetative State (PVS), Minimally Conscious State, Locked-In Syndrome.
Psychology of Dream Theories
- Manifest vs. latent content, problems reflected in dreams, a problem-focused approach, cognitive approach, and activation-synthesis theory.
