Study Notes
- Being conscious means awareness of feelings, emotions, thoughts, and surroundings through sight, sound, and physical sensation.
- Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased mental alertness, obesity, and depressive symptoms.
- Chronotypes explain why some people are "morning people" while others are "night owls".
- Heart rate and respiration slow during stage 1 sleep.
- Darting eyes underneath the eyelids is a common external sign of REM sleep.
- Alcohol is a depressant because it suppresses CNS activity.
- Freud referred to the meaning of a dream as the "Latent Content".
- Physiological dependence refers to the physical feelings of drug craving.
- Hypnosis involves a state of extreme self-focus and heightened suggestibility.
- Narcolepsy involves sudden, unexpected paralyzation and sleep.
- The biological clock is located in the hypothalamus.
- Individuals with sleep apnea repeatedly stop breathing during sleep.
- Drug categories include stimulants, depressants, opioids, and psychedelics.
- Operant and classical conditioning are both forms of associative learning.
- Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
- In extinction, a conditioned response gradually diminishes when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus.
- Shaping is the process of rewarding approximations of a target behavior.
- Latent learning is not observable in behavior until there is a reason to demonstrate it.
- Someone familiar with a room can navigate it in the dark due to having a mental map.
- Operant conditioning is based on the principle that behavior is motivated by consequences, such as reinforcements or punishments.
- Vicarious punishment: observing the negative consequences of others' actions and altering one's own actions to avoid those outcomes.
- Social learning theory: new behaviors can be learned by observing others.
- Explicit memories are those consciously tried to remember, recall, and report.
- Retrieval involves getting information out of memory storage and into conscious awareness.
- Knowing how to ride a bike or drive a car are examples of implicit learning.
- Recognition involves comparing current information to information already stored in long-term memory.
- Retroactive interference: new information blocks the retrieval of old information.
- Anterograde amnesia: inability to form new memories.
- Retrograde amnesia is the inability to access old memories.
- Sleep aids in the consolidation of information learned during the day into long-term memory.
- Dreams occur during REM sleep.
- Working/short-term memory stores brief events and sensations.
- The capacity of working memory is 7 plus or minus 2 units.
- Forgetting is the gradual loss/degradation of memory over time.
