Study Notes
Stress Response System
- The system responsible for the flight or fight response is the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis.
Hippocampus
- The primary role of the hippocampus is to process and consolidate memories.
Adrenal Cortex
- The hormone released from the adrenal cortex into circulation in response to stress is cortisol.
HPA Axis
- The HPA axis stands for Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis.
Psychoneuroimmunology
- The study of interactions between psychological factors, the nervous system, and the immune system is called psychoneuroimmunology.
Effect of Chronic Stress on Hippocampus
- Chronic stress can cause a decrease in the volume of the hippocampus.
Hans Selye's Stress Response
- Hans Selye outlined the dual nature of stress response, which consists of a general adaptation syndrome and a specific response to a specific stressor.
Primary Source of Stress Response
- The primary source of numerous components of stress response is the hypothalamus.
Stressors
- Stressors are experiences that induce a stress response.
Physiological Response to Harm
- The physiological response occurring when the body is exposed to harm or threat is the stress response.
Effect of Chronic Low-Level Stress on HPA Axis
- Chronic low-level stress can lead to dysregulation of the HPA axis.
Coping Mechanisms for Stress
- Coping mechanisms for stress mentioned in the text are not specified.
Modern Biopsychological View
- According to the modern biopsychological view, the inducing stimulus for the emotional response is the perception of a stimulus.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Research
- A key finding in ANS research is that the autonomic nervous system is involved in the emotional response.
Polygraphy Tests
- The primary focus of polygraphy tests is to detect deception.
Guilty-Knowledge Technique
- The guilty-knowledge technique, also known as the concealed information test, raises questions about the accuracy of polygraphy tests.
Common Sense View
- According to the common sense view, the sequence of events is: bear, fear, and physiological reaction.
James-Lange Theory
- In the James-Lange theory, the perception of a bear is followed by a physiological response, which is then followed by the emotion of fear.
Cannon-Bard Theory
- According to the Cannon-Bard theory, the perception of a bear results in simultaneous physiological and emotional responses.
Challenges of Polygraphy Tests
- The primary challenge associated with the use of polygraphy tests as an interrogation tool is the risk of false positives.
Current Research on ANS
- The focus of current research on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying emotional responses.
Modern Biopsychological View Cycle
- In the modern biopsychological view, the cycle of emotional response, appraisal, and physiological response can occur in either direction.
Relationship between Emotional Response Factors
- Modern experimental evidence suggests that emotional response factors, such as cognitive appraisal and physiological response, are interconnected and influence each other.

Description
Test your knowledge of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) with this quiz. Explore the ANS's role in our automatic responses, its association with specific emotions, and the current research focus on ANS. Delve into the effectiveness of ANS measures such as polygraphy and examine different theories, including the common sense view, James-Lange theory, and Cannon-Bard theory.
