UNDERSTANDING THE SELF FINALS – 2ND SEMESTER BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY BSMT-1A| 2ND SEMESTER I A.Y. 2022 – 2023 MANAGING ANG CARING FOR THE SELF Neurotransmitters are the electrochemical that connect and allow the transmission of impulses Learning to be a Better Student from one neuron to another such as Learning acetylcholine, glutamate, dopamine and norepinephrine are associated with memory the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and and learning attitudes through experience transformational process that leads to Decreased number of acetylcholine personal growth and development leads to Alzheimer’s disease it is a constant process that can result Excess supply of glutamate leads to from direct and indirect experiences anxiety it is important to the survival of human Under supply of dopamine leads to beings because it enables them to depression discover new knowledge, technology Dopamine (happy hormone) and interventions acquired through teachers and mentors Responsible for pleasure not only IQ but also EQ Norepinephrine bound to holistically develop individual two types: direct and indirect For flight and fight no one has the autonomy of all Endorphin bound to inventions – discover 70% - Intellectual Deficiency Pain killer What happens to the brain during learning 2 TYPES OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS development and learning are powerful Excitatory agents of change throughout one’s life that induce structural and functional Encourages to take an action plasticity in the neural systems of the Inhibitory brain Discourages to take an action Neuroplasticity PARTS OF A NEURON ability of the brain to change throughout one’s life. addition of new neurons, new interconnections between neurons, and the reorganization of information processing area you are more than your weaknesses Neurons building blocks of the nervous system Dendrites that transmit impulses or messages every neuron is made up of a cell body Receives information (soma), dendrites, and an axon Cell Body a neuron transmits impulses or messages to another neuron through a Responsible for genetic information junction called synapse. Axon Carries information and impulses Krizza Mae D.

Planning Monitor your academic increases efficiency, control and performance and progress. Use a motivation chart to monitor your work don’t waste time outcomes. When faced with difficult ready for any adversities tasks, seek social support when you need it. Look for inspiration to Problem solving keep you motivated in achieving your academic goals. When allow students to learn to think and to confronted with difficulties, always look for solutions when faced with think and keep working toward your adversities goals and the future.

Intrapersonal Intelligence 1. Evolutionary Theory ability to understand oneself motivation for sex, aggression, the knowledge of one’s strengths, and other behaviors is rooted in weaknesses, desires, and the organisms’ evolutionary intelligences as well as the past understanding of one’s feelings and if a species is highly the ability to discriminate among competitive, it is because such them and draw upon them to guide competitiveness has improved behavior its chances of survival, and it is 8. Naturalist Intelligence then passed down through ability to observe patterns in nature genes from generation to and understand natural and human- generation made systems; sensitivity to the proponent was Charles Darwin differences among diverse species; surviving of the fittest ability to interact subtly with living it has something to do with the creatures influence of the ancestors CONTRIBUTORS TO INTELLIGENCE 2. Drive reduction theory organisms are driven by Heredity physiological needs; the idea refers to the genes one inherits that as drive becomes stronger, from his/her parents, which provide the individual becomes more the upper and lower limits of his/her motivated to reduce it intelligence quotient the higher the drive, the stronger the desire to reduce it Environment 3. Optimum arousal theory experiences and the psychological performance is at its highest and physical exposure of the under condition of moderate individual to the various influence arousal rather than high or low around him/her arousal arousal – energy It has been resolved that heredity and high arousal– cannot environment both interact to contribute to concentrate intelligence and personality. low arousal – cannot work well Motivation it should be moderate solving mathematics should be force that moves people to behave, low arousal think, and feel the way they do; 4. Cognitive approach motivated behavior is energized, contemporary view of directed, and sustained motivation emphasizes that drive to achieve our goals cognitive factors determine motivation level It may be said that aside from heredity and environment, motivation is also significant thoughts are powerful influence in personality development Krizza Mae D.
