Consciousness Chapter 3

Define Behaviorism:

• Awareness of self and environment

• Cocktail party effect

• Rapid switching between activities degrades sustained, focused attention

• Talking with passengers also increases this risk

What type of sleep stage is REM?

• Slow breathing and irregular brain waves; hallucinations; hypnagogic (hypnic)sensations

• Relaxed more deeply; 20 minutes; sleep spindles that aid

• 30 minutes; slow delta waves

• Body more internally aroused than NREM sleep

What Stage of Sleep is NREM-3?

• Slow breathing and irregular brain waves; hallucinations; hypnagogic (hypnic)sensations

• Relaxed more deeply; 20 minutes; sleep spindles that aid

• 30 minutes; slow delta waves

• Body more internally aroused than NREM sleep

Which describe the NREM-2

• Slow breathing and irregular brain waves; hallucinations; hypnagogic (hypnic)sensations; brief

• Relaxed more deeply; 20 minutes; sleep spindles that aid memory processing

• Deep sleep;30 minutes; slow delta waves

• Body more internally aroused than NREM sleep; dreams

Define the NREM-1

• Slow breathing and irregular brain waves; hallucinations; hypnagogic (hypnic) sensations; brief

• Relaxed more deeply; 20 minutes; sleep spindles that aid memory processing

• Deep sleep; 30 minutes; slow delta waves

• Body more internally aroused than NREM sleep; dreams

Define Sequential Processing:

• Processing one aspect of a stimulus or problem at a time; new information processing or difficult problem solving

• Processing many aspects of a stimulus or problem at once

• Simultaneous information processing on separate conscious and unconscious tracks

• Responding to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it

Define Parallel Processing:

• Processing many aspects of a stimulus or problem at once

• Processing one aspect of a stimulus or problem at a time; new information processing or difficult problem solving

• Responding to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it

• Simultaneous informationprocessing on separate conscious and unconscioustracks

Define Blindsight:

• Responding to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it

• Simultaneous information processing on separate conscious and unconscious tracks

• Failing to see visible objects when attention is directed elsewhere

• Failing to notice changes in the environment (form of inattentional blindness)

Define Dual Processing:

• Simultaneous information processing on separate conscious and unconscious tracks

• Responding to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it

• Failing to see visible objects when attention is directed elsewhere

• Processing many aspects of a stimulus or problem at once

Define Change Blindness:

• Failing to notice changes in the environment (form of inattentional blindness)

• Failing to see visible objects when attention is directed elsewhere

• Failing to notice changes in the environment (form of inattentional blindness)

• Simultaneous information processing on separate conscious and unconscious tracks
