Sleep is defined as:
A state of total unconsciousness
A state of partial unconsciousness from which a person can be aroused
A coma-like state
A state where the brain is inactive
Which type of sleep is most associated with physical restoration?
REM sleep
NREM Stage 1
NREM Stages 3 & 4
REM Stage 5
During REM sleep, which of the following occurs?
Muscles contract strongly
Brain activity decreases
Skeletal muscles are inhibited except ocular and diaphragm muscles
No dreaming occurs
The first REM sleep period of the night usually lasts about:
2–3 minutes
10 minutes
45 minutes
1 hour
Which sleep stage is associated with sleep spindles?
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
REM
Delta waves dominate in:
NREM Stage 1
NREM Stage 2
NREM Stage 3/4
REM
Most dreaming occurs during:
NREM Stage 1
NREM Stage 2
NREM Stage 3/4
REM
Which structure plays a major role in controlling the sleep-wake cycle?
Cerebellum
Hypothalamus
Pons
Medulla oblongata
The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is:
Fully active during sleep
Inhibited during sleep
Responsible for producing dreams
Unrelated to sleep
Circadian rhythm refers to:
A 12-hour hormonal cycle
A 24-hour sleep/wake cycle
A weekly metabolic rate shift
Random fluctuations in alertness
Which disorder involves abrupt lapses into sleep?
Insomnia
Narcolepsy
Sleep apnea
Parasomnia
Narcolepsy may be linked to destruction of:
Dopamine
Acetylcholine
Orexins
Serotonin
Insomnia is defined as:
Sudden REM onset
Temporary cessation of breathing during sleep
Chronic inability to get adequate sleep
Dreaming while awake
Which device is commonly used to treat sleep apnea?
EEG
MRI
CPAP
Pacemaker
Short-term memory typically holds about (a) pieces of information before it is either forgotten or transferred into long-term memory.
Short-term memory typically holds how many pieces of information?
2–3
4–6
7–8
12–15
Long-term memory has:
Very limited capacity
Capacity limited to 100 items
Capacity similar to STM
Essentially limitless capacity
The hippocampus is primarily responsible for:
Reflex movement
STM → LTM transfer
Speech articulation
Voluntary muscle control
Which factor best promotes memory consolidation?
Fatigue
Emotional arousal
Low stress
Distraction
Repetition and practice improve memory via:
Rehearsal
Automatic memory
Random storage
Neural inhibition
Associating new information with what you already know is:
Encoding
Association
Repression
Retrieval
Declarative memory involves:
Motor skills
Emotional reactions
Facts and language-based knowledge
Unconscious recall
Non-declarative memory is best remembered by:
Saying information repeatedly
Doing and repetition
Writing notes
Memorizing definitions
Which memory type includes skills like typing or riding a bike?
Declarative
Non-declarative (procedural)
Emotional
Automatic
(a) sleep is the stage in which most dreaming occurs, and skeletal muscles are actively inhibited, except for the ocular muscles and the diaphragm.
The most restorative sleep stages are:
REM
NREM 1 & 2
NREM 3 & 4
REM only
Stage 4 sleep:
Increases in elderly people
Declines with age and may disappear
Occurs only after REM
Does not affect health
Sleepwalking and night terrors are most likely to occur during:
REM
NREM Stage 1
NREM Stage 2
NREM Stages 3/4
Moodiness and depression can result from deprivation of:
Stage 1 sleep
REM sleep
Short-term memory
Hippocampal activity
The first dream state typically begins after about:
10 minutes
30 minutes
60 minutes
90 minutes
The transfer of information from short-term memory to long-term memory is strongly influenced by (a) , rehearsal, and association.
A person who can remember long-past events but struggles to form new memories may have damage to the:
Cerebellum
Hippocampus
Spinal cord
Occipital lobe
Emotional memories may be more vivid because:
They bypass the hippocampus
They occur during Stage 1
Emotional arousal strengthens memory storage pathways
They are stored only in STM
The (a) in the hypothalamus helps regulate the circadian rhythm, which controls natural sleep and wake patterns.
What is sleep apnea?
A disorder where the individual cannot fall asleep due to anxiety.
A disorder characterized by the stopping and starting of breathing during sleep.
A disorder where the individual sleeps excessively.
A disorder characterized by walking or talking during sleep.
What does REM stand for in REM sleep?
Rapid Eye Movement
Really Energetic Mind
Restful Eye Motion
Rapid Energy Motion
The most restorative stages of sleep are NREM Stages (a) , where delta waves dominate and the body’s heart rate and breathing slow down.
