AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
MADE UP OF THE SYMPATHETIC AND THE PARASYMPATHETIC SYSTEMS; CONTROLS PHYSIOLOGICAL AROUSAL
|
|
|
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
AROUSING; Think about a time you've been in a really dangerous or frightening situation. In that situation your body responded by, for example, increasing your heart rate, raising your respiration, moving blood from one place (e.g., your digestive system) to another (your muscles), etc. These responses are all "arousal" responses which get you ready to fight or flee in times of danger.

|
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
CALMING; main function is to conserve/restore your body's energy. For example, its responsible for sending signals to slow your heart rate and breathing, and speed up your digestive tract in order to digest calories and save energy.

POLYGRAPH TEST
|
this test is not a lie detector; it measures your PHYSIOLOGICAL signs (blood pressure, heart rate, sweat); there is a correlation between lying and the PHYSIOLOGICAL signs BUT correlation DOES NOT mean causation.
FRAMING: Defense - passed Prosecuter - failed |

CATHARSIS
|
Emotional Release --> Releasing agressive or negative energy in a good way relieves agressive urges --> for example, you're really mad about failing your math test, so you might go outside and run for a long time to calm yourself down because running release your emotions. Or if a young boy watches a sexual video which leads to him being sexually aroused... yet he cannot act on this urge so to release it, he goes outside and plays soccer with his friends to release his agressiveness.
