|
cognitive neuroscience
|
studies which parts of the brain perform certain activities
|
|
|
neuropsychology
|
study of specific psychological functions related to brain processes
ex. long term memory in hippocampus |
|
|
neurobiological theories
|
links between brain and mind
assume all psychological processes can be linked to a specific brain activity |
|
|
dualism
|
mind doesn't exist separate from body
Renee Descartes: mind is a nonphysical substance |
|
|
monoists
|
denied separation
different aspects of the same thing |
|
|
dual aspect theory
|
although an emotion will still feel like an emotion, we understand it on its neural functions
|
|
|
reductionism
|
aspect of dual aspect theory that reduces complex processes to the interaction of their parts
|
|
|
consciousness
|
awareness of ourselves and the environment
|
|
|
unconsciousness
|
buried ideas and feelings
could be pushed down to hide anxiety |
|
|
dual processing
|
everything acts on 2 levels: consciousness vs. unconsciousness
|
|
|
Freud's Topographic Ice berg model
|
1. conscious
2. preconscious: acceptable ideas CAPABLE of consciousness (superego, ego) 3. unconscious (id) |
|
|
id
|
raw impulse
wild 2 year old |
|
|
superego
|
morals, societal norms, against fun, self critical
|
|
|
ego
|
balancer of id and superego
|
|
|
pineal gland
|
responds to day length
sends chemicals to help lift our moods and energize us |
|
|
circadian rhythms
|
lowering and raising of blood pressure, sugar levels, body temperature according to time of day
at night, low BP |
|
|
recall
|
retrieve info learning earlier (fill in the blank)
|
|
|
recognition
|
you have seen this before
|
|
|
relearning
|
do the exact same thing again
|
|
|
encoding
|
processing info into memory
|
|
|
storage
|
retention of coded information over time
|
|
|
retrieval
|
process of getting info out of memory storage
|
|
|
fleeting sensory memory
|
first step in 3stage model of memory forming
something catches our attention |
|
|
short term memory
|
encoded by rehearsal
no neural activities formed no paths for recall formed a.k.a working memory |
|
|
long term memory
|
paths for recall created
requires new protein synthesis a.k.a active learning |
|
|
explicit memories
|
stored in hippocampus, frontal lobes
effortful processing/recalling |
|
|
implicit memories
|
stored in amygdala, cerebellum
when we recall, no internal awareness that we're recalling |
|
|
chunking
|
effortful processing strategy
organizing items into familiar, manageable units |
|
|
mnemonics
|
effortful processing strategy
memory aids using imagery |
|
|
hierarchies
|
effortful processing strategy
broad concepts into narrower concepts and facts categorizing |
|
|
distributed practice
|
effortful processing strategy
memorizing over a long period of time yields better long term memory, better recall |
|
|
anterograde amnesia
|
can recall the past but can't form new memories
|
|
|
retrograde amnesia
|
can't retrieve info from one's past
|
|
|
encoding failure
|
never exciting enough to encode in the first place
|
|
|
storage decay
|
gradual fading of the physical memory trace
|
|
|
retrieval failure
|
sometimes even stored info can't be accessed
|
|
|
children eyewitness recall
|
children are more likely to create false memories
must ask open ended questions |
|
|
traumatic experience recall
|
traumas are not buried into the unconscious
they etched on the mind as vivid and persistent memories all of nervous system activated simultaneously and this can block you to make sense of it |
|
|
sleep apnea
|
cessations of breathing while sleeping
|
