(Mary Ainsworth)
distressed with mom gone, happy to see mom back, these mothers were affectionate & responsive, kids were cooperative & obedient.

Receptor Cells
special purpose neurons that convert various forms of energy into nerve impulses. Absolute threshold-minimum level of a sensory stimulus necessary for an observer to detect 50% at a time Difference threshold- difference necessary for an observer to tell 2 stimuli apart.
Young Helmholtz/trichromatic theory
that we see color cause we have 3 kinds of cones that each respond to only a part of the spectrum. Can have negative after images.
Hering’s opponent-process theory
we see colors as opposing pairs. (Red-green, blue-yellow, black-white).
Retinex Theory/Color Constancy
an object is going to tend to appear the same color no matter what lighting we are seeing it.
Visable spectrum
the narrow range of light that stimulates the rods and cones.
Monochrome color blindness
no cones or cones don’t work well, like going through a black and white movie.
Dichromatic color blindness
cannot distinguish red from green – it is a defect in the cones themselves, have 2 kinds of cones.
Binocular cues
convergence (when we go cross-eyed). Retinal disparity (distance between eyes)
Monocular cues
only use of 1 eye. Accommodation- uses the tension on the muscles that bend the lens of the eye. Overlap, height, texture gradient, linear and aerial perspective, relative size and motion, light and shadow.
Perception
interpreting the information provide by the senses. of the electrical signals/raw data that come to the brain
Vestibular system
movement, body position, direction of tilt, acceleration of head, position with respect to gravity
Gate control theory of pain
ignoring pain, feeling pain according to your mood.
Taste sense
500 taste buds, each has 20 recepter cells, tongue. Basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Umami(MSG) found in 1900
Sense of smell
olfaction. Intensify taste of food, warn od dangerous foods, trigger strong memories.
Rods
120 million, very sensitive, allow us to see in very dim light, but sensitivity renders them capable of only receiving black white and shades of grey.
Cones
allow us to see color, fewer cones than rods in each eye, found in the center of the retina in the fovea (point of central focus). Receive light stimuli; don’t see until the light is transduced into the brain
Ear structure
(Sound amplitude pitch) Outer waves pulled into canal, hit (middle ear) eardrum: vibrates & sends waves to (inner ear)hammer, anvil, & stirrup. they vibrate then to cochlea: fluid inside, receptor cells sound-waves are transduced into impulses,transfers along auditory nerve to thalamus then temporal lobe.
Myopic/nearsighted
Some eye balls are elongated, where you have trouble seeing objects far away.
Hyperopia/farsighted
flat/short eyeball, lens to thin, light waves aren’t bent properly. Presbyopia had normal vision but as they age they become farsighted
Cornea
light bends changes its shape and gets narrower then goes to pupil.
Pupil
round opening near he outside of the eye, they continue to focus or narrow the light wave, it grows bigger & smaller via the iris if the light is bright the iris will make the pupil grow smaller and vice versa
Lens
curved transparent surface, the light wave narrows in the lens and this continues until you reach the retina where the light is transducted, turned into an electrical impulse and sent to the brain
Iris
colored ring of muscles around the pupil
Retina
the three layers at the back of the eye
Circadian rhythm
set for about 24 hours. Biological rhythm is natural cycle of activity that our body must go through. Biological clock for women.
Superchiasmatic nucleus
in circadian clock. It is a group of cells in the hypothalamus. Melatonin is secreted from 8 to 10 pm to make us feel sleepy. The more alert we are deals with our body temperature. Our clocks need to be reset everyday.
Repair and restoration theory
our brain releases important hormones. When our physical activity slows down.
Protective Theory
dangerous for our central nervous system to get to much stimulation.
Safety Hypothesis
dates back to cave people. They slept so they would not get killed by vicious animals. One reason was because we don’t see well in the dark.
Energy Conservation theory
we sleep at night to conserve energy and the food that produces our energy.
Sleep Stage 1
beta waves, about 10 minutes, we start to become relaxed, and drowsy. Hipnogoiate images are from bits and pieces that neurons produced that could turn into a dream. Also the time when we have hipnic jerks. They are said to be from muscle tightness.
Sleep Stage 2
beta waves, as long as 20 minutes, is true sleep. You get sleep spindles or in other words sudden burst of energy.
Sleep Stage 3
brain waves get higher and farther apart. Also known as Delta waves. You can be in this stage for about 40 minutes.
Sleep Stage 4
as long as 30 minutes. Lowest point with real delta waves. Breathing rate at the slowest. Release of growth hormones. Sleep walking or night terrors occur now.
REM sleep
it makes up about 20% of our sleep time, it lasts for about a few minutes to an hour. Discovered in the 1950s. Our voluntary muscles are non active. We are paralyzed during this time so we don’t act out our dreams. Nightmares occur here
Manifest Content Psychoanalytic (Sigmund Freud)-

Restless Leg Syndrome
Discomfort in legs during sleep, tingling
Narcolepsy
People fall sleep at unknown times, they fall into r.e.m. sleep, which makes their muscles involuntary
Sleep Apnea
When people stop breathing in the middle of the night. Risk Factors are Intense, frequent snoring, Overweight, Alcohol use, Taking sedatives
Hypnosis
State of consciousness in which a person is especially susceptible to suggestion.
Hypnosis Myths
Subjects are not asleep, they are in control of their behaviors, typically remember what is said to them during hypnosis, are able to talk during the process.
Trance
Naturally occurring phenomenon, Form of dissociation, break of a connection, where you think about something else, your concentration is so focused.
Hypnosis Process
Hypnotic Susceptibility (Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale). Deep breathing. Major relaxed state. Hypnotic induction- how they implement during hypnosis. Posthypnotic Suggestion- give some activity to after hypnosis
Anton Mesmer
Father of hypnosis, Treated people with magnets, Believed we have magnetic fields, Mesmerized.
