Consciousness, modern psychologists believe, is an awareness of ourselves and
our environment.

1: What is the “dual processing” being revealed
by today’s cognitive neuroscience?
![Page 5: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Cognitive neuroscience is the interdisciplinary study of brain activity linked with our mental processes (what do brain scans of vegetative patients asked to imagine playing tennis reveal?)
• Recent research has revealed much of our brain work occurs unconsciously, at the same time as conscious processing. This is known as dual processing.
![Page 7: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• While you will mistakenly perceive the inside of a mask as a protruding face, you will unhesitatingly and accurately reach into the inverted mask to flick off a bug-like object stuck to the mask.
• What your conscious mind doesn’t know, your hand does!

2: How much information do we consciously attend to
at once?
![Page 9: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Selective Attention
Our conscious awareness processes only a small part of all that we experience. We intuitively make use of the information we are not consciously aware of.
The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus is selective attention.
![Page 10: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Inattentional Blindness
Inattentional blindness refers to the inability to see visible objects (or people)
when our attention is directed elsewhere.
Simons & Chabris (1999) showed that
half of the observers failed to
see the gorilla-suited assistant in a ball passing game.
![Page 11: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Change Blindness
Change blindness is a form of inattentional blindness in which two-thirds of individuals giving directions failed to notice a change in
the individual asking for directions.

3: How do our biological rhythms influence our daily functioning and our sleep
and dreams?
![Page 14: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sleep & DreamsSleep – we all do it!
Even when you’re asleep your perceptual window is not shut.
And, just as when we are awake, most information is processed outside our conscious awareness.
![Page 15: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Biological Rhythms and SleepCircadian Rhythms occur on a 24-hour cycle and
include sleep and wakefulness. Termed our “biological clock,” it can be altered by artificial
light.
Light triggers the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus to decrease the hormone melatonin.
Nightfall triggers an increase of melatonin.
![Page 16: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4: What is the biological rhythm of our sleep?
![Page 17: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Measuring sleep: About every 90 minutes, we pass through a cycle of five distinct
sleep stages.
Sleep Stages
Hank Morgan/ Rainbow
Sleep researchers measure brain-wave activity, eye movements, and muscle tension by electrodes that pick up signals from the brain, eye, and facial muscles.
![Page 18: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Awake but Relaxed
When an individual closes his eyes but remains awake, his brain activity slows down to a large amplitude and slow, regular alpha waves.
A meditating person exhibits an alpha brain activity.
![Page 19: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
During early, light sleep (stages 1-2) the brain enters a high-amplitude, slow, regular wave
form called theta waves. A person who is
daydreaming shows theta activity.
Sleep Stages 1-2
Theta Waves
Stage 1: brief; may experience images resembling hallucinationsStage 2: 20 minutes; characterized by sleep spindles (bursts of rapid, rhythmic brain-wave activity)
![Page 20: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
During deepest sleep (stages 3-4), brain activity slows down. There are large-
amplitude, slow delta waves.
Sleep Stages 3-4
Stage 3: transitional
Stage 4: deep sleep; difficult to awaken; children may wet the bed or begin sleepwalking
![Page 21: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stage 5: REM SleepAfter reaching the deepest sleep stage, the sleep
cycle starts moving backward from Stage 4, through Stage 3 and Stage 2. Then you enter
REM sleep. Although still asleep, the brain engages in low-
amplitude, fast and regular beta waves much like awake-aroused state.
The rapid eye movements of REM sleep signal the beginning of a dream.
![Page 22: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
90-Minute Cycles During Sleep
With each 90-minute cycle, stage 4 sleep decreases and the duration of REM sleep
increases.
![Page 23: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why do we sleep?We spend one-third of
our lives sleeping.
If an individual remains awake for
several days, immune function and concentration
deteriorates and the risk of accidents
increases.

5: How does sleep loss affect us?
![Page 26: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sleep Deprivation
1. Fatigue
2. Impaired concentration
3. Emotional irritability
4. Depressed immune system
5. Greater vulnerability

AccidentsFrequency of accidents increase with loss
of sleep

6: What is sleep’s function?
![Page 29: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sleep Theories
1. Sleep Protects: Sleeping in the darkness when predators loomed about kept our ancestors out of harm’s way.
2. Sleep Helps us Recover: Sleep helps restore and repair brain tissue.
3. Sleep Helps us Remember: Sleep restores and rebuilds our fading memories.
4. Sleep may play a role in the growth process: During sleep, the pituitary gland releases growth hormone. Older people release less of this hormone and sleep less.
![Page 30: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
7: What are the major sleep disorders?
![Page 31: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
1. Insomnia: A persistent inability to fall asleep.
2. Narcolepsy: Overpowering urge to fall asleep that may occur while talking or standing up.
3. Sleep apnea: Failure to breathe when asleep.
Sleep Disorders

Children are most prone to:
Night terrors: The sudden arousal from sleep with intense fear accompanied by physiological reactions (e.g., rapid heart rate, perspiration) which occur during Stage 4 sleep.
Sleepwalking: A Stage 4 disorder which is usually harmless and unrecalled the next day.
Sleeptalking: A condition that runs in families, like sleepwalking.
Sleep Disorders
![Page 35: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
8: What do we dream?
![Page 36: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dreams
The link between REM sleep and dreaming has opened up a new era of
dream research.
![Page 37: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What We Dream
1. Negative Emotional Content: 8 out of 10 dreams have negative emotional content.
2. Failure Dreams: People commonly dream about failure, being attacked, pursued, rejected, or struck with misfortune.
3. Sexual Dreams: Contrary to our thinking, sexual dreams are sparse. Sexual dreams in men are 1 in 10; and in women 1 in 30.
Manifest Content: A Freudian term meaning the story line of dreams.
![Page 38: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
9: What is the function of dreams?
![Page 39: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Why We Dream
1. Wish Fulfillment: Sigmund Freud suggested that dreams provide a psychic safety valve to discharge unacceptable feelings. The dream’s manifest (apparent) content may also have symbolic meanings (latent content) that signify our unacceptable feelings.
2. Information Processing: Dreams may help sift, sort, and fix a day’s experiences in our memories.
![Page 40: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Why We Dream3. Physiological Function: Dreams provide
the sleeping brain with periodic stimulation to develop and preserve neural pathways.
Figure 3.14, p. 106
Neural networks of
newborns are quickly
developing; therefore, they need
more sleep.
![Page 41: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Why We Dream
4. Activation-Synthesis Theory: Suggests that the brain engages in a lot of random neural activity. Dreams make sense of this activity.
5. Cognitive Development: Some researchers argue that we dream as a part of brain maturation and cognitive development.All dream researchers believe we need REM
sleep. When deprived of REM sleep and then allowed to sleep,
we show increased REM sleep called REM Rebound.
![Page 42: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
10: What is hypnosis, and what powers does a
hypnotist have over a hypnotized subject?
![Page 43: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Hypnosis
Hypnos: Greek god of sleep
A social interaction in which one person
(the hypnotist) suggests to another
(the subject) that certain perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors will spontaneously
occur.
![Page 44: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Facts and Falsehood
Those who practice hypnosis agree that its power resides in
the subject’s openness to suggestion.
Can anyone experience hypnosis? Yes, to some extent.
Can hypnosis enhance recall of forgotten events?
No.
![Page 45: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Facts and Falsehood
Can hypnosis be therapeutic?Yes. Self-suggestion
can heal too.
Can hypnosis alleviate pain?Yes. Lamaze can
do that too.
Can hypnosis force people to act against their will?
No.
• Hypnosis seems especially helpful for treatment of obesity, but drug, alcohol, and smoking addictions have not responded well to hypnosis.
• In controlled studies, hypnosis produced the same results as positive suggestions given without hypnosis.
![Page 46: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
11: Is hypnosis an extension of normal consciousness or
an altered state?
![Page 47: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Explaining the Hypnotized State
1.Social Influence Theory: Hypnotic subjects may simply be imaginative actors playing a social role.
2.Divided Consciousness Theory: Hypnosis is a special state of dissociated (divided) consciousness (Hilgard, 1986, 1992).

12: What are tolerance, dependence, and addiction,
and what are some common misconceptions
about addiction?
![Page 50: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Drugs and Consciousness
Psychoactive Drug: A chemical substance that alters perceptions and
mood (affects consciousness).
Psychoactive drugs are divided into three groups:
1. Depressants 2. Stimulants3. Hallucinoge
ns
![Page 51: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Dependence & Addiction
Continued use of a psychoactive drug
produces tolerance. With repeated
exposure to a drug, the drug’s effect lessens. Thus it takes greater
quantities to get the desired effect.
![Page 52: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Withdrawal & Dependence
Withdrawal: Upon stopping use of a drug (after addiction), users may experience the undesirable effects of withdrawal.
Dependence: Absence of a drug may lead to a feeling of physical pain, intense cravings (physical dependence), and negative emotions (psychological dependence).
![Page 53: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Misconceptions About Addiction
1. Addictive drugs quickly corrupt.
2. Addiction cannot be overcome voluntarily.
3. Addiction is no different than repetitive pleasure-seeking behaviors.
Addiction is a craving for a chemical substance, despite its adverse
consequences (physical & psychological).
![Page 54: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
13: What are depressants, and what are their
effects?
![Page 55: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Depressants
Depressants are drugs that reduce neural activity and slow body functions. They
include:1. Alcohol 2. Barbiturat
es3. Opiates
![Page 56: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Depressants
1. Alcohol affects motor skills, judgment, and memory…and increases aggressiveness while reducing self awareness.
Drinking and driving can produce disastrous results.

Depressants
2. Barbiturates: Drugs that depress the activity of the central nervous system, reducing anxiety but impairing memory and judgment. Nembutal, Seconal, and Amytal are some examples.
![Page 58: Consciousness and the Two-Track Mind Chapter 3 Unit 5 ~ AP Psychology ~ Ms. Justice](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cc35503460f9498c690/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Depressants
3. Opiates: Opium and its derivatives (morphine and heroin) depress neural activity, temporarily lessening pain and anxiety. They are highly addictive.When repeatedly flooded with an artificial opiate, the brain eventually stops producing its own opiates, endorphins, which can lead to overdose to relieve pain.
