1.Concerning altered states of consciousness, (a) describe characteristics of an altered state of consciousness, (b)  describe some everyday situations in which people experience these altered states, and (c) describe the intentional uses and meanings of the altered states within another culture.
ANS:
Answer will include that during an altered state of consciousness (ASC) changes occur in the quality and pattern of mental activity. Typically there are distinct shifts in perceptions, emotions, memories, time sense, thoughts, feelings of self-control, and suggestibility. Some everyday situations in which people experience ASCs are sleep, dreaming, daydreaming, highway hypnotism, high fever, sleep loss, drug intoxication, and hyperventilation.  All cultures and most religions recognize and accept some alterations of consciousness. Many cultures regard ASCs as a pathway to personal enlightenment. Examples are the Yoga practices of Hindu mystics, the dances of the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey, and the sweat lodges of the Sioux.

3.Your psychology instructor states that during a night of sleep, a person goes through cycles of light and deep sleep, while also experiencing bodily changes. Using a description of the stages of NREM and REM, describe a night of sleep, including the type of brain waves present and the characteristics of each NREM and the characteristics of REM sleep.
ANS:
Answer will include that as the eyes close, breathing becomes slow and regular, the pulse rate slows, and body temperature drops. Soon after, four separate sleep stages occur. NREM Stage 1: As you enter light sleep, your heart rate slows even more. Breathing becomes more irregular. The muscles of your body relax. This may trigger a reflex muscle twitch called a hypnic jerk. In Stage 1 sleep the EEG is made up mainly of small, irregular waves with some alpha. Persons awakened at this time may or may not say they were asleep. NREM Stage 2: As sleep deepens, body temperature drops further. Also, the EEG begins to include sleep spindles, which are short burst of distinctive brain-wave activity. Spindles seem to mark the true boundary of sleep. Within four minutes after spindles appear, most people will say they were asleep. NREM Stage 3:  In Stage 3, a new brain wave called delta begins to appear. Delta waves are very large and slow. They signal a move to deeper sleep and a further loss of consciousness. NREM Sage 4: Most people reach deep sleep in about an hour. Stage 4 brain waves are almost pure delta and the sleeper is in a state of oblivion. If awakened in this stage, the sleeper will wake up in a state of confusion and may not remember what awakened them. After spending some time in Stage 4, the sleep returns through Stages 3 and 2 to stage 1. This return to Stage 1 is usually accompanied by rapid eye movement and REM dream sleep. Then, the sleeper will descend back through Stages 2, 3, 4, then back through 3, 2, and 1 with a second REM sleep state occurring. This pattern will repeat four to five times during a normal night of sleep. REM sleep (dream sleep) is a time of high emotion. The heart beats irregularly. Blood pressure and breathing waver. Both males and females appear to be sexually aroused with males usually having an erection and genital blood flow increasing in women. During REM sleep the body becomes quite still, as if you were paralyzed, which keeps one from acting out their dreams.

ESSAY
1.Your sister and her daughter are visiting you. On the first night of their visit, your preschool niece awakens everyone by sitting up in bed screaming. She is still screaming when you and your sister get to her. As you try to console her, you realize that she is sweating profusely and is not really awake. The next morning, you ask her what caused her to scream. Was it a bad dream? Your niece does not seem to know what you are talking about. Then, you remember what the problem could be. Describe the sleep disturbance your niece is experiencing and explain why it is not a bad dream.
ANS:
Answer will include that the niece is having a night terror, which is different from ordinary nightmares. Night terrors occur during NREM when a person’s muscles are not paralyzed, so the niece could sit up in bed and scream. If she had just had a nightmare, she would not have been able to sit up or scream because muscles are paralyzed during REM sleep. People often remember nightmares, but night terrors are rarely remembered by the person having them. Night terrors are common in childhood. During these Stage 4 night terrors, the child will suffer total panic and may hallucinate frightening dream images with an attack lasting 15 to 20 minutes and the child awakening profusely sweating.
DIF: Moderate REF: Module 5.2 KEY: www MSC: TYPE: Application
2.Contrast the activation-synthesis hypothesis with the neurocognitive dream theory and include the names of the theorists who proposed each theory.
ANS:
Answer will include that according to Hobson and McCarley’s activation-synthesis hypothesis, several parts of the brain are activated during REM sleep. This triggers sensations, motor commands, and memories. The cortex of the brain, which also becomes more active during REM sleep, synthesizes this activity into stories and visual images. However, frontal areas of the cortex, which control higher mental abilities, are mostly shut down during REM sleep. This explains why dreams are more primitive and more bizarre than daytime thoughts. Viewed this way, dreams are merely a different type of thinking that occurs during sleep. According to William Domhoff’s neurocognitive dream theory, dreams actually have much in common with waking thoughts and emotions. Domhoff believed that most dreams reflect ordinary waking concerns because many brain areas that are active when we are awake remain active during dreaming. From this perspective, dreams are a conscious expression of REM sleep processes that are sorting and storing daily experiences.

ESSAY
1.Describe what effect(s) hypnosis has on the following areas: physical strength; memory; amnesia; pain relief; age regression, and sensory changes; and explain the techniques used by stage hypnotists that make people believe they are seeing a demonstration of hypnosis when they are not.
ANS:
Answer will include that hypnosis has no more effect on physical strength than instructions that encourage a person to make his or her best effort. There is some evidence that hypnosis can enhance memory. However, it frequently increases the number of false memories as well. For this reason, many states now bar persons from testifying in court if they were hypnotized to improve their memory of a crime they witnessed. A person told not to remember something heard during hypnosis may claim not to remember but may be nothing more than a deliberate attempt to avoid thinking about specific ideas. However, brief memory loss of this type actually does seem to occur. Hypnosis can relieve pain and is especially useful when chemical painkillers are ineffective, such as with phantom limb pain. Given the proper suggestions, some hypnotized people appear to “regress” to childhood. However, most theories now believe that “age-regressed” subjects are only acting out a suggested role. Hypnotic suggestions concerning sensations are among the most effective. It is possible to alter color vision, hearing sensitivity, time sense, perception of illusions, and smell. Stage hypnosis is about 50 percent taking advantage of the situation and 50 percent deception. stage hypnotists make use of several features of the stage setting to perform their acts. (1) Waking suggestibility: On stage people are unusually cooperative because they don’t want to “spoil the act.” (2) Selection of responsive subjects: Participants in stage hypnotism are first “hypnotized” as a group, but then, anyone who doesn’t yield to instructions is eliminated. (3) The “hypnosis label” disinhibits: On stage, being “hypnotized” takes away personal responsibility for one’s actions, so one can act silly without fear or embarrassment. (4) The hypnotists acts as a “director” with the responses of the audience bringing out the “ham” in many people. (5) The stage hypnotists uses tricks.
DIF: Moderate REF: Module 5.3 KEY: www MSC: TYPE: Concept
2.Describe the two major forms of meditation and the technique known as REST and its uses.
ANS:
Answer will include that meditation takes two major forms. In concentrative meditation, you attend to a single focal point, such as an object, a thought, or your own breathing. (Often, a mantra, which is a smooth word like “om,” is used as the focal point.) In contrast, mindfulness meditation is “open,” or expansive. In this case, you widen your attention to embrace a total, non-judgmental awareness of the world. An example is losing all self-consciousness while walking in the wilderness with a quiet and receptive mind. Mindfulness meditation is more difficult to attain than concentrative meditation. REST stands for Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, which is the use of sensory restriction, such as having the individual spend an hour or two in a floatation tank. This mild sensory deprivation causes a large drop in blood pressure, muscle tension, and other signs of stress. Deep relaxation makes people more open to suggestion and interrupts habitual behavior patterns. As a result, REST can “loosen” belief systems and make it easier to change bad habits. Mild sensory deprivation can help people quit smoking, lose weight, and reduce their use of alcohol and drugs. It has also shown promise in stimulating creative thinking and enhancing performance in skilled sports, such as gymnastics, tennis, basketball, darts, and marksmanship. There is also evidence that REST can relieve chronic pain and reduce stress.
