KEY: Concept

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 sleep stage 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 to lighter stages of sleep. The return to Stage 1 is usually accompanied by rapid eye movement and REM dream sleep. Then, the sleeper will descend back into deeper sleep with this pattern being repeat four to five times during a normal night of sleep. Although fleeting images do occur during NREM sleep, the dreams of REM sleep are longer and more vivid. REM sleep is also 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.

(2) Sleep restriction, that is, restricting sleep to normal bedtime hours, helps avoid fragmenting sleep rhythms.

(3) Paradoxical intention, that is, trying to keep the eyes open (in the dark) and stay awake as long as possible, will allow sleep to come unexpectedly and lower performance anxiety.

(4) Relaxation through progressive muscle relaxation will help lower arousal before sleep.

(5) Strenuous exercise during the day (not before bedtime) promotes sleep.

(6) Eating starchy foods increases the amount of tryptophan, which increases serotonin, which is associated with relaxation and sleepiness.

(7) Avoid stimulants, especially close to bedtime.

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.

Discuss the two theories of hypnosis, including Hilgard’s demonstration involving a painful bath of ice water; and describe what effect(s) hypnosis has on the following areas: physical strength, memory, amnesia, pain relief, age regression, and sensory changes.

ANS:

Answer will include that one theory of hypnosis is that it is an altered state of consciousness, characterized by narrowed attention and an increased openness to suggestion. This is the best-known state theory of hypnosis proposed by Ernest Hilgard. He argued that hypnosis causes a dissociative state, or “split” in awareness. To illustrate, he asked hypnotized subjects to plunge one hand into a painful bath of ice water. Subjects told to feel no pain said they felt none. The same subjects were then asked if there was any part of their mind that did feel pain. With their free hand, many wrote, “It hurts,” or “Stop it, you’re hurting me,” while they continued to act pain free. Thus, one part of the hypnotized person says there is no pain and acts as if the other part, which Hilgard calls the hidden observer, is aware of the pain but remains in the background. The hidden observer is a detached part of the hypnotized person’s awareness that silently observes events. In contrast, nonstate theorists argue that hypnosis is not a distinct state at all. Instead it is merely a blend of conformity, relaxation, imagination, obedience, and role-playing. For example, many theorists believe that all hypnosis is really self-hypnosis (autosuggestion). From this perspective, a hypnotist merely helps another person to follow a series of suggestions. These suggestions, in turn, alter sensations, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Regarding the effects of hypnosis, 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 this 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.

Compare and contrast the two major forms of meditation; explain the benefits of meditation,

and discuss mild sensory deprivation and its therapeutic 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. A mantra could also be any pleasant word or a phrase from a familiar song, poem, or prayer. If other thoughts arise as you repeat a mantra, just return attention to it as often as necessary to maintain meditation. 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. As a stress-control technique, meditation may be a good choice for people who find it difficult to “turn off” upsetting thoughts when they need to relax. The physical benefits of meditation include lowered heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and other signs of stress as well as improved immune system activity. Meditation has benefits beyond relaxation. Practiced regularly, meditation may foster mental well-being and positive mental skills such as clarity, concentration, and calm. In this sense, meditation may share much in common with psychotherapy. Indeed, research has shown that mindfulness meditation relieves a variety of psychological disorders, from insomnia to excessive anxiety. It can also reduce aggression and the use of psychoactive drugs. Regular meditation may even help people develop better control over their attention, heightened self-awareness, and maturity. Mild sensory deprivation is often accomplished by floating in a tank of warm water in silent darkness for a couple of hours. Sensory deprivation involves a major reduction in the amount or variety of sensory stimulation with brief periods of sensory restriction producing a strong relaxation response. An hour or two spent in a flotation tank can cause a large drop in blood pressure, muscle tension, chronic pain, and other signs of stress. Like other forms of meditation, mild sensory deprivation may also help with more than relaxation. Deep relaxation makes people more open to suggestion, and sensory deprivation interrupts habitual behavior patterns. This can “loosen” belief systems, making it easier for people to quit smoking, lose weight, and reduce their use of alcohol and drugs. Mild sensory deprivation even shows promise as a way to stimulate creative thinking and enhance sports and music performance skills.

Discuss the category of drugs known as narcotics, including their history, their effects and

uses, and why these drugs are so addictive, and identify four examples of narcotic drugs; and

describe and provide an example of a harm reduction strategy, and explain why this strategy is

so controversial.

ANS:

Answer will include that opium poppies have been cultivated throughout recorded history Raw opium, secreted by poppy seedpods, has been used for centuries to produce pain relief. Two narcotics refined from opium, morphine and codeine, are still widely used for that purpose. That narcotics are highly addictive has also long been recognized. Heroin, (“big H”, “dope”, “horse”) derived by further refining morphine, is widely thought to be the most addictive drug of all. Narcotics can produce a powerful feeling of euphoria (“rush”) accompanied by a reduction of anxiety, relaxation, and, of course, pain relief. At higher doses, breathing can be impaired, leading to death. A new wave of narcotics addiction, notable for the number of younger abusers involved, has followed the more recent introduction of oxycodone (Oxycontin), another opium derivative. Another narcotic, methadone, also bears mentioning. Narcotics addicts are often treated with methadone, which reduces the narcotics “rush,” making it much easier to go through withdrawal. Methadone is often freely given to addicts as part of a harm reduction strategy meant to reduce the negative consequences of addiction without requiring drug abstinence. Harm reduction programs are controversial because it can seem as if they merely support substance abusers in their addiction, such as supplying clean needles for drug injections as another example. However, in reality, these harm reduction strategies are often the only hope for addicts who would otherwise cause more harm to themselves and to others.

Discuss the drug marijuana, how it differs from hashish, its drug classification, the effects of

its active ingredient, and the dangers of short- and long-term use of marijuana on the mind

and body.

ANS:

Answer will include that marijuana and hashish are derived from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. Marijuana (“pot,” “grass,” “Ganja,” “MJ”) consists of the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Hashish is a resinous material scraped from cannabis leaves. Marijuana’s psychological effects include a sense of euphoria or well-being, relaxation, altered time sense, and perceptual distortions. At high dosages, paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions can occur. All considered, marijuana intoxication is relatively subtle by comparison to drugs such as LSD or alcohol. Despite this, driving a car while high on marijuana can be extremely hazardous. No overdose deaths from marijuana have been reported, but marijuana cannot be considered harmless. The active ingredient THC accumulates in the body’s fatty tissues, especially in the brain and reproductive organs. Even if a person smokes marijuana just once a week, the body is never entirely free of THC. Scientists have located a specific receptor site on the surface of brain cells where THC binds to produce its effects. These receptor sites are found in several parts of the brain, including prefrontal cortex, which is the seat of human consciousness. In addition, THC receptors are found in areas involved in the control of skilled movement. Naturally occurring chemicals similar to THC may help the brain cope with pain and stress. However, when THC is used as a drug, high doses can cause paranoia, hallucinations, and dizziness. According to recent studies, marijuana does produce a physical dependence. Since frequent users of marijuana find it very difficult to quit, physical dependence is certainly a risk. However, marijuana’s potential for abuse lies primarily in the realm of psychological dependence, not physical addiction. For about a day after a person smokes marijuana, his or her attention, coordination, and short-term memory are impaired. Frequent marijuana users show small declines in learning, memory, attention, and thinking abilities. When surveyed at age 29, nonusers are healthier, earn more, and are more satisfied with their lives than people who smoke marijuana regularly. In fact, marijuana use is associated with mental health problems. People who smoke five or more “joints” a week score four points lower on IQ tests. Fortunately, IQ scores and other cognitive measures rebound in about a month after a person quits using marijuana. Marijuana’s long-term effects include the following health risks: (1) Marijuana smoke contains 50 percent more cancer-causing hydrocarbons and 16 times more tar than tobacco smoke does. Thus, smoking several “joints” a week may be the equivalent of smoking a dozen cigarettes a day. In regular users, marijuana increases the risk of a variety of cancers, including prostate and cervical cancer. (2) Marijuana temporarily lowers sperm production in males, and users produce more abnormal sperm. This could be a problem for a man who is marginally fertile and wants to have a family. (3) In experiments with female monkeys, THC causes abnormal menstrual cycles and disrupts ovulation. Other animal studies show that THC causes a higher rate of miscarriages and that it can reach the developing fetus. As is true for so many other drugs, it appears that marijuana should be avoided during pregnancy. (4) THC can suppress the body’s immune system, increasing the risk of disease. (5) In animals, marijuana causes genetic damage within cells of the body. It is not known to what extent this happens in humans, but it does suggest that marijuana can be detrimental to health. (6) Activity levels in the cerebellum are lower than normal in marijuana abusers. This may explain why chronic marijuana users tend to show some loss of coordination. (7) There is some evidence that THC damages parts of the brain important for memory. (8) Children whose mothers smoked marijuana during pregnancy show lowered ability to succeed in challenging, goal-oriented activities.

Describe Sigmund Freud’s four dream processes and give an example of each.

ANS:

Answer will include the following, although dream examples will vary. To unlock dreams, Freud identified four dream processes, or mental filters, that disguise the meanings of dreams. The first is condensation, in which several people, objects, or events are combined into a single dream image. A dream character that looks like your teacher, acts like your father, talks like your mother, and is dressed like your employer might be a condensation of authority figures in your life. Displacement is a second way of disguising dream content. Displacement may cause important emotions or actions of a dream to be redirected toward safe or seemingly unimportant images. Thus, a student angry at his parents might dream of accidentally wrecking their car instead of directly attacking them. A third dream process is symbolization. Freud believed that dreams are often expressed in images that are symbolic rather than literal. For example, a student dreams of coming to class naked. A symbolic meaning is that the student feels vulnerable or unprepared for class. Secondary elaboration is the fourth method by which dream meanings are disguised. Secondary elaboration is the tendency to make a dream more logical and to add details when remembering it. For example, if one dreamed he or she was in bed, one might add the detail that the time period was night when it might not have been in the dream.
