What is the effect of brain damage on neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity helps the brain recover from damage.
What is the effect of new experiences on neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity allows for adaptation to new experiences and learning.
What is the effect of neurogenesis on learning and memory?
Neurogenesis contributes to learning and memory.
What is the effect of food/oxygen deprivation on consciousness?
It can induce physiological states of consciousness.
What is the effect of exposure to a stimulus on priming?
It influences our response to a later stimulus.
What is the effect of compulsive drug craving on addiction?
Negative consequences.
What is the effect of being blind on other senses?
Enhanced hearing abilities.
What is the effect of psychological dependence on addiction?
A desire for the drug.
What is the effect of being deaf on other senses?
Enhanced visual perception.
What is the effect of unconscious desires on behavior?
They can affect behavior.
Compare neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
Neuroplasticity is about rewiring existing connections, while neurogenesis is about creating new neurons.
Compare conscious and unconscious processing.
Conscious processing is limited, while unconscious processing can handle many details simultaneously.
Compare the conscious and preconscious levels of awareness.
The conscious level is what you are currently aware of, while the preconscious level is information easily retrievable.
Compare the preconscious and unconscious levels of awareness.
Preconscious information is easily retrievable, while unconscious information is not readily accessible.
Compare subconscious and nonconscious levels of awareness.
Subconscious influences behavior, nonconscious controls body processes.
Compare spontaneous and physiological states of consciousness.
Spontaneous arises naturally (daydreaming), physiological induced by bodily changes (hallucinations).
Compare psychological and physiological states of consciousness.
Psychological induced by mental techniques (meditation), physiological induced by bodily changes (hallucinations).
Compare psychological and spontaneous states of consciousness.
Psychological induced by mental techniques (meditation), spontaneous arises naturally (daydreaming).
Compare psychological and psychological dependence.
Psychological dependence is a desire for a drug, psychological states of consciousness are induced by mental techniques.
Compare cognitive neuroscience and dual processing.
Cognitive neuroscience studies biological processes of thought, dual processing suggests conscious and unconscious tracks.
Explain the concept of neuroplasticity.
The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, allowing adaptation to new experiences and recovery from damage.
Explain the concept of neurogenesis.
The growth and formation of new neurons, contributing to learning, memory, and brain healing.
What are the states of consciousness?
Spontaneous, physiological, and psychological.
What is Freud's model of levels of awareness?
Conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.
Explain the concept of dual processing.
We process information on two tracks: conscious and unconscious.
Why is neuroplasticity important?
Helps the brain recover from damage, allows for adaptation to new experiences and learning.
Why is neurogenesis important?
Can help heal the brain and contributes to learning and memory.
What are other levels of consciousness?
Subconscious and nonconscious.
What is the focus of cognitive neuroscience?
Understanding how the brain enables us to learn, remember, and make decisions.
What is the unconscious level of awareness?
A reservoir of unacceptable thoughts and feelings that are processed without awareness.
