A

Attention

23
Q

What type of memory is analogous to a computer’s RAM?

A

Working memory

24
Q

What type of memory is analogous to a computer’s Hard Drive?

A

Short term memory and long term memory

25
Q

What is cognitive constriction?

A

The squealching of working memory.

26
Q

How does anxiety affect working memory and performance?

A

For good performance, you need a moderate amount of anxiety (think of bell curve)

27
Q

How is psychosis related to neurotransmitters?

A

An increase in dopamine leads to psychosis or perceptual disturbances.

28
Q

What functions are associated with the temporal lobe?

A

Perception/recognition of auditory stimuli; memory; speech

29
Q

What function is associated with the occipital lobe?

A

Visual processing

30
Q

What are the two main components of the brain stem?

A

Midbrain and hindbrain

31
Q

What are the three components of the hindbrain?

A

Medulla, Pons, and Cerebellum

32
Q

What functions are associated with the pons?

A

Bladder control; eye movement; facial expressions; hearing; posture; respiration; sleep; swallowing; taste

33
Q

What are the functions associated with the medulla?

A

Breathing; heart rate; blood pressure

34
Q

What are the functions of the cerebellum?

A

Fine motor control; balance/equilibrium; muscle tone

35
Q

What are the functions of the limbic system?

A

emotion; behavior; motivation; long-term memory; smell

36
Q

What is the function of the thalamus?

A

Command Center of the brain; processes and relays sensory information

37
Q

What is the cerebral cortex?

A

The brain’s outer layer of grey matter consisting of four lobes.

38
Q

What are the four lobes of the cerebral cortex?

A

Frontal; parietal; temporal; and occipital

39
Q

What are the functions of the frontal lobe?

A

reasoning; planning; parts of speech; movement; emotions; problem solving

40
Q

What are the functions associated with the parietal lobe?

A

movement; orientation; recognition; perception of stimuli

41
Q

What diseases does dopamine play a major role in?

A

Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia

42
Q

What is the function of norepinephrine?

A

fight or flight; increase in HR and BP, release of glucose, and increase in blood flow to muscles.

43
Q

What is the function of epinephrine?

A

aids fight or flight; regulates hr, bp, and air passages

44
Q

What is the function of acetylcholine?

A

Slows heart rate, excites muscles

45
Q

What is the function of glutamate?

A

plays a key role in growth and development of neurons; highly involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory

46
Q

What is the function of GABA?

A

regulates neuronal excitability, relieves anxiety, induces relaxation, regulates muscle tone

47
Q

What is substance P?

A

Supbstance P is the pain hormone, which jumps to the front of the line and takes all attention.

48
Q

What is a schema?

A

A psychological construct that allows us to orient, detect, sort, organize and filter information and experiences.

49
Q

What developmental theorist developed the idea of a schema?

A

Piaget

50
Q

How do migraines, seizures, mania, and psychosis damage the brain?

A

Events with high electrical activity or neurotransmitter flooding cause neurons to be repeatedly stunned, eventually causing them to wither and die.

51
Q

What saying summarizes the damage from brain storms?

A

A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

52
Q

What is the mechanism by which self harming behaviors impacts emotional pain?

A

The injury causes the release of substance P which distracts from the emotional pain.

53
Q

How do we integrate the numerous dialectics, such as crisis theory vs medical theory and art vs science of psychotherapy?

A

All are simultaneously true.
