1. Advanced Placement Psychology Review
Ms. Simon

2. Lesson Plan Do Now Review Sensation and Perception
States of Consciousness and Learning
Work together to complete review problems

3. Do Now:
1) Deafness can result from damage to the inner ear or damage to what area of the brain?
A. Connections between the auditory nerve and the auditory cortex of the frontal lobe.
B. Connections between the auditory nerve and auditory cortex in the temporal lobe
C. Connections between the areas of the sensory cortex that receive messages from the ears and the auditory nerves
D. Connections between the hypothalamus and the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe
Connections between the left and right sensory areas of the cerebellum
2) Which chemicals pass across the synaptic gap and increase the possibility that the next neuron in the chain will fire?
A) synaptic peptides
B) inhibitory neurotransmitters
C) adrenaline-type exciters
D) excitatory neurotransmitters
E) potassium and sodium

4. 3) You eat some bad sushi and feel that you are losing control over your muscles. The bacteria you ingested from the bad sushi most likely interferes with the use of:
A) serotonin
B) insulin
C) acetylcholine
D) thorazine
E) Adrenaline
4) The blind spot in our eye results from
A) the lack of receptors at the spot where the optic nerve connects to the retina
B) the shadow the pupil makes on the retina
C) competing processing between the visual cortices in the left and right hemispheres
D) retinal damage from bright light
E) floating debris in the space between the retina and the lens

5. AIM: How can we review Sensation, Consciousness and Learning?
The study of consciousness: We process stimuli without being actively aware
Can you think of any examples of this?
-Mere exposure effect
-Priming
-Blind

6. Sensation and Perception Key Concepts
Transduction-converting physical stimuli into neural signals

7. Trichromatic theory- three types of cones (blue, red, and green)
Opponent-processing theory: sensory receptors in pairs (red/green, yellow/blue)

8. Hearing Gate-Control Theory Place theory versus frequency theory
Gate-control theory- explains why some pain messages have a higher priority than others
Gate-Control Theory
Place theory- hair cells in the cochlea respond to different frequencies of sound based on where they are located
Frequency- hair cells fire at different rates in the cochlea- this leads to different peerceptions of sound

9. Thresholds Just noticeable difference Absolute threshold Weber’s Law
Signal Detection Theory (False negative, false positive)

10. Top-down and Bottom-up Processing
Top Down: relies on perceptual set
I hpoe yuo gte a fvie on teh Avadnced Palecnemt Eaxm.
Bottom-up feature analysis
* How do TOP down and bottom up processing differ?
Bottom-up= features of the object

11. Gestalt Rules
Shape and size constancy

12. Depth Cues

13. We actively process stimuli without conscious awareness
Mere exposure effect
Priming
Blind sight

14. Levels of Consiousness
Conscious
Nonconscious
Preconscious
Subconscious
Unconscious
Conscious awareness
Nonconscious= bodily processesing environment
Subconscious- not consciously aware of , but maybe processed
Unconscious- represed into the uncosncious mind
Preconscious info- remember a memory of a favorite toy for example

15. Sleep Cycle Stage 1= Theta Waves Stage 2= Sleep spindles Stage 3+4=
Delta (deep)
sleep
Sleep- main points:

16. REM Rapid eye movement sleep
Paradoxical sleep- brain waves are active, body is rigid
Deep sleep, REM rebound, more and longer periods of REM
Babies spend more time in REM sleep, as we age our REM time decreases

17. Sleep Disorders Insomnia Narcolepsy Sleep Apnea Night terrors

18. Theories of Dreaming Freudian Activation-synthesis
Information-processing theory

19. Drugs

20. Learning
