151. Explain the concept of executive function in the context of cognitive control.
Executive function is a key aspect of controlled processing. It refers to higher-order, complex cognitive processes, including
thinking, planning, and problem solving. These cognitive processes are linked to the functioning of the brain’s prefrontal cortex.
Executive function is the person’s capacity to harness consciousness, to focus on specific thoughts while ignoring others. This
aspect of executive function is called cognitive control; it is the capacity to maintain attention by reducing interfering thoughts
and being cognitively flexible.

152. Explain the five levels of awareness, and give an example for each level.
Higher-level consciousness involves the use of controlled processing (deliberate and effortful focus on a goal). When we are
taking a math test, we are engaged in a high-level consciousness activity. Lower levels of awareness include automatic processes
and daydreaming. Punching in a number on a cell phone is one such example. Automatic processes require little attention and do
not interfere with other ongoing activities. Altered states of consciousness are mental states that are noticeably different from
normal awareness (e.g., sleeping or dreaming). Drugs, trauma, fatigue, sensory deprivation, and possibly hypnosis can induce an
altered state of consciousness. Subconscious awareness can occur when people are awake, as well as when they are sleeping and
dreaming. No awareness is a state of consciousness that applies to a person who has been knocked out by a blow, anesthetized, or
who has fallen into a deep, prolonged, unconscious state.

Daydreaming lies between active consciousness and dreaming while asleep. It is a little like dreaming while a person is awake.
Daydreams usually begin spontaneously when a person is doing something that requires less than his or her full attention. Mind
wandering is probably the most obvious type of daydreaming. Daydreaming keeps a person’s mind active, helping him or her to
cope, create, and fantasize.

Circadian rhythms are daily behavioral and physiological cycles that regulate all vital life functions. Daily circadian rhythms
regulate a person’s sleep/wakefulness cycle, body temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar level. When circadian rhythms
are disrupted, all of the major physiological functions listed above become desynchronized. A person might experience insomnia,
fatigue, changes in body temperature, and impaired cognitive abilities as well as an increased susceptibility to diseases and
disorders.

156. Discuss the effects of chronic sleep deprivation.
Lack of sleep is stressful, affecting the brain and the rest of the body. Sleep deprivation lowers the complexity of processing in
the brain because it decreases brain activity in the thalamus and the prefrontal cortex. As a result, people who get insufficient
sleep have trouble paying attention to tasks and solving problems. The profound effect of sleep deprivation is vividly clear in a
very rare disorder known as fatal familial insomnia (FFI). Cheating on sleep results in a “sleep debt.” Even a small sleep debt can
take a toll on well-being.

Three important neurotransmitters involved in sleep are serotonin, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine. Levels of neurotransmitters
sent to the forebrain from the reticular formation start dropping as sleep begins, and they continue to fall until they reach their
lowest levels during the deepest sleep stage—stage N3. An increase in acetylcholine levels initiates REM sleep, and a rise in
serotonin and norepinephrine marks the end of REM sleep.

158. Melinda has two children. Her eight-year-old daughter, Emma, awakens during a bad dream. After a minute, she gets up and
goes to Melinda’s room and asks, “Mommy, are you up?” Melinda wakes up and asks her why she is up during the night. Emma
says, “Mommy, I dreamt that a monster was chasing me.” Seeing that Emma is a little perturbed, Melinda talks to her for a few
minutes, gets her some warm milk, and tucks her back into bed. An hour later, Emma’s younger sister Katie, who is six years old,
awakens screaming. Melinda runs to her room and checks on her. She does not seem to be in pain, feverish, or sick, but she has
rapid heart rate and breathing. She asks Katie what the matter is. Katie cries and says, “Mama, I’m scared!” Melinda asks her
why. Katie frowns and says, “I don’t know!” Melinda asks, “Did you have a bad dream?” Katie answers, “I don’t remember,
Mama. Did I?” What are the terms used to describe Emma’s and Katie’s experiences? Compare and contrast these experiences.
Emma had a nightmare. Nightmares are frightening dreams that awakens a dreamer from REM sleep. The nightmare’s content
invariably involves danger—the dreamer is being chased, robbed, or thrown off a cliff. Katie had a night terror. Night terrors are
accompanied by a number of physiological reactions, such as rapid heart rate and breathing, loud screams, heavy perspiration,
and movement. Night terrors, which peak at 5 to 7 years of age, are less common than nightmares, and unlike nightmares, they
occur during slow-wave stage N3 (non-REM) sleep.

159. Explain narcolepsy and its effects.
Narcolepsy, a sleep disorder, involves a sudden, overpowering urge to sleep. This urge is so uncontrollable that the person may
fall asleep while talking or standing up. Narcoleptics immediately enter REM sleep rather than progressing through the first four
sleep stages. Individuals with narcolepsy are often very tired during the day. Narcolepsy can be triggered by extreme emotional
reactions, such as surprise, laughter, excitement, or anger. The disorder appears to involve problems with neurons in the
hypothalamus and may have an autoimmune component.

160. Describe sleep apnea and its symptoms.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which individuals stop breathing because the windpipe fails to open or because brain processes
involved in respiration fail to work properly. People with sleep apnea experience numerous brief awakenings during the night so
that they can breathe better, although they usually are not aware of waking up. During the day, these people may feel sleepy
because they were deprived of sleep at night. A common sign of sleep apnea is loud snoring, punctuated by silence (the apnea).

161. Compare and contrast the features of REM and non-REM sleep. Do we dream during each type of sleep? If so, are there
distinctions between REM and non-REM dreams?
Specialists refer to sleep stages 1–4 as non-REM sleep. REM is an active stage of sleep that occurs in stage 5. The EEG
(electroencephalograph) pattern for REM sleep shows fast waves similar to those of relaxed wakefulness. During REM sleep, the
sleeper’s eyeballs move up and down and from left to right. Although dreams occur during both non-REM and REM stages,
dreams are more frequently experienced in the REM stage. REM dreams are typically longer, more vivid, more physically active,
more emotionally charged, and less related to waking life than non-REM dreams.

162. How does psychological dependence differ from physical dependence in the context of drug use?
Psychological dependence is the strong desire to repeat the use of a drug for emotional reasons, such as a feeling of well-being
and reduction of stress. Physical dependence is the physiological need for a drug that causes unpleasant withdrawal symptoms
such as physical pain and a craving for the drug when it is discontinued. Addiction is a term that is used to describe either a
physical or a psychological dependence, or both, on a drug.

163. How does alcohol influence the brain?
Alcohol goes to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). Alcohol increases the concentration of the
neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is widely distributed in many brain areas, including the cerebral
cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens. The increase in GABA has a calming effect. In addition,
increases in dopamine in reward areas are associated with the experience of pleasure and a decrease in anxiety. Alcohol
consumption also may affect the areas of the frontal cortex involved in judgment and impulse control.

164. Describe the effects of stimulants.
Stimulants are psychoactive drugs that increase the central nervous system’s activity. They generally produce a sense of increased

165. Discuss the nature and uses of hypnosis.
Patterns of brain activity during the hypnotic state suggest that hypnosis produces a state of consciousness similar to other states
of consciousness. For example, individuals in a typical hypnotic state display a predominance of alpha and beta waves,
characteristic of people in a relaxed waking state, when monitored by an electroencephalograph (EEG). If a person has the
capacity to immerse himself or herself deeply in an imaginative activity, he or she might be a likely candidate for hypnosis. In the
United States, practitioners of hypnosis use the technique to treat alcoholism, somnambulism, insomnia, depression, suicidal
tendencies, post-traumatic stress disorder, overeating, diabetes, smoking, and various types of pain. A long history of research
and practice has clearly demonstrated that hypnosis can reduce the experience of pain.
