Question 1: alpha wave
Answer:
type of relatively low frequency, relatively high amplitude brain wave that becomes synchronized; characteristic of the beginning of stage 1 sleep
Question 2: depressant
Answer:
drug that tends to suppress central nervous system activity
Question 3: manifest content
Answer:
storyline of events that occur during a dream, per Sigmund Freud's view of the function of dreams
Question 4: Slow-Wave Sleep
Answer:
________ appears to be especially important for enhanced performance on recently learned tasks.
Question 5: theta wave
Answer:
Sleep is composed of several different stages that can be differentiated from one another by the patterns of brain wave activity that occur during each stage. While awake, our brain wave activity is dominated by
Question 6: REM
Answer:
------ is when dreams occur. It is also associated with paralysis of muscle systems in the body with the exception of those that make circulation and respiration possible.
Question 7: Stage 3 & Stage 4
Answer:
________ is(are) described as slow-wave sleep.
Question 8: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep
Answer:
period of sleep characterized by brain waves very similar to those during wakefulness and by darting movements of the eyes under closed eyelids
Question 9: obstructive sleep apnea
Answer:
sleep disorder defined by episodes when breathing stops during sleep as a result of blockage of the airway
Question 10: Hertz
Answer:
The frequency of a brain wave is how many brain waves occur in a second, and frequency is measured in -------
Question 11: delta wave
Answer:
type of low frequency, high amplitude brain wave characteristic of stage 3 and stage 4 sleep
Question 12: K-complex
Answer:
very high amplitude pattern of brain activity associated with stage 2 sleep that may occur in response to environmental stimuli
Question 13: Latent
Answer:
The ________ content of a dream refers to the true meaning of the dream.
Question 14: Alpha Waves
Answer:
While relaxed or sleepy
Question 15: stimulant
Answer:
drug that tends to increase overall levels of neural activity; includes caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine
Question 16: stage 4 sleep
Answer:
fourth stage of sleep; deep sleep characterized by low frequency, high amplitude delta waves
Question 17: Rapid eye movement (REM)
Answer:
-------- sleep is characterized by darting movements of the eyes under closed eyelids. Brain waves during ----- sleep appear very similar to brain waves during wakefulness. In
Question 18: 13-30 Hz
Answer:
As compared to the brain wave patterns while asleep, beta waves have the highest frequency (--------) and lowest amplitude, and they tend to show more variability.
Question 19: central sleep apnea
Answer:
An individual may suffer from ________ if there is a disruption in the brain signals that are sent to the muscles that regulate breathing.
Question 20: REM rebound
Answer:
If people are deprived of REM sleep and then allowed to sleep without disturbance, they will spend more time in REM sleep in what would appear to be an effort to recoup the lost time in REM.
Question 21: Delta Waves
Answer:
During stage 3 (deep sleep)
Question 22: non-REM (NREM)
Answer:
period of sleep outside periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep
Question 23: NREM stage 3 sleep
Answer:
------ is often referred to as deep sleep or slow-wave sleep because this stage is characterized by low frequency (less than 3 Hz), high amplitude delta waves
Question 24: sleep spindle
Answer:
A --------- is a rapid burst of higher frequency brain waves that may be important for learning and memory
Question 25: alpha waves
Answer:
Early portion of stage 1 sleep produces (). These patterns of electrical activity (waves) resemble that of someone who is very relaxed, yet awake, but are more synchronized and are lower in frequency (8-12 Hz) and higher in amplitude than beta waves
Question 26: Hypnosis
Answer:
Meditation may be helpful in ________.
