question
Those working in the interdisciplinary field called ---- study the brain activity associated with perception, thinking, memory, and language
answer
Cognitive Neuroscientists
question
Why did psychologists abandon the study of consciousness during the first half of the twentieth century?
answer
Difficulty of scientifically studying consciousness This led them to look at behaviorism
question
How do most psychologists define consciousness?
answer
Our awareness of ourselves and our environment
question
What does consciousness help us do?
answer
Assemble information from many sources as we reflect on our past and plan for our future Ex. Driving a car becomes "Semi-Automatic"
question
What evidence suggests that a person who appears to be in a vegetative state (non-communicative) may actually understand what they hear?
answer
Ex. When asked to imagine playing tennis, parts of the brain that control arm and leg movement were activated when looking through the fMRI
question
What do psychologists mean by "dual processing"?
answer
"We know more than we know" EXAMPLE: BIRD -When we look at bird flying, we are consciously aware of the result of our cognitive processing ("It's a hummingbird!") but not of our sub-processing of the bird's color, form, movement, and distance neuroscience is that much of our brain work that occurs offstage, out of sight
question
Two Levels of: Dual Processing
answer
Two Levels: a conscious, deliberate "high road" and an unconscious, automatic "low road"
question
What is blindsight?
answer
"When the Blind can see" Example of blindsight and the two-track mind: Researchers Lawrence Weiskrantz trails a blindsight patient down a cluttered hallway -Although told the hallway was empty, the patient meandered around all of the obstacles without any awareness of them
question
Dual Processing Defintion
answer
The principle that information is often simultaneously processed on separate conscious and unconscious tracks
question
Blind Sight: DF Patient Carbon Monoxide damage
answer
- Could put the postcard in a mail slot without error -Sure enough, a scan of DFs brain activity revealed normal activity in the area concerned with reaching for, grasping, and navigating objects, but there was damage in the area concerned with consciously recognizing objects
question
Blindsight Defintion
answer
A condition in which a person can respond to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it
question
What have researchers such as Goodale and Milner learned about vision from studying people with blindsight?
answer
Goodale and Milner concluded: Vision is actually: a dual processing system A "visual perception track" enables us "to think about the world" - to recognize things and plan for the future actions A visual action track guides our moment to moment movements
question
Myers uses the example of driving a car to illustrate the difference between unconscious and conscious processing. For an experienced driver, what part of driving is controlled below the level of consciousness?
answer
Traveling by car on a familiar route, your hands and feet do the driving Below level of consciousness: while your MIND rehearses your upcoming day
question
On a rare occasion: The Two Conflict
answer
Shown the hollow face illusion, people will mistakenly perceive the inside of a mask as a protruding face -Yet they will unhesitantly and accurately reach into the mask to flick off a bug-like target stuck on the face What their conscious mind doesn't know, their hand does
question
EXAMPLE: Another patient, who lost all his left visual cortex, leaving him blind to objects on the right side of his vision field
answer
** can nevertheless sense the emotion expressed in faces he does not consciously perceive The same is true of normally sighted people whose visual cortex has been disabled with magnetic stimulation - This suggests that brain areas below the cortex are processing emotion-related information
question
Brain waves jump at about
answer
0.35 seconds before you consciously perceive your decision to move
question
This readiness potential of 0.35 brain wave jump before you act, has enabled researchers to using fMRI to predict
answer
using fMRI to predict with 60% accuracy and up to 7 seconds ahead - participants decisions to press a button with their left or right finger -The startling conclusion: Consciousness sometimes arrives late to the decision making parking
question
Consciousness - "Our minds CEO"
answer
Consciousness -Enables us to exert voluntary control over behavior - Allows us to communicate about our mental states - Is serial processing - slow and limited in capacity - Is used to solve novel problems
question
The bottom line:
answer
In everyday life, we mostly function like an automatic point and shoot camera, but with a manual (conscious) override
question
Unconscious processing is much faster than conscious processing because it makes use of __________________ processing.
answer
Unconscious: familiar processing (A skilled tennis player's brain and body respond automatically to an oncoming serve before becoming consciously aware of the balls trajectory (which takes about 3/10 of a second) **Has neural assistants Conscious: Actually moving (Hitting the tennis ball)
