Have my first SAC next Monday, and we have been given a sheet of questions to revise on so I thought I would post them up on here and see how you would answer them; just to get an idea of how other people articulate their answers.
Short Answer:
1. How does heart rate, body temperature, galvanic skin response and EEG measure the states of consciousness?
2. Explain a controlled process.
3. What happens in REM sleep, and how many total hours of REM are there in infancy, adolescence and old age?
4. What is the purpose of both REM sleep and NREM sleep?
5. What are two benefits of meditation?
6. What is 1 perceptual and 1 cognitive distortion you may experience while in an Altered State of Consciousness?
7. Why are there no long term effects of total sleep deprivation?
8. What does 'delayed sleep phase syndrome' involve?
Extended Answer:
1. Explain the differences between the 2 theories of Consciousness (William James and Rene Descartes)
Thanks everyone! would be great to get some responses for the questions ! :)
