VERIFIED ANSWERS EXAM QUESTIONS WILL COME
FROM HERE (100% CORRECT ANSWERS A+ GRADED
Procedural memory - ANSWERS--Stores information about how to do
things, such as skills and actions
Fixed interval example - ANSWERS--Weekly paycheck; doctor
administering painkiller every hour
Internal stimuli - ANSWERS--Thoughts, feelings, and awareness of the
state of our bodies, such as pain, hunger, and thirst
External stimuli - ANSWERS--Anything causing a sensation you can
perceive, such as light, warmth, or sound
States of consciousness - ANSWERS--Wakefulness, sleep, and altered
states
Altered state of consciousness - ANSWERS--A shift in the quality or
pattern of mental activity compared to wakefulness
,2|Page
Examples of altered states of consciousness - ANSWERS--Daydreaming,
intoxication, anesthesia, and meditation
Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) - ANSWERS--The brain's clock
mechanism located within the hypothalamus
Function of the SCN - ANSWERS--Syncs the body's internal clock with
the outside world
Light-sensitive neurons - ANSWERS--Retinal neurons that provide the
SCN with information about light levels
Darkness triggers - ANSWERS--The SCN to signal the pineal gland to
produce melatonin and promote sleepiness
Sleep - ANSWERS--A state marked by relatively low physical activity and
reduced sensory awareness
Sleep regulation disruptions - ANSWERS--Jet lag, insomnia, and rotating
shift work
Sleep debt - ANSWERS--Chronic insufficient sleep
,3|Page
Sleep rebound - ANSWERS--The tendency to fall asleep faster or sleep
more after sleep deprivation
Jet lag - ANSWERS--A mismatch between internal circadian rhythms and
the external world
Rotating shift schedules - ANSWERS--Schedules that change from early

, 4|Page
NREM sleep - ANSWERS--All sleep stages other than REM, distinguished
by brainwave activity
Brainwaves during sleep - ANSWERS--They change across sleep stages
and are measured with an EEG
Alpha waves - ANSWERS--Low-frequency, moderate- to high-amplitude
brain waves common in relaxed wakefulness and early sleep
Deep relaxation waves - ANSWERS--The brain activity of NREM stage 2,
including theta waves, sleep spindles, and k-complexes
Theta waves - ANSWERS--Low-frequency, low-amplitude brain waves
Sleep spindles - ANSWERS--Rapid bursts of high-frequency brain activity
during NREM stage 2
NREM stage 3 - ANSWERS--Slow-wave sleep, the deepest stage of
NREM sleep
Slow-wave sleep waves - ANSWERS--Delta waves
Delta waves - ANSWERS--Low-frequency, high-amplitude brain waves
seen in deep sleep
