• Consciousness: an organism’s subjective awareness of internal and external events in its environment
• Attention: internal processes that set priorities for mental functioning

• Levels of awareness:
–HIGH: Controlled processes that require attention (and interfere with other functions)
–MIDDLE: Automatic processes requiring minimal attention (such as riding your bike)
–LOWEST: Minimal or no awareness of the environment

• Levels of awareness:
–HIGH: Controlled processes that require attention (and interfere with other functions)
–MIDDLE: Automatic processes requiring minimal attention (such as riding your bike)• Automaticity – fast and effortless processing that requires little or no focused attention

Sleep• Sleep is a behavior
AND an altered state of consciousness
• We spend about a third of our lives in sleep.

EEG Changes During Sleep
• Summated brain wave activity (EEG)– Wakefulness: beta activity
(13-30 Hz) – Eyes closed: alpha activity
(8-12 Hz)

EEG Changes During SleepStage 1: Light Sleep – Alpha Waves
Stage 2: Eye movements & brain waves slow; sleep spindles

EEG Changes During Sleep
• Stage 3: very slow waves - delta waves appear
• Stage 4: almost all delta waves– Very hard to wake during this
stage

EEG Changes During Sleep
• REM stage: rapid, irregular and shallow breathing, eyes jerk rapidly, both wake and sleep waves (sawtooth pattern)

Theories of Sleep• Repair/Restoration
–Sleep allows for recuperation from physical, emotional, and intellectual fatigue
• Survival Value–Sleep evolved to conserve energy
and protect our ancestors from predators

“Sometimes,a cigar is just a cigar.”
- Freud, on themeaning of dreams
A.K.A. Psychoanalytic theory: Dreams represent disguised symbols of repressed desires and anxieties Manifest Content: symbols used to disguise true meaning of dreamLatent Content: true unconscious meaning of a dream

Freud’s DreamTheory…

WHY DO WE DREAM!?
• Activation-synthesis hypothesis:–Dreams represent random activation
of brain cells during REM sleep
• Problem Solving–Dreams focus on the problems we
have in an attempt to find a solution
• Threat simulation–Dreams evolved to help us practice
skills we need to avoid threats.

Dyssomnias
• Insomnia - difficulty in getting to sleep or remaining asleep–Situational: related to anxiety or
excitement–Drug-induced: sleeping pills
(tolerance)

Dyssomnias• Sleep apnea: person stops
breathing and is awakened when blood levels of carbon dioxide stimulate breathing
• Narcolepsy: Sleep appears at odd times–Sleep attack: urge to sleep during the
day–Cataplexy: REM paralysis occurs,
person is still conscious

Myths of Sleep• Everyone needs 8 hrs of sleep per night to
maintain good health• Learning of complicated subjects such as
calculus can be done during sleep• Some people never dream• Dreams last only a few seconds• Genital arousal during sleep reflects dream
content• It is unrelated to sexual content• May be a useful index of physical versus
psychological causes of impotence in males
