Name DSM criteria that separate PTSD from other anxiety disorders?

Criterion A: 

The person was exposed to: death, threatened death, actual or threatened serious injury, or actual or threatened sexual violence, in the following way(s):

  • Direct exposure
  • Witnessing the trauma
  • Learning that a relative or close friend was exposed to a trauma
  • Indirect exposure to aversive details of the trauma, usually in the course of professional duties (e.g., first responders, medics)

Path to long-term memory

100

This brain region was thought by Descarte to be the center of consciousness that integrated the mind and body.

The pineal gland.

100

Name the study that investigated modeling aggressive behavior in children.

BoBo doll experiment by Albert Bandura (1961)

100

These can be produced by leading questions.

False memory

200

The percentage of individuals with PTSD and a comorbid illnesses

80%

200

2 primary ways episodic memory is assessed in human research

Recall & recognition

200

This brain region is involved in pain perception, error monitoring, fear conditioning, and cognitive control.

Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.

200

A form of aggression (or an offshoot of aggression) that can either motivate improving performance or lead to negative consequences in feelings and behavior.

Frustration

200

The name for the effect where we focus on central emotional details at the expense of memory for the surrounding peripheral details.

Weapon focus

300

The presentation of two or more diseases or medical conditions .

Comorbidity

300

Area of the brain that is involved in pattern separation. Deficits in this region are associated with development of PTSD

Dentate gyrus

300

This theory says that our decisions arise from our bodies and our minds! Specifically, the integration of peripheral information in our brain that form emotions.

Somatic marker hypothesis

300

Name 2 or more subtypes of aggression

Reactive-impulse subtype

Reactive-inexpressive subtype

Controlled-instrumental subtype

300

This laboratory task is commonly used to investigate the suppression of specific memories.

Think/No think

400

The 2 dominant models of the development of PTSD

Associative learning/Sensitization 

400

Branch of long-term memory that involves conditioning and priming

Non-declarative (implicit)

400

Name of the hypothesis that suggests our brains are wired for social connection.

Social brain hypothesis

400

Neurosurgery for intractable aggression in the 1960s involved mechanical and irreversible destruction of this brain region.

the amygdala

400
This occurs, in part, because it is more advantageous to react quickly in situations with a potentially significant outcome, even if are memories are not entirely accurate.

Memory overconfidence

500

Regions of the brain that are hyperactive & hypoactive in those with PTSD

Hyperactive: Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex/Amygdala

Hypoactive: Ventromedial PFC/Hippocampus

500

A boundary condition for this neurobiological memory process includes a memory that is very old.

Reconsolidation

500

What novel strategy utilizing attention has been utilized to improve depressive and anxiety symptoms?

Attention bias modification training

500

The hormone that decreases the refractory period of neurons in the amygdala

Testosterone

500

Suppressing a memory leads to increases in activation in which brain region
