What is unconscious or subconscious?
This is a 25 hour biological clock.
What is the Circadian Rhythm?
This is why people continue to use drugs and increase their amount.
What are tolerance and withdrawal?

What is depth perception?
This is altered state of consciousness in which people become deeply relaxed & highly suggestible to changes in behaviors
What is hypnosis?
This is the real name for sleepwalking.
Somnambulism
These are drugs that increase neural activity & speed up body functions
What are stimulants?
Identify the fours reasons we dream.
What are...
1. Psychodynamic Theory (Freud): Dreams are our unconscious urges, wishes
2. Neural Activation: REM sleep triggers neural activity that evokes random visual hallucinations, & emotions that our brain weaves into stories
3. Information-processing: Dreams help us sort out the day’s events & consolidate our memories
4. Physiological Function: Brain stimulation from REM sleep helps develop & preserve neural pathways?
This is only uses one eye to perceive depth
What is monocular cues?
This is consciousness is divided into 2 parts - each aware
What is dissociation?
Someone likely has this disease if they suffer from sleeplessness & may fall asleep at unpredictable or inappropriate times
Narcolespy
These are drugs that slow neural activity & body functions
What are depressants?
This is the connecting fibers of the brain.

Stage 4: REM Sleep,
Rapid-Eye-Movement (REM) High-frequency brain waves, increased pulse & breathing, paralysis of large muscles & dreaming. may help with learning & consolidating new memories
Identify the falling categories of drugs:
Identify and describe the 6 monocular cue and 2 binocular cues.
Perspective: Objects far away appear smaller
Clearness :We see more details in closer objects
Overlapping: Nearby objects block view of objects further away
Shadow :Shadows show 3-D
Gradient Texture: Texture far away appears denser and less varied
Motion Parallax: Objects closer move farther in our visual field
BINOCULAR:
Retinal disparity
images from the two eyes differ
closer the object, the larger the disparity
Convergence
neuromuscular cue
two eyes move inward for near objects
