The two components of the central nervous system
Brain & Spinal Cord
Awareness or how much [stimuli] you are aware of
What does consciousness focus on?
The number of sleep stages

William James
All about free will and choice, being your best self
Humanist
The chemicals that neurons use to communicate
Neurotransmitters
Theory that the mind and body are one in the same
Monism
The biological pattern that guides our sleep and wakefulness
Circadian rhythm
This wave states that the environment is the best indicator of behaviour
Behaviourist or Wave 4
Jean Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory is found in this perspective
Cognitive Perspective
The nervous system responsible for interacting with the environment
