PSYC23H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Sleep Deprivation, Sleep Debt, Stroop Effect
Document Summary
Important to look into how sleep and stress physiology link to psychopathology. Important themes to consider: early relationship experiences and biology (such as sleep) influence how we learn to regulate stress across the life span. Clara rebello: moderate changes in sleep duration have detectable significant effects on children"s neuropsychological functioning (sadeh et al. , 2003) If lower cerebral arousal, then why not lower ans arousal: brain mechanisms, aggression towards self vs. other via an attachment perspective. Independent variables: tasks child stress reactivity protocol, 3 (sleep duration) x 7 (task) with repeated measures, sleep duration. Least < 10 hr (n = 32: moderate = 10 hr (n = 49, most > 10 hr (n = 34) If you subject someone to a daytime stressor (example: social issues) or a physical stressor (squirting lemon juice onto tongue), you experience an impact on your sleep schedule: sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
