Document Summary

Chapter 6 questions: there are three basic characteristics of consciousness, it"s private- no other person can understand the way you perceive the world around you. Self-report- this method gives psychologists detailed insights into subjective experiences, but can be flawed because there is no way of verifying the information given. Physiological measures- using eeg scans to measure brain activity in different states of consciousness allows psychologists to characterize them. Put simply, they work as a team and guide us together through many daily functions: automatic processing occurs when activities require little to no conscious effort. However, the environment also plays a very important role. A free running rhythm is characterized by a lack of stimuli to control the secretions of melatonin. For example, if someone was living in a pitch black cave or in permanent daylight they would most likely suffer from free running circadian rhythms: sad- daylight becomes less and less as the winter months are ushered in.
