Document Summary
Hypnic jerk: knees, legs, or whole body jerks: during early, light sleep (stages 1-2) the brain enters a high-amplitude, slow, regular wave form called theta waves, stage 1 2, stage 3 4. How could you prove to someone that they do indeed dream at night: signs of rem sleep, rapid eye movement under the eyelids. Be able to describe symptoms of each: less sleep, but inaccurate estimates of how much less, sleeping pills and alcohol can aggravate the problem. What is latent learning: three groups of rats were trained to run a maze. The control group, group 1, was fed upon reaching the goal. The first experimental group, group 2, was not rewarded for the first six days of training, but found food in the goal on day seven and everyday thereafter. The second experimental group, group 3, was not rewarded for the first two days, but found food in the goal on day three and everyday thereafter.
