PSYC 1000U Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Reuptake, Suggestibility, Hypnotic Induction
Document Summary
Vegetative patients (can understand the types of brain activities, look like the patient doesn"t have any response. Example is tennis to say yes, walking no) We are aware of what we are doing. We are not aware of what we are doing, affect us in various ways. Your body/mind gets use to that action, thought, you no longer have to think of it. We mostly function on auto pilot, with a manual override. Visualize doesn"t work, can"t see, but still can perform proper actions. The brain will feel in the blank, to make it make sense of what the body is doing. Cocktail party effect (interest paying attention, at a basic level of understanding, spotlight shifts) Able to multitask, but can only focus on one thing at a time. Weapon-focus effect (when weapons are involves, most time victims only focus on the weapon instead of who had it)
