LESSON 2
EXAM

Question 1Dissociation and selective attention are two possible
explanations for the phenomenon of __________.

Question options:

hypnotic analgesia

dissociative personality disorder

posthypnotic suggestion

hypnotic regression

Question 2Sheri has been having difficulty sleeping lately,
and the problem has gotten bad enough that it is interfering with her daily
functioning. At the suggesting of her physician, she goes to a sleep laboratory
to see if something treatable is going on. The sleep specialists want to study
her brain activity while she sleeps, so which of the following instruments is
she most likely to be connected to during the night in the lab?

Question options:

an EMG machine

an EKG machine

an EEG machine

an ESP machine

Question 3What has science suggested is the reason for the
rapid eye movement that occurs in human beings while they are experiencing
vivid dreams?

Question options:

Dreams are visual in nature, and the eyes are responding to
these intrapsychic images. This explains why even blind people experience the
rapid eye movements of REM sleep.

Dreams are mediated by the frontal lobes of the cerebrum,
which are located just behind and above the eyes. This explains why most of the
eye movements are directed upward.

Rapid eye movement is a leftover reflex from an early stage
of human development, when the eyelids were transparent nictitating membranes
that allowed us to continue “seeing” (through our eyelids. while we slept. This
allowed us to unconsciously monitor our surroundings for predators.

The eye movements of REM sleep are the result of an overflow
to the active nervous system.

Question 4Many over-the-counter remedies have names that
resemble the actual chemical or physiological mechanism that they impact. Which
of the following product names would be most likely to affect your ability to
sleep?

Question options:

Superseratone

Dopaminex

Melatonex

Adrenalaccel

Question 5While many Eastern cultures and religions value
meditation as a way of directing consciousness away from worldly
preoccupations, __________ meditation involves a focused awareness of
everything you experience.

Question options:

hyper-alert

omnipresent

mindfulness

sentient

Question 6Franklin had a dream last night that he was
floating down a river in a boat with no oars. He had no motor, no sail, and no
way of controlling the boat. According to Freud, the manifest content of this
dream is __________.

Question options:

feeling like some part of his life is out of control

being resentful at his parents for not giving him a firm
“direction” in life

floating down a river in a boat with no way to steer or
control the boat

being terrified that he is getting married tomorrow

Question 7Researchers have discovered that susceptibility to
hypnosis may be linked to efficiency of the __________ in the brain.

Question options:

striate nucleus

frontal system

corpus callosum

cerebral meninges

Question 8After a very long day at work, Alisa fell asleep
much earlier than usual, somewhere around 7:30 p.m. The television in her
bedroom was left on, and she slept right through the baseball game that was
televised between 8:30 and 11:30 p.m. The next morning, on her way to work, she
had a vague sense that her home team had won the game 7-6 in extra innings.
Amazingly, the announcer came on the air a few moments later and reported that
the home team had won last night in an amazing extra-innings game, with a final
score of 7-6. Alisa probably should not go to work as a psychic, because her
knowledge of the baseball game’s outcome was a result of __________.

Question options:

activation synthesis

subliminal encoding

nonsomnia

hypnopedia

Question 9__________ is defined as the natural loss of consciousness.

Question options:

Hypnosis

Sleep

A coma

Syncope

Question 10What sort of changes in brain waves do people
experience when they are in a deeply meditative or relaxed state?

Question options:

Their brain shows brain wave activity that approximates the
changes associated with the ingestion of a hallucinatory drug, like marijuana
or PCP.

Their brain shows brain wave activity that actually shuts
down completely for brief periods of time, which explains the transcendental
state associated with meditation.

Their brain shows brain wave activity that is similar to
that seen during sleep.

Their brain shows unchanged brain wave activity, suggesting
that the effects of meditation are more of a psychiatric illusion than a
physical event.

Question 11Jared is attending a comedy hypnosis show with
his girlfriend, and he agrees to come up on stage and be hypnotized by the
performer. While he is in a trance, he is given an instruction to flap his arms
like a chicken and grunt like a gorilla as he runs through the crowd. Because
Jared is usually a rather quiet and laid-back person, what do you think is most
likely to happen when he “wakes up” from his trance?

Question options:

He is going to experience a new deep-seated fear of
hypnosis, comics, and nightclubs, because the experience will set up a conflict
that his rooted in his unconscious.

He is most likely to go back to his seat and sit quietly,
because hypnosis cannot make us do things that we would not willingly do in our
regular lives.

He is most likely to do exactly what the performer
instructed him to do, because hypnosis is effective at getting us to act in
direct contravention to our own personality.

He is going to have a delayed response and will start acting
like animals in several hours, because it will take time for the hypnotic
suggestion to overcome his personality reservations.

Question 12Generally speaking, at what point in a
twenty-four-hour period is our body temperature going to be at its peak, or
highest?

Question options:

immediately after our biggest meal

when we first wake up

at midday

right before bedtime

Question 13How do scientists know that night terrors are not
simply an extension of nightmares?

Question options:

Because night terrors occur in stage 1 of NREM sleep, while
nightmares occur in stage 2 of NREM sleep.

Because night terrors occur in stage 2 of NREM sleep, while
nightmares occur in REM sleep.

Because night terrors occur in REM sleep, while nightmares occur
in stage 4 of NREM sleep.

Because night terrors occur in stage 4 of NREM sleep, while
nightmares occur in REM sleep.

Question 14What is the reason why REM sleep is referred to
as paradoxical sleep?

Question options:

The neurons in the central nervous system reverse polarity
and thus reverse the charges of the action and resting potentials during REM
sleep. This reversal is “undone” when we shift into NREM sleep.

The restorative purpose of sleep is actually reversed during
REM sleep, and it drains rather than restores our energy stores.

The muscles of the body remain relaxed even though the brain
is very active.

The EEG activity in the brain during REM sleep suggests that
we start at stage 4 sleep and go backward to stage 1 sleep. During NREM sleep,
we start at stage 1 sleep and go up to stage 4 sleep.

Question 15Which of the following types of brain wave
activity is generally seen as one of the dominant types during stage 1 sleep?

Question options:

zeta waves

echo waves

delta waves

theta waves

Question 16Which of the following is probably the best
explanation for why many people claim that they don’t dream

Question options:

The pituitary excretions in their brains do not activate the
message of the thalamus while they sleep, so they do not experience “sensory
events,” or dreams, in their sleep.

The dorsolateral hypothalamus in their brains is not
actively connected to the ventromedial hypothalamus, and so they are incapable
of coding their REM experiences as dreams.

They do not experience the daily events, both positive and
negative, that stimulate dream activities.

They simply do not remember their dreams; however, if they
were awakened during a REM stage, they would be much more likely to remember a
dream that they just woke up from.

Question 17Abdulkadir had a very strange thing happen to him
last night. He was sound asleep in bed, and he was dreaming that he was at a
party when he won the $250 million-dollar lottery spin. As everyone was screaming,
jumping up and down, and celebrating, Abdulkadir had the strangest sensation
that he was actually dreaming. As it turns out, unfortunately, he was right.
What principle explains this experience?

Question options:

lucid dreaming

conscious dreaming

unconscious dreaming

sentient dreaming

Question 18How many stages of sleep are there in human
beings?

Question options:

extremely difficult to wake him up, and if they do manage to get him awake he
will be groggy and disoriented.

REM
