Description

Psychology 1: Video 3: The Responsive Brain (In: videorespbrain.ws) 1. Key terms: Reciprocal, Feed-forward, Feed-back, Behavior, Modify, physical and psychological stress, learning, maze, Enrichment and deprivation, Plasticity, Perception. From the behaving brain video: please remember learn, scopalomine, physiostingmine, acetylocholine, dendrite, soma, axon, transmitter, and the descriptions of how brain Anatomical structures contain INHERENT behaviors). Those structures common to both videos include brain stem, hippocampus, amygdale and cortex.

Novel terms and definitions

Please take notes in margin where needed: 2. Overview:

a. Brain executes behavior (feed-forwara) that modifies brain structure and

the effort and efficiency to execute future behaviors (feed-back). b. Internal modification of behavior: relationship to memory and the concept of Apriori origin of behavior.

C. The relationship between the Storage of the consequences of actions on the execution of future acts and development of behavior and mental processes.

The role that the Concept of error correction has on energy expended during performance of behavior.

e. Selective advantage that these items might provide.

The relationship these items have with natural selection and ability to survive and reproduce.

g. Please attend to the micro-macro, physical-psychological organization of the examples in the video.

3. Examples illustrating the above topics. Please note that the types of observation included naturalistic and laboratory setting, and initial state and manipulated states were described.

a. Field (Miami U): Premature babies in Intensive Care Unit. Hypothesis: Physical Touch stimulation adjusts neural growth and future cognitive development. Independent variable: infants that do and do not receive massage: Dependent variable: brain weight, alertness, cognitive abilfty. Finding: Massage increased brain activity to 8 months after end of experiment.

b. Shandberg: Rats. Hypothesis: If Mother's physical touch adjusts neural growth and future cognitive development then. Independent variable: rats that do receive mothers touch and rats that receive artificial physical touch when deprived of mother; Dependent variable: brain weight, alertness, cognitive ability. Finding: Mothers touch increased brain activity beyond duration of experiment.

Hypothesis: If Psychological deprivation alters human physiological growth and development, then Finding from observing unique population of children suggests Psychological states alter physiological bio-chemical processes and can be modified by psychological assessment (subjective) of enrichment and deprivation. This study is a seminal contribution to ideas in developmental psychology concerning nature and nurture and the role of experience on development. d. Rosenzwieg and Diamond (Berkley) study: Rats. Hypothesis: If Experience altders brain structure in rats, then Cortical thickness, dendritic spines, and concentration of neurotransmitter increased in Rats housed in an enriched setting and decreased in an impoverished setting. Therefore enrichment and deprivation modifies the physical brain beyond the duration of the experiment. e. Meany (McGill): Rats. Hypothesis: If increased stimulation modifies brain so it is more able to adapt to future stressors, then Glucocorticosteroids concentrations, Heart-rate, and time during tasks involving hippocampus (Conserved across species) that indicate stress did not increase in older rats that had been held when young but did in those rats that were deprived of touch when they were young. Therefore, prior experience involving hippocampus was suggested to improve coping in aged rats, and to impede coping and kill tissue in deprived rats. f. Fernald (Stanford) NeuroEthology: (definition in notes). Fish. Hypothesis: If perception of stress alters genetic expression of peptides involved with physiological and hormonal expression of behavior, then Male hormonal response to intrusion into social (territorial) environment by a new male increased Hippocampal activity (conserved across species) and pituitary output of hormones related to the original male's dominance. g. Sopolsky (Stanford): Baboons. Extended Fernald's finding to include social rank of baboon. Found that predictability of the stressor and control over self, others, and stressor adjusted stress, and discussed variations in style of coping.
