Understanding Consciousness01:23

Understanding Consciousness

2.2K
Consciousness can be defined as the state of being aware of and able to think about one's existence, sensations, and surroundings. It encompasses two major components: awareness and arousal. Awareness pertains to the recognition of environmental stimuli and internal states. At the same time, arousal refers to the physiological readiness to engage with these stimuli, which varies significantly between states like sleep and wakefulness.
Sleep, a crucial state, is characterized by reduced...

Attitudes01:54

Attitudes

33.2K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

44.8K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Schemas01:42

Schemas

12.4K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

What is a Sensory System?01:31

What is a Sensory System?

101.4K
Sensory systems detect stimuli—such as light and sound waves—and transduce them into neural signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. In addition to external stimuli detected by the senses, some sensory systems detect internal stimuli—such as the proprioceptors in muscles and tendons that send feedback about limb position.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Medical Ethics

    Background:

    • The Terri Schiavo case revealed public-private discrepancies regarding brain-injured patients.
    • Emotional responses often overshadow scientific understanding in medical decision-making for these patients.

    Discussion:

    • There is a critical need to bridge the gap between public perception and scientific evidence in the care of brain-injured individuals.
    • Legal and public discourse surrounding disorders of consciousness (DoC) indicates a societal need for greater scientific literacy.

    Key Insights:

    • The case underscores the necessity for improved scientific understanding of recovery mechanisms in disorders of consciousness.
    • Enhanced research is crucial for establishing evidence-based standards of care for patients with severe brain injuries.

    Outlook:

    • Future research should focus on elucidating the biological underpinnings of recovery from disorders of consciousness.
    • Translating scientific advancements into clinical practice and public understanding is essential for informed decision-making.
