Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

31.0K
In general, 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.

Introduction to Biological Bases of Psychology

3.2K
Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.

Understanding Consciousness

292
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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.8K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

22
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Bodily self-consciousness (BSC) involves awareness of bodily states.
  • Individual differences in BSC are recognized but underlying factors and neural bases are under-explored.
  • BSC integrates internal and external self-relevant information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing research on individual differences in BSC.
  • To explore these differences through a three-level-self model: interoceptive, exteroceptive, and mental self-processing.
  • To identify neural correlates associated with these individual differences.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on individual differences in BSC.
  • Analysis through a three-level-self model (interoceptive, exteroceptive, mental).
  • Examination of neural regions implicated in different levels of self-processing and their interactions.

Main Results:

  • Cross-level factors significantly influence individual differences in BSC.
  • Factors include bodily signal perceptibility, multisensory processing, personal traits, and interaction modes.
  • Specific brain regions (e.g., ACC, insula, parietal lobe, mPFC, IPS) correlate with different aspects of BSC and its variations.

Conclusions:

  • Diverse BSC experiences stem from variations in interoceptive, exteroceptive, and mental self-processing.
  • These levels of self-processing moderate an individual's perception of their body.
  • Acknowledging individual differences in BSC is vital for disease diagnosis and treatment strategies.
