High-Level and Low-Level Awareness01:19

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

248
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Subconsciousness and No Awareness01:15

Subconsciousness and No Awareness

230
The concept of subconscious awareness refers to the processing of information below the level of conscious thought, which significantly influences both behaviors and decisions. It is also known as waking subconscious awareness. This complex level of cognition operates without the direct awareness of the individual, facilitating rapid and simultaneous handling of multiple information streams.
An illustrative example of subconscious processing is its role in problem-solving. Often, individuals...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

29
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

375
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Prosopagnosia01:24

Prosopagnosia

142
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

155
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

Summary

Psychological flexibility, an accepting attitude towards loss post-stroke, is a significant predictor of mental health issues. Improving this flexibility may help reduce depression and anxiety in stroke survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Lesion laterality is not a confirmed neurobiological cause of post-stroke psychopathology.
  • Acquired communication disorders are a significant risk factor for depression after stroke.
  • Pre-stroke psychopathology and physical immobility are established risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate psychological flexibility as a novel predictor of post-stroke psychopathology.
  • To understand psychological flexibility as an accepting attitude toward irreversible loss while maintaining agency post-stroke.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study of 70 individuals in the subacute stage after stroke (2 weeks to 6 months).
  • Assessed depression, anxiety, and general psychopathology using standardized measures.
  • Measured psychological flexibility using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II.
  • Controlled for pre-stroke psychopathology and physical immobility (Barthel Index).

Main Results:

  • A significant medium-to-large association was found between overall clinical outcomes and lack of psychological flexibility (r ≤ 0.62, p < 0.001).
  • The association between psychological flexibility and psychopathology did not significantly differ based on the presence of acquired communication disorders (aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysarthria).

Conclusions:

  • Post-stroke psychopathology is substantially linked to psychological flexibility.
  • This finding suggests new research directions for mental health issues in stroke survivors, irrespective of communication disorders.
