Question 1

The key to hypnotic induction seems to be related to ________________.&#10;A)the gender of the person doing the hypnotizing&#10;B)education&#10;C)state of suggestibility&#10;D)time of day

Accepted Answer

The state of suggestibility is crucial in hypnotic induction as it determines how receptive an individual is to suggestions given during hypnosis. Factors that can influence suggestibility include personality traits, level of trust in the hypnotist, and the individual's ability to concentrate and focus their attention. Gender, education, and time of day do not directly impact the effectiveness of hypnosis induction.

Question 2

A sleep disorder that may require the use of a machine to force air gently into the nasal passages is called ________________.&#10;A)sleep apnea&#10;B)insomnia&#10;C)narcolepsy&#10;D)cataplexy

Accepted Answer

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. It can be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, which involves using a machine to force air gently into the nasal passages to keep them open. Insomnia is difficulty falling or staying asleep, narcolepsy is a disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden onset of sleep, and cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle tone often triggered by strong emotions. None of these conditions would typically be treated with a CPAP machine.

Question 3

Each of the following is a sleep disorder EXCEPT ______.&#10;A)narcolepsy&#10;B)REM rebound&#10;C)insomnia&#10;D)night terrors

Accepted Answer

Narcolepsy, insomnia, and night terrors are all sleep disorders, but REM rebound is not a disorder. It is a normal phenomenon where a person experiences an increase in the amount and intensity of REM sleep after a period of sleep deprivation or disrupted sleep.

Sleepwalking occurs _________.&#10;A)primarily during REM sleep&#10;B)primarily during NREM Stage 4 sleep&#10;C)equally as often in REM and NREM sleep&#10;D)only in REM sleep

Accepted Answer

Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, occurs during NREM Stage 4 sleep, which is a deep sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves and physical relaxation. It is not typically associated with REM sleep, which is characterized by rapid eye movement and more active brain activity.

Question 5

All of the following result from sleep deprivation EXCEPT ________________.&#10;A)droopy eyelids&#10;B)irritability&#10;C)hyperalertness&#10;D)cognitive impairment

Sleep deprivation results in droopy eyelids, irritability, and cognitive impairment, but not hyperalertness. Lack of sleep often leads to feelings of exhaustion and decreased awareness and attention, rather than increased alertness.

The awareness of mental processes, such as decision-making and daydreaming, is what we refer to as consciousness. Option B, creativity, is not directly related to mental processes but rather refers to the ability to produce original and valuable ideas. Option C, intelligence, is a broader term that involves various mental abilities, such as problem-solving and reasoning. Lastly, option D, self-awareness, refers to the ability to recognize and understand one's own thoughts and feelings. While it is related to consciousness, it is not a term used to describe our awareness of mental processes in general.

Morphine and heroin duplicate the action of ____________.&#10;A)endorphins&#10;B)alcohol&#10;C)cigarettes&#10;D)LSD

Accepted Answer

Sleep spindles are electrical patterns that occur during stage 2 of sleep. They are characterized by bursts of brain activity that last for around one to two seconds and indicate a shift from light sleep to a deeper, more restful sleep.

Russell's need for more of the drug to achieve the same high indicates drug tolerance, which is a common symptom of prolonged drug use. Drug detoxification refers to the process of removing drugs that have accumulated in the body, while withdrawal is the physical and psychological symptoms experienced when a drug is stopped abruptly. "Overdrawal" is not a recognized term in the context of drug use.
