Sleep and Dreaming Log

11/18/09-11/19/09 Classwork

If you were absent from class today, we watched the rest of the video and answered the following questions:
1. Compare REM & NREM sleep with respect to EEG activity, muscular activity, and cognitive activity.
2. Describe the effects of complete, partial, and selective sleep deprivation. What, if anything, do these effects tell us about why we sleep?
3. What do people tend to dream about, and what theories have been proposed to explain why people dream at all?

Your answers should be about half a page to a full page for each question. Each question has several parts to it and I want detailed responses. Be ready to discuss Chapter 5 next class period.

Chapter 5: States of Consciousness Homework

Go to the Psych Sim 5 Website (link under the Useful Websites section of our blog) and complete the 2 tutorials titled "EEG and Sleep Stages" and "Your Mind on Drugs." Then complete the following worksheets for each of the tutorials. Both worksheets are due on Friday, 11/20/09 (P.6), and Monday, 11/23/09 (P.3) If you know you are going on a fieldtrip or are going to be absent on the day that this assignment is due, they need to be turned in the class period before.
