Instruction
we are dealing with Sensation, Perception, and Consciousness. I find these chapters to be very interesting. For this week’s video critique your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to look at all (5) different online visual tests. Once you have gone into all five, I am asking you to write about your reactions to the tests?
1. Fading Dot
2. After Images
3. Color Challenge & Hue Test
4. Facial Recognition
5. Necker Cube
Use the following websites to find all five of these. Requirements are 5-6 sentences per test. Have fun with this.

In a well drafted essay, please choose (1) of the writing prompts listed below. Please keep in mind that you are choosing a topic that is of interest to "you". For example, it would be easy to assign the same question to every student. However, your interests in psychology are different than those of other students. Since you are choosing your own question to answer, you should have an easy time fulfilling the two-page minimum requirement. The 2-page minimum is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. Any submission that is less than two pages will earn significantly reduced credit. Writing assignments such as this one is worth 30% of your final grade. Your submission must also be uploaded to the TURNITIN application. This application is designed to show if students have copied and pasted work from outside resources. Please submit original work. Some students have attempted to pass in work that is not their own. The TURNITIN application will show the instructor where precisely the document was found. Be original. Work Hard, Earn Good Grades. If you do choose to cite the text or any other outside work, please include a works cited or reference page. Typed. Double Spaced. Font: Times (size 12)
1. Define the five levels of awareness and give an example of each.
2. Explain the distinction between automatic and controlled processes.
3. Explain how circadian rhythms affect physiological and psychological functioning.
4. Why do we sleep? What role does sleep play in influencing our psychological and physical health?
5. Garrett pulled an "all-nighter" before his chemistry exam. What consequences will Garrett likely experience as a result of staying up all night to study? Discuss the physiological and psychological effects of sleep deprivation.
6. Compare and contrast rapid eye movement (REM) and non–rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. Do we dream during each type of sleep? If so, are there distinctions between REM and non-REM dreams?
7. Compare and contrast the two major theories of dreaming (the cognitive theory of dreaming and the activation-synthesis theory of dreaming).
8.Differentiate between psychological dependence and physical dependence on psychoactive drugs.
9. Differentiate between depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Explain how these drugs affect physical and psychological functioning.
