In the text, consciousness is defined as: “our awareness of ourselves and our environment.”
Aren’t animals aware of their environment? If so, is our awareness different?...Possibly…because we have (uniquely?) a narrative experience of that awareness.
Consciousness is… alertness; being awake
vs. being unconscious self-awareness; the
ability to think about self
having free will; being able to make a “conscious” decision
a person’s mental content, thoughts, and imaginings
To explore the nature of consciousness, it helps to first choose a definition.

Are animals “conscious”?

2012 Cambridge Declarationon Consciousness
“Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical and neurophysiologial substrates of conscious states, along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviours.”

Psychology’s Relationship to this TopicPsychology was once defined as “the description and explanation of states of consciousness.”Now, consciousness is just one topic among many for psychologists.
Cognitive neuroscience allows us to revisit this topic and see how the brain is involved.

Brain and Consciousness: Findings and Debates
FindingSome rare
“unconscious” patients have brain responses to
conversation.
ImplicationDon’t judge a book by its cover when it
comes to consciousness.
DebateWhat is going on in the brain that
generates our experience of
consciousness?
One ViewSynchronized, coordinated
brain activity generates consciousness, or at least
is a sign that conscious activity is occurring.

Conscious vs. Unconscious Activity: The Dual-Track Mind
Conscious “high” track:our minds take deliberate actions we know we are
doing Examples: problem solving, naming an object, defining a
word
Unconscious “low” track:our minds perform automatic actions, often without being
aware of themExamples: walking, acquiring phobias, processing sensory details into perceptions and
memories
Conscious:
“I saw a bird!”
Unconscious:

Think before you act?
Why Have Two Tracks?Benefit? SLOW Thinking Action controlled processing FAST Perception Action automatic processing
Examples You can hit or catch a ball without having to consciously
calculate its trajectory. You can speak without having to think about the definitions
of each word. You can walk and chew gum AND carry on a conversation.

Case StudyA woman with brain damage, but NO eye damage, was unable to use her eyes to report what was in front of her.BUT, she was able to use her eyes to help her take actions such as putting mail in slots.
What are the two mental “tracks” in this case?
Blindsight
Judging size and distance well enough to put the mail in the slot: the “low road,” or unconscious, automatic track, in this case known as the visual action track
Describing the mail and the slot:the “high road,” or conscious track, in this case known as the visual perception track

Selective inattention refers to our failure to notice part of our environment when our attention is directed elsewhere.
Selective Inattention: inattentional blindness change blindness choice blindness
Selective Inattention:what we are not focused
on, what we do not notice
Selective Attention: what we focus on,
what we notice

Inattentional Blindness Various experiments show that when our attention is
focused, we miss seeing what others may think is obvious to see (such as a gorilla, or a unicyclist).
Some “magic” tricks take advantage of this phenomenon.
![Page 42: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Change Blindness
Two-thirds of people didn’t notice when the person they were giving directions to was replaced by a similar-looking person.
The Switch
By the way, did you notice whether the replacement person was in the same
clothes or different clothes?
![Page 43: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Choice BlindnessIn one experiment, people chose their favorite among two jams. But when the jar’s contents were deceptively reversed and tasted again, people described the same jar’s contents as their chosen jam.
The researcher flips the divided containers, so that the next taste from that jar is actually the other jam.

And now, to SLEEP--
perchance, to Dream
![Page 45: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
How Do We Learn About Sleep and Dreams?
We can monitor EEG/brain waves and muscle movements during sleep.
We can expose the sleeping person to noise and words, and then examine the effects on the brain (waves) and mind (memory).
We can wake people and see which mental state (e.g. dreaming) goes with which brain/body state.
Sleep as a State of Consciousness
Consider that: we move around, but how do
we stop ourselves from falling out of bed?
we sometimes incorporate real-world noises into our dreams.
some noises (our own baby’s cry) wake us more easily than others.
When sleeping, are we fully unconscious and “dead to
the world”?
Or is the window to consciousness open?

Sleep and Biological Rhythms
24 hour biological “clock”
90 minute sleep cycle

Understanding Biological Rhythms
Biological rhythmsA periodic, more or less regular fluctuation in
a biological system; may or may not have psychological implications
EntrainmentBiological rhythms are synchronized with
external events such as changes in clock time, temperature, and daylight
![Page 48: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Circadian RhythmsOccur about every 24 hoursExample: The sleep-wake cycle
Infradian RhythmsOccur less often than once a dayExamples: birds migrating, bears hibernating
Ultradian Rhythms greater than 1/day, e.g., about every 90mineg: stomach contractions and hormone levels

Your degree of alertness depends where you are in your circadian rhythm.
Are you are morning person or an evening person?

Morningness-Eveningness
Alertness is correlated with temperaturetemperature average peak/trough:
Highest at 8pm, Lowest at 6am
Individual differencesLark (morning) vs Owl (evening)very stable over timechanges with agewide individual differences (16-50 hr cycles)

Cunia et al. (2014) Honesty requires self-control Self-control is related to alertness
Q: Does chronotype affect honesty?
Time of day ethicality ? Time of day x Chronotype ethicality ?

Menstrual Cycles and Mood Does the menstrual cycle influence
women’s mood at certain times?
Yes, physical symptoms are common No, emotional symptoms are rare
Irritability and depressionFewer than 5% of womenPremenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD)
![Page 65: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Cause? Leading theory= Serotonin drop From changes in progesterone, estrogen, and
testosterone changes in late luteal phaseVariants in the estrogen receptor alpha gene
that are associated with PMDDVariants in COMT gene (mood regulator)Abnormal sensitivity to their own natural
hormone changes.Symptoms do correlate with drop in serotonin
precursors (in brain) as measured by PETSSRIs work, supports serotonin theory

Research Conclusions about “PMS” No gender differences
exist in monthly mood
No relation between menstrual cycle and mood !
No consistent “PMS” pattern exists across menstrual cycles
No connection exists between “PMS” and behaviour
![Page 67: Chapter 3 Consciousness and the Two- Track Mind. SyllabusExam2 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 8, 9, 10 Consciousness 18, 19, 20 Sensation & Percep](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d630/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Why Women Overestimate “PMS”Selective attention: Notice depression or
irritability when occurs premenstrually but overlook times when moods are absent
Selective attribution: prementrual irritability to mentruation but attribute it to other things at other times.
Influenced by normative beliefs about PMS
CONFIRMATION BIAS

Night Work, Sleeping, & Health
Jet Lag stressful, cortisol is elevated
Rotating night shifts are much worse than constant night shift
As study of railroad engineers found 60% had dozed off at the controls during night trips.
20-30% of traffic accidents per/year are associated with driver sleepiness or fatigue
