Unit 3 AoS 1 Revision

Neurotransmitter associated with learning and memory.

Name for long term stress.

Second stage of GAS.

• Exhaustion

• Flight or Fight

• Alarm Reaction

• Resistance

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Sympathetic NS

,

(b) Parasympathetic NS

• Stimulates salivation

• Inhibits digestion

• Decreases heart rate

• Stimulates glucose levels

• Contracts bladder

• Dilates pupils

• Enables digestion

Inhibitory neuromodulator that impacts mood and sleep ​ (a)   ​

Neuromodulator that can be BOTH inhibitory and excitatory, involved with pleasure, rewards​ (b)  

• Serotonin
• Dopamine
• GABA

Which of the following is a limitation of the Transactional Model?

• • It is difficult to test through experimental research because of the subjective nature of individual responses to stress.

• It emphasises the personal nature and individuality of the stress response, accounting for why individual responses to an event vary widely.

• It identifies various biological processes that occur as a part of the stress response, such as hormone secretion and immune system depletion.

• Humans and rats are physiologically different. . Therefore, cannot be simply it generalised to humans.

Attending period zero for an upcoming psych SAC would be considered this type of strategy.

Reorder the following steps in the GAS model.

• Alarm Reaction - Countershock

• Exhaustion

• Resistance - Wear and tear

• Alarm Reaction - Shock

• Resistance - Cortisol is peaking

Draw a pre and post neuron at a synapse.

What is a key feature of the Transactional Model of stress?

• It focuses on the physiological responses to stress.

• It considers the interaction between the individual and the environment.

• It is based on animal studies and their applicability to humans.

• It emphasizes the role of genetics in stress response.
