shit somprocessing. It is crucial for motivating certain behaviours, such as mobility, the pursuit of nutrition, the fight-or-flight response and sexual activity (see Masters and Johnson's human sexual response cycle, where it is known as the arousal phase). It is also very important in emotion, and has been included as a part of many influential theories such as the James-Lange theory of emotion. According to Hans Eysenck, differences in baseline arousal level lead people to be either extraverts or introverts. Later research suggest it is most likely that extroverts and introverts have different arousability. Their baseline arousal level is the same, but the response to stimulation is different.[1]…

Aplysia is a famous snail in the field of learning and memory who was experimented on to understand how learning worked. The experiment started with shocking the Aplysia snail to teach it of the dangers of its new environment. When the snail’s siphon is touched, it triggers a defensive mechanism, a withdrawal reflex. It is this reflex that lets scientists know the Aplysia has formed new memories as it is on high alert and fearful from its past experiences of getting shocked. The scientists compared two snails, one with past experiences of being shocked and one that had not. The one that had not been shocked had no fear, therefore, was not on high alert and responded with a short-lived 11-second response. By comparison, the Aplysia who has learned through shocks stays on high alert with the reflex lasting 45 seconds, 4 times longer than the other one. This allowed scientist to learn that the snail which had been repeatedly shocked had learned from its experiences and learned to respond accordingly.…

The behaviours observed of Extreme sport participants are usually characterised negatively, for example being insane with a need to take unnecessary risks, and not caring for family and friends that are left back worrying about them. However psychological research indicates that the perception of the extreme sport participants are very different to others. They have a physical need for adrenaline. Adrenaline is caused by fear, fear is a normal emotional reaction, it is a survival mechanism we are all equipped with. This emotion is a response to danger and serves a protective purpose, warning us of threats and preparing us to deal with it.…
