i'd definitely go with the second one, mentioning both the control and experimental.
also woah, are you guys really up to memory already? that's intense hahah

[The Brightest Witch]

Thank you!

And haha woah no, we're doing sleep - memory was just the first thing I thought of

Also, would fatigue be a psychological or physiological effect of sleep deprivation?

Isn't it a physiological effect as fatigue involves having a lack of energy?

ahh that makes sense hahah

hmm i'd say because fatigue is a feeling, you might consider it psychological. i might be wrong, but personally that's what i'd go with. tbh there are some that are pretty ambiguous (for example, headaches, which some argue can be either )

What do split-brain studies indicate about consciousness and cognitive processing in the brain? 3 marks

I'm beginning to have psychology. Really sciencey.

I'm going to assume that is meant to be hate, and if so, i am in the same boat. After last year i was pretty pumped over the content and i was interested, but i feel as though this is getting a bit too sciency.

What're you guys up to? I'm finishing up on memory atm and I find it pretty interesting, you can apply lots of this stuff to real life and such

Just finished our SAC on sleep today, have another SAC on the brain and states of consciousness in 2 weeks (SOCs weren't in this one but we've covered it) - I feel really behind compared to people on here, wow.

Fatigue can be physiological or psychological. It depends whether we're talking about physical or mental fatigue. I'd never just write "fatigue" on its own

I've got my first SAC on SOCs and sleep next week and the assessment format will be an evaluation of research.
Just wondering if anyone on here has any practice papers/past sacs for an evaluation of research?

Also, I'm having trouble answering this question:
Why are we more likely to experience deep sleep early in the night?

:S does it having anything to do with our lowered body temperature/pressure or am I completely off?

Thanks

Revising for a upcoming SAC atm, quick question:

If asked whether split brain patients know what they saw in the left visual field, do i just state that they do know what they saw because they are able to use their left hand to locate/draw the object? So it is simply a matter of not being able to verbally state this?

We experience the most deep sleep (stages 3 and 4) early in the night because as the night progresses the amount of time we spend in NREM stage 3/4 sleep decreases, until eventually we don't reach Stage 3/4 at all (see diagram below).

Thanks Vermilliona. I actually knew that :L but I thought maybe we had to give a reason why our sleep cycle is structured that way.
I asked my friend and she said the same thing as you so I'm probably just reading too much into the question... Thanks again!

Hating this brain crap. Had a test yesterday and no doubt failed, probably got about 5/40 - as I hadn't studied or really paid much attention, but still, I usually get around 70% with no work.
