Download or read book Dictionary of Biological Psychology written by Philip Winn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Psychology is the study of psychological processes in terms of biological functions. A major obstacle to understanding dialogue in the field has always been its terminology which is drawn from a variety of non-psychological sources such as clinical medicine, psychiatry and neuroscience, as well as specialist areas of psychology such as ethology, learning theory and psychophysics. For the first time, a distinguished international team of contributors has now drawn these terms together and defined them both in terms of their physical properties and their behavioural significance. The Dictionary of Biological Psychology will prove an invaluable source of reference for undergraduates in psychology wrestling with the fundamentals of brain physiology, anatomy and chemistry, as well as researchers and practitioners in the neurosciences, psychiatry and the professions allied to medicine. It is an essential resource both for teaching and for independent study, reliable for fact-checking and a solid starting point for wider exploration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taylor's Bio-Psychology, Vol. 2: Fifth Lecture In order that we may understand the significance of bio-psychological action in the unconscious, it is necessary for us to analyze these energies and classify them accord ing to their various functions. Bio-psychology divides psychic energies into five functional phases; each phase may act separately, cc-ordinately or antagonistically, and the manner in which they act determines the character and power of the individual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taylor's Bio-Psychology, Vol. 1: Fifth Lecture The organism became more and more complex until there were many separate reflex arcs of response and many stimuli, all impinging upon the organism at one and the same time and requiring simultaneous divergent and antagonistic responses. Out of this condition, there were developed nerve ganglia as centers of the various reflex arcs, which serve as arbiters, and they determine the final common path of motor reflex action at any mo ment in the interest of the peace, safety and success of the whole mechanism. The repeated response of the reflex arcs to the various demands of procurement, de fense, and procreation, canalized the nerve matter, ih creased its conductivity, lowered the threshold of sensi bility to stimulus ahd facilitated motor response. The summation of these experiences in memory developed physiological, mental and moral efficiency in self-presen vation and progress, and these have been passed on by inheritance to the future generations of the species.

Download or read book The Biopsychology of Mood and Arousal written by Robert E. Thayer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1990-09-27 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the biological function of daily mood variations? What is the relationship between mood and such factors as exercise, time of day, nutrition, stress, and illness? Drawing on his own wide-ranging research concerning subjective assessments of mood and on extensive research by others, Dr. Thayer presents a comprehensive theory of normal mood states, viewing them as subjective components of two biological arousal systems, one which people find energizing, and the other which people describe as producing tension. The author explains these two mood effects in relation to a complex relationship between energy and tension. Relevant research is systematically reviewed, and moods are analyzed in relation to circadian rhythms, exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress, and cognition. Perceptual and motivational effects of mood are also discussed, as are measurement and research design issues. Unique in its depth and comprehensiveness, this book will be of interest not only to researchers in psychology, biology, and medicine, but its clear style of presentation and the practical activities suggested for mood regulation will make it interesting to general readers as well.

Download or read book The Tending Instinct written by Shelley E. Taylor and published by Times Books. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking work that reveals how the instinct to "tend and befriend" is vital for human society. In times of crisis and upheaval, our responses to stress become especially important. We have long heard about the "fight or flight" response, but renowned psychologist Shelley E. Taylor points out that hardwired in females -- both humans and those of other species -- is an instinct that can transcend "fight or flight." Their "tend and befriend" response is not only demonstrable but, as Taylor deftly explains in this eye-opening work, a key ingredient in human social life. With great skill and insight, Taylor examines stress, relationships, and human society through the special lens of women's biology. She draws on genetics, evolutionary psychology, physiology, and neuroscience to show how this tending process begins virtually at the moment of conception and literally crafts the biology of offspring through genes that rely on caregiving for their expression. Taylor also examines what drives women to seek each other's company, and to tend to the young and the infirm -- acts that greatly benefit the group but often at great cost to the individual. The Tending Instinct will forever change the way we view ourselves, and will revolutionize our understanding of the role of women and nurturing in maintaining a stable society.
Download or read book Taylor s Bio Psychology Vol 2 Fourth Lecture Classic Reprint written by William Marcus Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taylor's Bio-Psychology, Vol. 2: Fourth Lecture The individual libido has a normal flow upward, being itself progressive and levetative. It first passes from par ent to child: then from parental embryonic to organic development: then from organic to social adaptation: then from social to cultural, and finally from cultural develop ment to philosophic ideation. If there is no stoppage of this upward flow the individual continues his relations with cosmic bio psychological law which raises him to a one hundred per centum efficiency. This flow of the libido may form itself into vicious cir cuits and become fixated in organic, functional and arti ficial auto-erotic areas. If the desire life becomes short circuited in the individual, ego centered consciousness and narcissism result: if the libido gets short circuited in the family, one becomes an impotent psychopath; if his ambi tions are short circuited in society, he becomes a slave to social precedent and custom, and remains on the level of a time-server so that his objectification is merely in things and his efficiency is only in technique. Such an individual may become intellectual, but he will be frigid; and, as he gets detached from reality, he enters a world of cold ab straction.
