Download or read book Sensory Restriction written by Duane P. Schultz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensory Restriction: Effects on Behavior focuses on the presentation of experimental findings on sensory deprivation and their connection to behavior. The book first offers information on the theoretical framework and physiological effects of sensory restriction. Discussions focus on arousal and the reticular activating system; cortical arousal as a function of level of stimulus variation; possible basis for individual differences in level of arousal; galvanic skin response; biological changes; and other physiological findings. The manuscript also ponders on perceptual and motor effects, affective changes, and differences in tolerance for sensory restriction. Topics include sensory restriction research, therapeutic effects of sensory restriction, and tolerance as a function of need for stimulation. The text also ponders on the effects of social isolation, including individual and small group social isolation. The book is a valuable source of data for readers interested on the effects of sensory restriction on behavior.

Download or read book Man in Isolation and Confinement written by John E. Rasmussen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on those special circumstances in which men (alone or in groups) are isolated or confined for periods of time long enough to affect the way in which they think and behave. Active research in these phenomena initially grew out of a concern about prisoners of war in Korea and the presumed effects of "brainwashing," but this interest has been augmented by the technological advances that have allowed men to enter into isolation situations previously unattainable--in outer space, under the sea, on the face of the moon, or in remote places on the earth's surface. For the scientist himself, applications of the knowledge derived from these special situations is obvious. The variety of ways in which the search may be carried on, in both the laboratory and "real-life" situations, is amply illustrated in the approaches as well as the settings for research that are reviewed in this volume. This book represents the first attempt to cover the total spectrum of isolation and confinement in one volume. The chapters are arranged so as to begin with study of the individual, proceed through artificial and natural groups, and conclude with broad ecological and taxonomic considerations. Each chapter of the book has its own unique form; however, they have been planned and written to address a single central theme--that increased understanding of this important social phenomenon depends upon a spectrum of conceptual and methodological strategy, and on a continuing interplay between basic and applied research. The contributors are among the world's recognized experts in the area, and because of its breadth, the book constitutes an unusually complete reference to contemporary research on isolation. The volume has implications for urban planning and for space and undersea programs, and will be useful for teachers and students of applied social and behavioral science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an effort to integrate some clinical observations, theoretical concepts, and promising clinical procedures that relate psychological variables to physiological variables. My primary emphasis is on what psychological and behavioral concepts and procedures are most likely to enable us to influence physiological functions. The book covers ques tions that have fascinated me and with which I have struggled in daily clinical practice. What types of people are most at risk for physical disor ders or dysfunctions? Why do some people present psychosocial con flicts somatically and others behaviorally? What is the placebo effect and how does it work? How do you arrange the conditions to alter maladap tive belief systems that contribute to psychopathology and patho physiology? Do beliefs have biological consequences? When I was in private clinical practice, and even today in my medi cal school clinical practice situation, I set aside one day each week to puzzle over the theoretical questions that my clinical experience gener ates. Often isolating these underlying theoretical questions provides guidance into the most relevant empirical literature. I have found that this weekly ritual, which I started in private practice many years ago, appears to increase my clinical efficacy or at least makes clinical work more exciting. I find the unexamined clinical practice hard to endure. Kurt Lewin once said, "There is nothing so practical as a good theory.

Book excerpt: Subjects who were exposed to 5 min of perceptual deprivation (unpatterned light and white noise) or to a similar duration of visual, auditory, or kinesthetic deprivation showed no significant changes in the tachistoscopic recognition threshold for digits relative to two control groups. Similar results were obtained in a second experiment employing a condition of sensory deprivation (darkness and silence). (Author).

Download or read book The Psychology of Anxiety written by Eugene E. Levitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this title builds on the first edition which provided a comprehensive review and evaluation of theory and research on anxiety at the time. In the time between publications there had been many studies of anxiety phenomena and substantial progress in our conceptual understanding of the nature of anxiety and its measurement. The author incorporates those advances in empirical knowledge and new theoretical insights into this second edition. The most important and well-documented empirical findings in anxiety research are emphasized throughout the book, but attention is also called to unresolved theoretical issues and problem areas of the time where there was urgent need for additional research. Although much research has been done since, the authoritative analysis of anxiety phenomena that is presented in this book will still be of interest to medical, social and behavioral scientists and personality theorists, and to mental health workers of all disciplines who are engaged in clinical work with emotionally disturbed persons.
