to interrupt this individual’s ability? What behaviors were 
exhibited by this individual following the disorder, disease, or 
accident? What were the individual’s deficits as a result of 
this disorder, disease, or accident? What treatments did the 
individual seek? Were any available at the time? What are

· Address , in a 350- to 700-word paper, the following
questions with your Learning Team: 
o How would you define the relationship between learning 
something and remembering it? 
o What specific region of Clive’s brain is damaged to result in 
this memory loss? 
o How do you explain Clive’s loss of memory for most things, 
despite his lasting memory for his wife and the piano? 
o If you were Clive, what memories would you miss the 
most? 
o How are emotions linked to memories? Provide some 
examples to support your answers. 
Note. Online students: Use the Learning Team forum to

PSYCH 575 Week 5 Individual Assignment Disorder Paper 
· Select a neurological, psychological, or 
neurodevelopmental disorder. 
· Write a 2,450- to 3,500-word paper comparing and 
contrasting three therapeutic interventions used to treat this 
disorder. Compare measures of effectiveness, such as 
validity, efficacy, symptom and behavior management, and 
recidivism. One therapy should be cognitive in nature, one 
should be pharmacological in nature, and the third should be 
an alternative therapeutic treatment. 
· Identify common symptoms associated with your disorder 
and rates of symptom reduction or management as reported 
with the three treatments. Based on your research, what 
would be your approach to treating the condition? Identify 
which treatments you would use. Explain why. 
· Analyze the neurophysiological underpinnings of diseases 
and disorders.
· Examine contemporary attitudes toward the three 
treatments you selected. 
PSYCH 575 Week 6 Learning Team Assignment Effect of Drug 
Use Presentation 
· Select one brain-altering drug—a street drug, a 
prescription drug, or a legal drug, such as alcohol or tobacco. 
· Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® 
presentation in which you address the following: 
Identify your drug and define its primary use in our culture. 
Identify rates of use and populations affected by using this 
drug. Discuss the regions of the brain affected by this drug. 
How does this drug alter brain chemistry? How do high 
versus low doses of this drug compare in altering behavior, 
mood, and cognition? Discuss the implications of one-time, 
casual, or long-term use on the physiology of the brain, 
and on behavior, mood, and cognition. If a person 
developed an addiction to the drug you selected, what 
therapeutic interventions would be used to treat the 
addiction? 
Discussions: 
What are the major underlying assumptions of physiological 
psychology? What effect do these assumptions have on 
psychology? 
What are some techniques or research methods used to 
examine the link between the brain and behavior? What are 
some findings in biological psychology that can result or have 
resulted from these techniques or research methods? 
Select two glial cells. Describe their structure and functions in 
the nervous system. 
In the brain, most excitatory communication in synapses 
occurs by way of glutamate and most inhibitory
communication occurs by way of gamma-aminobutyric acid. 
In general terms, describe what the other neurotransmitters 
do. 
What are the five senses? What is the nature of sensation 
and perception, as they apply to the five senses? In your 
opinion, which is more important, sensation or perception? 
Describe how vision, hearing, and motor control are affected 
in a person who suffers from a stroke. 
Explain the difference between positive emotions on 
memory and stressful or fearful emotions on memory. Why 
do positive life experiences last in long-term memory, while 
stressful or fearful life experiences are often lost or buried in 
people’s memories? 
If we learn what we remember and remember what we 
learn, provide a neurological explanation—the best you can 
with current findings—of why people with Alzheimer’s 
disease forget what they have learned and may have known 
for decades. 
What is psychopharmacology? What are some positive 
aspects related to psychopharmacology? What are some 
drawbacks? 
Therapies have come a long way to help those with 
neurological, psychological, or neurodevelopmental 
disorders. Prov...
