This document defines and describes various forms of extrasensory perception (ESP) including precognition, retrocognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, mediumship, clairsentience, clairaudience, clairgustance, and telepathy. It provides brief explanations of each term and psychic ability.
The document discusses the process of perception. It begins with the environmental stimulus and proceeds through attended stimulus, image on the retina, transduction, neural processing, perception, recognition, and action. It describes each step in 2-3 sentences. It then lists factors that influence perception such as the perceiver, target, and situation. Finally, it discusses types of perception including person, learned, environmental, and cultural perception.
This document defines consciousness and describes its various types and levels. It discusses consciousness as sensory awareness, inner awareness, and sense of self. It also outlines Sigmund Freud's three levels of consciousness - the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. Additionally, it examines how stages of consciousness are impacted by circadian rhythms and explores the relationships between consciousness, sleep, dreams, hypnosis, and psychoactive drugs.
This document discusses various defense mechanisms used by the ego. It describes the superego as reflecting internalized cultural rules taught by parents. The ego acts as a mediator between the id and superego. Defense mechanisms like denial, projection, and repression operate unconsciously to reduce anxiety. Mature defenses like humor and sublimation support healthy functioning, while immature defenses are related to problems. Conditions of stress increase defense use for reducing negative feelings.
1. Perception is a complex mental process that involves sensing, interpreting, and making meaning of environmental stimuli based on past experiences.
2. It provides organization of sensory input and the immediate awareness or knowledge of one's surroundings.
3. Perception involves both bottom-up sensory analysis and top-down higher-level processing, and it is influenced by factors like expectations, goals, and emotions.
Concept of sensation with reference to organizational communicationbp singh
When smelling a flower, we are experiencing a sensation rather than a perception. Sensation refers to the immediate physical stimulation of the senses, while perception involves interpreting and making sense of sensory information. Sensation provides the raw data from our environment that our brains then organize and interpret through the process of perception. The key difference is that sensation is a passive process of receiving sensory input, while perception is an active process of interpreting those sensations.

This document discusses strategies for positive parenting based on a child's strengths. It recommends activities like building with cardboard, recalling good memories from the day, and spending quality time together. It also suggests focusing on a child's interests and abilities rather than weaknesses. The document advises calibrating praise to a child's accomplishments and using consequences rarely as a last resort.
Goal setting is effective because it directs attention towards focusing on relative goals, mobilizes effort needed to accomplish new learning strategies, and develops new ways of accomplishing tasks that lead to better goal achievement through persistence and focused effort.
This diagram outlines a well-being theory called PERMA which identifies five pillars of well-being: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. It shows how each pillar contributes to an individual's overall well-being and happiness.
The document discusses the concept of "flow state", which is described as a state of total absorption, optimal functioning, and intrinsic motivation that occurs when an individual's skills are fully matched to the challenge at hand. Key requirements for achieving a flow state include maintaining focused attention, having a positive mental attitude, and ensuring a balance between the perceived skills of the performer and the perceived challenge of the task. Examples are given of activities like playing jazz or martial arts that can facilitate entering a flow state where one's whole being is involved and the activity is intrinsically rewarding.
Long term stress can damage the immune system and disrupt the body's normal chemical balance by constantly elevating levels of cortisol and other stress hormones which depletes energy, makes it difficult to sleep, and can lead to stress related disorders that affect the majority of Americans. Chronic stress causes the body to recalibrate to a new higher level of stress as a "new homeostasis" and can desensitize receptors related to pleasure and happiness over time with constant overexposure and overstimulation of the fear and stress response.
Stress can affect both our psychological state and physiological response. When faced with stressors, our bodies activate what is known as the stress response. This stress response triggers changes in our bodies like increased heart rate and cortisol levels that help us deal with threats.
This document outlines different types of hypnosis, including self-hypnosis which is self-induced relaxation through focusing attention without an external hypnotist, autohypnosis which is self-hypnosis induced through posthypnotic suggestion, and heterohypnosis where hypnosis is induced by another person such as a trained therapist through establishing rapport and avoiding negative suggestions.
The document discusses mindfulness and savoring experiences. It encourages taking time to mindfully experience things through our senses like eating chocolate slowly. It suggests writing in a journal about pleasurable experiences and sharing them with others to build memories and sharpen our perception by becoming fully immersed in sensations.
The document discusses the relationship between emotion and motivation from a two-system perspective. It describes emotions as arising from innate physiological systems that indicate adaptation and react involuntarily to stimuli, as well as being shaped by experience and social interpretation through cognitive systems. Basic emotions like sadness arise from common life circumstances but are uniquely expressed by individuals.
Highlight 3 key public speaking tips: tell stories, end with the key point, and connect key points. Stories are easier for audiences to remember and help illustrate points. Ending on the key point reinforces the main message. Connecting different points within the presentation helps the audience follow the overall narrative.
The document discusses psychosomatic illness, which refers to physical illnesses that are caused or exacerbated by mental or emotional factors. Psychosomatic illnesses form as a communication between the conscious and unconscious mind, often arising from unresolved psychological or existential issues that manifest physically. The document suggests examining psychosomatic illnesses to understand what underlying problems, needs, or secondary gains they may be representing or serving for the individual.
