Programmed theories of aging assert that the human body ages according to a natural biological timeline set by genetics. There are several theories for what specifically causes this programmed aging, including the programmed longevity theory which suggests certain genes switch on and off over time to age the body, the endocrine theory that changes in hormone levels program aging, and the immunological theory that the immune system is genetically programmed to gradually decline with age.

Chapter 7 (states of consciousness)
The document summarizes key topics related to states of consciousness from a psychology textbook, including sleep and dreams, hypnosis, and the effects of drugs on consciousness. It discusses the body's biological rhythms and sleep cycles, theories about why we dream, facts and myths about hypnosis, how different drugs like stimulants, depressants and hallucinogens impact consciousness, and influences on drug use. It also briefly touches on near death experiences and how they relate to the philosophical mind-body problem.
Physiological psychology
Physiological psychology investigates human behavior, cognition, and emotion through the lens of biological structures and physiological processes. It assumes humans are biological machines and that the mind arises from biological factors. Tools used include MRI, fMRI, CT scans, PET scans, SPECT, and EEG to study brain activity and structure. While providing objective data, physiological psychology risks oversimplifying humans as machines and downplaying social and environmental influences. It also raises debates around determinism versus free will.

Theories of emotion
Emotion is a complex phenomenon influenced by physiological and cognitive factors. It arises from both physical reactions in the body as well as conscious experiences. The document discusses several theories of emotion:
1. James-Lange theory proposes that emotional experience arises from physiological arousal.
2. Cannon-Bard theory argues that physiological and emotional experiences occur simultaneously rather than one causing the other.
3. Schachter-Singer theory suggests emotion results from physiological arousal combined with cognitive interpretation of the arousal.
4. Cognitive theories like Lazarus' emphasize that appraisal and evaluation of situations determine emotional responses.
No single theory comprehensively explains emotions, but most agree both biological and environmental factors interact to

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.
Sensation and Perception (psychology)
Sensation refers to the basic sensory experiences resulting from stimulation of the senses by the environment. It involves the detection of external or internal stimuli and the transmission of sensory signals to the brain. Perception is the interpretation and organization of sensory information. It allows us to give meaning to sensory input and understand the world around us. There are many ways that perception can be inaccurate, including illusions, which distort reality despite being based on physical stimuli, and hallucinations or delusions, which involve perceiving something not actually present.
Psychological disorders and treatment
The document summarizes psychological disorders and their treatment according to the biopsychosocial model. It discusses the criteria for abnormality (deviance, distress, dysfunction) and approaches that view disorders as arising from interactions among biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. It also outlines classification systems (DSM, ICD); behavioral therapies like systematic desensitization and exposure therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD; and factors considered in evaluating diagnostic systems.
Psycho neuro immunology
This document discusses psycho neuroimmunology, which is the study of the interaction between psychological processes, the nervous system, and the immune system. It introduces key concepts like the mind-body connection, the role of stress and emotions in immune function, and the involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and neurotransmitters. Chronic stress can compromise immune function and increase depression and disease risk by impacting neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Psychological interventions may boost immune responses to help fight cancer and other illnesses.
Sleep
The document discusses sleep, its regulation in the body, theories of sleep, circadian rhythms, physiological changes during sleep, stages of sleep, classifications of sleep disorders including dyssomnias like insomnia and hypersomnia, and parasomnias. It also covers nursing interventions to promote sleep such as preparing a restful environment, offering relaxation activities, and scheduling care to avoid disturbances.
THINKING-Psychology.pptx
The document discusses various topics related to thinking, including:
1) It defines thinking as a higher mental process that involves symbols, images, ideas, and concepts.
2) It distinguishes between free thinking, which allows greater freedom, and controlled thinking, which regulates thoughts to be closer to reality and goal-oriented.
3) Controlled thinking examples include reasoning, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Reasoning can be inductive or deductive, while problem-solving follows defined steps and can use algorithms or heuristics.
4) Creative thinking is guided by preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and revision steps, and creative thinkers tend to be complex, independent, and persistent.
PERCEPTUAL PROCESS
This document summarizes key concepts related to perception, including:
- Perception involves receiving sensory stimuli through sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and interpreting and giving meaning to that information.
- It is influenced by both top-down processes like expectations and prior experience, and bottom-up processes like analysis of sensory information.
- Perception is shaped by individual factors like needs and culture, as well as Gestalt principles of proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure that guide how humans group visual elements.
Chapter 2 (neuroscience and behavior)
This document provides an overview of neuroscience and the nervous system. It discusses the structure and function of neurons, how they communicate via neurotransmitters, and the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain and nervous system. Key points covered include the peripheral and central nervous systems, the endocrine system, and structures within the brain like the cortex, limbic system, and hemispheres. It also discusses various techniques for studying the brain like EEG, PET scans, and MRI scans.
States of consciousness
This document discusses different states of consciousness including levels of consciousness like the conscious, nonconscious, preconscious, subconscious, and unconscious levels. It also discusses sleep cycles and stages from light sleep to deep sleep to REM sleep. Several sleep disorders are outlined like insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, night terrors, and sleepwalking. Dreams and theories about dreams are explained. Hypnosis and theories of hypnosis are covered. Finally, the document categorizes different types of drugs and their effects, including stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and opiates.
Emotion
Emotions are complex psychological phenomena that involve physiological, cognitive, and behavioral components. They evolved to help humans and animals respond to important events. There are several theories about the relationship between the cognitive, physiological, and experiential aspects of emotions. Basic emotions include happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust, which can combine to form more complex emotions. The brain regions involved in emotional processing and regulation include the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Emotions are influenced by factors such as genetics, cognition, memory, external stimuli, health, circadian rhythms, and meditation practices. People can control their emotions through techniques like controlled breathing, reframing thoughts,
Id, Ego, Superego. By Theresa Lowry-Lehnen. Lecturer of Psychology
Freud proposed that the human psyche is composed of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. The id is the impulsive, unconscious part that demands immediate gratification. The ego develops to mediate between the id and reality. It works to satisfy the id's demands in realistic ways. The superego incorporates social values and morals, controlling the id's impulses. It causes feelings of guilt when urges are acted on and pride when behaving properly. These parts develop at different stages and allow the psyche to balance internal needs with external demands.
Hypnotherapy
- Hypnotherapy is a state of heightened awareness that allows access to the subconscious mind where negative beliefs, fears, and coping methods can be released.
- Research and clinical outcomes do not always match as hypnosis can instantly release cravings where research shows a longer time is needed.
- Success depends on counseling and hypnotherapy skills, peripheral knowledge, intuition, and the relationship between the therapist and patient. However, research shows rapport is most important.
3 Emotional Theories
The document discusses three theories of emotion:
1) James-Lange Theory - emotions follow physiological arousal from stressful situations
2) Cannon-Bard Theory - physiological arousal and emotions occur simultaneously in response to stimuli
3) Two-Factor Theory - Stanley Schachter proposed emotions involve both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of the arousal, so aroused people feel stronger emotions from the same stimuli.
Physiology of emotion
1. The physiology of emotion involves complex mental and physical components that originate from cognitive appraisals and are manifested through changes in the autonomic nervous system and body.
2. Several theories have attempted to explain the relationship between physiological arousal and emotional experience, including James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, and Schachter-Singer theory.
3. Key brain regions involved in emotion include the limbic system, amygdala, hypothalamus, and pathways like the Papez circuit. Specific emotions engage distinct neural circuits and produce unique physiological responses.
Psychodynamic theory of personality
a psychodynamic theory is a view that explains personality in terms of conscious and unconscious forces, such as unconscious desires and beliefs
States Of Consciousness
The document discusses states of consciousness and various topics related to consciousness, including daydreaming, sleep, dreams, hypnosis, and near death experiences. It provides definitions and explanations of concepts like consciousness, circadian rhythms, sleep stages, dream theories, hypnosis, dissociation, and near death experiences.

MOTIVATION- Psychology.pptx
This document provides an overview of motivation for physiotherapy and nursing students. It defines motivation as the internal drive that causes organisms to strive toward goals, often in response to external stimuli. The document outlines the motivation cycle of a drive or need leading to behavior and goal achievement. It classifies motives as primary/biological, learned, positive or negative. Theories of motivation discussed include instinct theory, drive reduction theory, expectancy theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and McClelland's achievement motivation theory. Key points about each theory are summarized. The document aims to explain different aspects of motivation to students.
Arousal theory of motivation
The document discusses arousal and the arousal theory of motivation. The arousal theory of motivation suggests that people take actions to either decrease or increase their levels of arousal in order to maintain an optimal level of arousal. Examples provided include a youngster who feels low going to hang out with friends to increase arousal, and feeling curious about a crush's comment on social media causing high arousal. The document also asks if the reader enjoys high-arousal activities like rollercoasters, skydiving, and challenges.
Biological theories of aging
The document discusses several biological theories of aging. The theories fall into two main categories: programmed aging theories and non-programmed aging theories. Programmed theories propose that aging is an evolved process with genetic programs that limit lifespan. Non-programmed theories propose that aging is an unavoidable byproduct with no evolutionary purpose. The document outlines several specific theories, provides examples to support each theory, and discusses implications for medicine and potential anti-aging behaviors.
theories of aging, programmed and error theories
The document discusses several theories of aging:
- Programmed theories believe aging is a normal developmental process, while error theories see it as due to accidents over time.
- Free radical theory proposes that cellular damage from reactive oxygen species produced during metabolism accumulates over time, causing aging.
- Calorie restriction theory suggests that reducing calorie intake without malnutrition can retard aging by increasing efficiency.
- Neuroendocrine theory views age-related declines in neurons and hormones as central to aging. The hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal axes are proposed as the "master timekeepers" regulating aging.

Social science
This document provides an introduction to social science. It defines social science as the branch of science devoted to studying societies and relationships between individuals within societies. Social science is described as applying scientific methods to study society in a way that is subdivided into subjects concerning specific aspects of individuals and society. Some key characteristics of social science mentioned are that it emphasizes facts, introduces new ideas, studies human relations and behavior which cannot be directly observed or controlled, and research conclusions may differ as phenomena are always changing.
Social work relationship with social science discipline
This document discusses the relationship between social work and social science disciplines. It notes that social work draws its basic knowledge from fields like psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science, which provide the theoretical foundation. The curriculum for social work education also incorporates various branches of behavioral and social sciences. Social work takes a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach by applying knowledge from these social sciences to its methods and practice areas like casework, group work, community organization, social action, administration, research, and policy and planning.
Physical disabilities
This document discusses physical disabilities, their causes, types, and treatments. There are two major categories of physical disability: musculo-skeletal, involving muscular or bone issues; and neuro-muscular, involving the nervous system. Specific conditions described include loss of limbs, cerebral palsy, polio, and spinal cord injuries. Treatments aim to improve function through rehabilitation programs like occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. The goal is to help people with physical disabilities live as independently as possible.

Fibromyalgia
This document provides an overview of fibromyalgia, including:
- Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue, and other types of discomfort throughout the body. While symptoms resemble arthritis, it affects soft tissues rather than joints.
- Common symptoms include widespread pain, headaches, fatigue, sleep issues, and fibro-fog. The cause is unknown but may involve genetics and traumatic injuries.
- Treatment options aim to relieve symptoms and improve sleep, including exercise, acupuncture, psychotherapy, and some medications. People need to work with their doctor to develop an individualized treatment plan.

The document discusses the living conditions and implications for food security of climate migrant slum dwellers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It finds that most families have low levels of education and income, spend most of their earnings on food, and consume protein infrequently. Access to water is difficult and most do not treat water due to costs. Sanitation conditions are poor, with open defecation and dumping of waste. As a result, health outcomes are dire, with half of children suffering from diarrhea and other water-borne illnesses. The living environment thus undermines food security for climate migrants in urban slums.

Programmed theories of aging
- 1. Programmed Theories of Aging Karisma Amjad PhD Fellow Institute of Social Welfare and Research University of Dhaka 1
- 2. Programmed Theories of Aging Programmed theories assert that the human body is designed to age and there is a certain biological timeline that bodies follow. All of these theories share the idea that aging is natural and "programmed" into the body. 2
- 3. Aging Is Programmed Since aging is about evolution and not biology, it must be inherent in the organism and not simply a result of environmental factors or disease. That means that aging and death, according to this theory, are not a result of wear and tear or exposure, but are a programmed, natural and necessary part of genetics. In short, we are genetically programmed to age and die. 3
- 4. There are a few different programmed theories of aging: • Programmed longevity theory • Endocrine theory • Immunological theory 4
- 5. Programmed longevity theory • Programmed longevity theory is the idea that aging is caused by certain genes switching on and off over time 5
- 6. Endocrine theory • Endocrine theory is the idea that regular changes in hormones control aging. 6
- 7. Role of Endocrine System • Your body's endocrine system secretes and controls the hormones that regulate many body processes including metabolism, use of nutrients, excretion, and reproduction. As you age, these systems become less efficient, leading to changes in our bodies, such as menopause. The hormone theory of aging states that these changes eventually cause the effects of aging. 7
- 8. Immunological theory • Immunological theory states that the immune system is programmed to decline over time, leaving people more susceptible to diseases. 8
- 9. Basics of the Immunological Theory • As humans age, they experience changes to almost all physiological functions, including those related to the immune system. Medical experts have proven that immune function does indeed decrease with age, which contributes to a whole host of well- known issues among seniors, from increased health risks posed by common infections like a cold or the flu to a greater occurrence of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as gout and some types of arthritis. 9
