EMDR Powerpoint PresentationmccmarcEMDR is a form of psychotherapy developed in the 1980s to resolve symptoms from traumatic life events. It uses structured techniques including bilateral eye movements, sounds or taps to help the brain process distressing memories. Studies show EMDR can be highly effective in reducing PTSD symptoms, often with fewer sessions than other therapies like CBT. An EMDR session involves eight phases - history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure and re-evaluation - to help restore normal memory processing and reduce the distress associated with traumatic memories.
PsychophysicsRaoul There are three main theories discussed in the document for relating physical properties to psychological sensation: Signal Detection Theory, Weber and Weber-Fechner Law, and Steven's Power Law. Signal Detection Theory examines sensitivity to signals and incorporates concepts like the receiver operating characteristic curve and d-prime. Weber and Weber-Fechner Law propose that just noticeable differences are proportional to stimulus intensity based on Weber's fraction. Steven's Power Law suggests people can quantify sensation in equal psychological units.
minnesota multi phasic disorder with a disorder ppt.pptxAlisha HestiaThe Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is the most widely used personality test in mental health assessments. Originally developed in the 1930s, it has been revised several times with updated questions and validity scales. The MMPI uses true/false questions to measure several personality traits and psychopathologies which can help clinicians diagnose mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and personality disorders. It is a valuable tool but must be interpreted carefully by trained professionals in conjunction with other assessments.
Neural Conduction and TransmissionDr. Neeta GuptaNeural conduction involves two main cell types - glial cells which provide structural support and neurons which transmit electrical and chemical signals. Neurons have three main parts - the cell body, dendrites which receive signals, and axons which transmit signals. Communication between neurons is a two-step process where an electrical impulse travels along the axon releasing chemical neurotransmitters that transmit the signal to the next neuron across the synaptic cleft. There are over 10 billion neurons in the human brain with trillions of connections between neurons allowing complex neural processing and transmission of information.

General adaptation syndromeMaithrikkThe document summarizes Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, which describes the body's three-stage response to stressors:
1. The alarm reaction stage is the body's initial emergency response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.
2. In the resistance stage, the body resists the continuous effects of stressors through hormonal responses like cortisol production. However, prolonged high cortisol levels can impair the body's ability to fight infection.
3. The exhaustion stage occurs when the body's ability to respond to stressors is seriously compromised, potentially leading to diseases, infections, and other issues if stressors continue unrelieved.
Chapter 3Visual Cognition and Modeling LabThe document discusses three classical psychophysical methods for measuring thresholds:
1. Method of constant stimuli which measures thresholds using fixed sets of stimuli presented in random order to determine detection rates.
2. Method of limits which alternates between increasing and decreasing stimuli to find transition points.
3. Method of adjustment where the observer adjusts the stimulus level until it is perceived.
These methods are used to determine absolute and difference thresholds as well as factors that can influence thresholds like habituation and expectation.

(Body & mind) के बीच गतणिीय संबंध का िणान करने के तिए रचा गया र्ा।
िह एक िमान भौतिक तिज्ञानी और दाशातनक र्े तिन्होंने इस शब्द का इस्िेमाि
'एतिमेंट्स ऑि साइकोतितिक्स' नामक पुस्िक िो िमान भाषा में तिखी गई र्ी में
तकया
है। िीपत़िग तिश्वतिद्यािय में काम करिे
हुए उनके काम से पहिे, अनास्ट हेनररक
िैबर ने स्पशा और प्रकाश संिेदना के
आधार पर पहचान के तिए न्यूनिम अंिर
(Just Noticeable Difference or JND) की
अिधारणा को प्रस्िातिि तकया र्ा तिसे
आमिौर पर िैबर का तनयम कहा िािा है।
5. यह तनयम बिािा है तक पहचान के तिए न्यूनिम अंिर (Just
Noticeable Difference or JND) उत्पन्न करने के तिए आिश्यक
पररमाण (required amount) मूि उद्दीपक या संदभा िीव्रिा के मूल्य का एक
तनरंिर अनुपाि होिा है। आधुतनक मनो-भौतिकी की अिधारणा िैबर और िै कनर के
काम पर आधाररि है।
मनो-भौतिकी में पांच इंतियों को सतिय करने िािे उद्दीपकों की िीव्रिा
तनष्पक्ष
(िस्िुतनष्ठ) रूप से मापी एिं
तनधााररि की िािी है।
6. मनो-भौतिकी में प्रयुि शब्दाििी: -
(i) तनरपेक्ष सीमा या तनरपेक्ष देहिी (Absolute threshold or
limen, AL) – इसे खोि सीमा (Detection Threshold) के
नाम से भी िाना िािा है। यानी मानि संिेदी प्रणािी द्वारा पहचानने या
प्रत्यक्षण करने के तिए उद्दीपक की न्यूनिम मात्रा, िीव्रिा,
मूल्य या
ििन।
7. तनरपेक्ष सीमा तितभन्न मनो-शारीररक दशाओं और तस्र्तिगि
कारकों के आधार पर व्यतियों और तस्र्तियों में तभन्न-तभन्न होिी है।
इसतिए तनरपेक्ष सीमा को मापने के तिए प्रयासों की संख्या आधार बनिी
है। िब कु ि प्रयासों में से
50 प्रतिशि बार
उद्दीपक को सही-सही
पहचाना या प्रत्यक्षण
तकया िािा है, िो
उद्दीपक की उस
तिशेष िीव्रिा या मूल्य
को तनरपेक्ष सीमा
कहा िािा है।
8. (ii) भेद सीमा या भेद देहिी (Differential threshold of limen,
DL) – इसे पहचानने योग्य न्यूनिम अंिर (Just Noticeable Difference
or JND) or तिभेदन सीमा भी कहा िािा है। दो उद्दीपकों के मूल्यों में िो सबसे
छोटा अंिर िो उनके बीच के अंिर का पिा िगाने में मदद करिा है। तनरपेक्ष सीमा की
िरह ही भेद सीमा का मापन भी प्रयासों की संख्या से तकया िािा है अर्ााि् एक
उद्दीपक के मूल्य में िो न्यूनिम पररििान िो 50 प्रतिशि
प्रयासों में उद्दीपक की
सही-सही पहचान
कराने या प्रत्यक्षण
कराने में सक्षम हो।
9. मनो-भौतिकी की तितधयां
उद्दीपक और प्रत्यक्षण की िीव्रिा के बीच संबंध को मापने के तिए िै कनर
ने िीन महत्िपूणा तितधयों का तिकास तकया: -
(i) सीमा तितध (Method of Limits)
(ii) सिि उद्दीपक
तितध (Method of
Constant stimuli)
10. (iii) समायोिन तितध (Method of Adjustment)
इन तितधयों का उपयोग उद्दीपक की िीव्रिा की उस दहिीि को
मापने के तिए तकया िािा है िो इसका प्रत्यक्षण करने के तिए आिश्यक
होिी हैं तिसे तनरपेक्ष सीमा या तनरपेक्ष देहिी के नाम से िाना िािा है।
