Alertness best describes:
A. A deep sleep state
B. A relaxed, meditative state
C. A state of being awake, attentive, and ready to respond
D. A dissociated trance
Rationale: Alertness denotes wakeful attention and readiness to act.
Alpha waves on EEG are typically present when a person is:
A. In deep sleep
B. Relaxed and awake but not actively thinking
C. Highly aroused and anxious
D. Experiencing REM sleep
Rationale: Alpha (8–12 Hz) appear with relaxed wakefulness (eyes closed).
Theta waves are most associated with:
A. Intense focus and problem solving
B. REM sleep dreaming
C. Deep relaxation, creativity, and early sleep stages
D. Alert wakefulness
Rationale: Theta (4–8 Hz) emerge during drowsiness, light sleep, and creative states.
Delta waves are characterized by:
A. Fast, low-amplitude activity
B. Slow (1–4 Hz) waves associated with deep sleep
C. Burst-suppression seen in REM
D. Alpha rhythm during relaxation
Rationale: Delta activity dominates slow-wave sleep (stages 3–4).
Binocular rivalry refers to:
A. Competition between vestibular and visual systems
B. Inability to focus both eyes simultaneously
C. Perceiving one of two different images presented separately to each eye
D. Rapid alternation of pupil size
Rationale: When each eye sees a different image, perception alternates.

Biological rhythms are:
A. Only circadian cycles
B. Recurring cycles (physiological, molecular, behavioral) characteristic of organisms
C. Random fluctuations in behavior
D. Only hormonal cycles
Rationale: Biological rhythms include circadian, ultradian, infradian cycles.
Change blindness is the phenomenon where:
A. People constantly notice changes in their environment
B. A significant visual change goes unnoticed because attention is elsewhere
C. Memory loss for visual scenes after sleep
D. Visual acuity decreases over time
Rationale: Attention limits detection of scene changes.
Circadian rhythm refers to:
A. A weekly behavioral cycle
B. 24-hour internal cycles of physiological and behavioral processes
C. Heartbeat rhythm only
D. Any random biological fluctuation
Rationale: Circadian rhythms align physiology to day–night cycles.
The cognitive unconscious is best defined as:
A. Memory retrieval with full awareness
B. Information processing (perception, memory, language) without conscious awareness
C. Conscious thought during problem solving
D. Freudian unconscious only
Rationale: Cognitive unconscious covers implicit processing that influences behavior.
Consciousness is:
A. Long-term memory store
B. Moment-to-moment awareness of self and environment
C. An unconscious process
D. A sleeping state only
Rationale: Consciousness is current awareness and subjective experience.
Dependence in substance use refers to:
A. A one-time use without consequence
B. A mental or physical attachment causing loss of control over use
C. A purely behavioral preference
