Assignent Solutionnurs

There’s 3 parts to the assignment. I provided citations from my textbook that can be used.
<
<
Part A: Sleep Stages.
<
Describe slow-wave sleep and REM sleep. Be sure to include: the brain activity that takes place during these two stages AND what an EEG recording looks like during each of these two stages.
<
Citations from textbook:
<
“Delta, or slow-wave, sleep is the 3rd stage of sleep with high-amplitude waves and this stage occurs during the first half of the night (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
“REM sleep is a combination of theta and beta wave activity that involves muscles becoming paralyzed and eyes move rapidly (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
<
Part B: Types of Learning.
<
Stimulus-response learning and motor learning are 2 basic forms learning.
<
Write the following: Describe two of these types of learning. Provide at least two (2) examples for each of these of a situation in which each of these types of learning occurs, being sure to cite your sources.
<
Citations form the textbook:
<
“Stimulus-response learning involves a person doing a specific action in response to a certain stimuli. The two main types are classical and operant conditioning (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
“Motor learning is the establishment of changes (responses) within motor systems following a stimulus. Motor learning cannot occur without sensory stimulus from the environment (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”

<
Part C: Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Definition, Cause & Treatment.
<
One of your family members has been experiencing symptoms similar to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The family member has asked you for help with finding treatment. You decide you want to research the disorder before you offer your help.
<
Write the following: Give the definition of GAD and (2) causes and (2) treatment options for GAD.
<
Citation from textbook about GAD:
<
“The primary characteristics of generalized anxiety disorder are excessive anxiety and worry, difficulty in controlling these symptoms, clinically significant signs of dis-tress and disruption of people’s lives (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
Citation from textbook about GAD causes:
<
“Family studies and twin studies indicate that generalized anxiety disorder has a hereditary component. Genetic investigations indicate that variations in the gene that encodes production of the BDNF protein may play a role in anxiety disorders (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
“Activation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), which helps in extinction and inhibition of fear and anxiety, suppressed amygdala activation in healthy control participants but not in those with anxiety disorder (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
<
Citation from textbook about GAD treatment:
<
“Some serotonin reuptake inhibitors have become the first-line medications for treating anxiety. In the treatment of anxiety disorders, cognitive behavior therapy often uses procedures that desensitize patients to the objects or situations they fear (Carlson & Birkett, 2017).”
