Name: ______________ ________________ Class ______________ Time _______________ (in intstates.ws) In addition to information encountered in the preceding chapters and video-lectures corresponding to those chapters, please use information derived from text chapter 10 to answer the following questions: Please underline/bold relevant pages read that inform the content for your answers Please leave a line vacant between the question and your answer 25 points Please submit on canvas only Please allow 4 days for review No late work These are terms relevant to text that may be referred to: (they may differ from text) Allostasis: the process by which a state of internal, physiological equilibrium is maintained by an organism in response to actual or perceived environmental and psychological stressors Therefore, allostasis is the process that keeps the organism alive and functioning, i.e. maintaining homeostasis or “maintaining stability through change” and promoting adaptation and coping, Homeostasis: the tendency of a system, especially the physiological system of animals, to maintain internal stability (goal) owing to the coordinated response of its parts (response) to any situation or stimulus (external/internal) tending to disturb its normal condition or function (reference memory). Equilibrium: A state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces. Coping: to face and deal with responsibilities, problems, or difficulties, especially successfully or in a calm or adequate manner: Coping strategy : an action, a series of actions, or a thought process used in meeting a stressful or unpleasant situation or in modifying one's reaction to such a situation. Coping strategies typically involve a conscious and direct approach to problems, in contrast to defense mechanisms. Adapted: To make suitable to requirements or conditions; adjust or modify fittingly. To adjust oneself to different conditions, environment. 1. Please explain the distinction between actual and perceived stressors relevant to the understanding of allostasis: 1a. Please explain the independent variables producing the content of the internal state of the organism 1b. Please explain the dependent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism 2. Please explain the distinction between environmental and psychological stressors relevant to the understanding of allostasis: 2a. Please explain the independent variables producing the content of the internal state of the organism during allostasis

2b. Please explain the dependent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism during allostasis 2c. Please explain the neurological and psychological stages that occur between the occurrence of the independent variable and the measurement of the dependent variables 3. Please explain the role that adaptation and coping play in allostasis: 3a. The independent variable applied during coping is: 3b. The dependent variable measured during coping is: 3c. Please explain the neurological and psychological stages that occur between the occurrence of the independent variable and the measurement of the dependent variables that change the dependent variable 4. Please explain how results obtained about the transition from external events to internal states using psycho-physical methods inform your understanding of your answers to number 1-3. 4a. The three components involved in the psycho-physical process are: 4b: please describe the independent variables for each of the 3 stages of psycho- physical processes: 4c: please describe the dependent variables for each of the 3 stages of psycho- physical processes: 4d. Please explain the neurological and psychological stages that occur between the occurrence of the independent variable and the measurement of the dependent variables during the psycho-physical transition 5. Please explain the initial problem state of the organism not experiencing homeostasis: 5A. Please explain the independent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism during this stage 5B. Please explain the dependent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism during this state 6. Please explain the final goal state of the organism experiencing homeostasis: 6A. Please explain the independent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism during this stage 6B. Please explain the dependent variables describing the content of the internal state of the organism during this state 7. What is expended by the organism to maintain the homeostatic state of equilibrium: 8. What psychobiological strategy during your answer to number seven is deployed to maintain that homeostatic state of equilibrium:
