Disorders - continue from psych notes

Disorders - a number of ways people have conceptualized content - will introduce another way of conceptualizing - by looking at what is it of abnormal behavior and what goes wrong. Abnormal Behavior : Cognitive and Emotions gone array. Two types of processing: Cognition (thinking) - Prob. neurologist and Pys. - In about every neurological disorder there is emotional too. eg. Multiple Sorosis - has emotional sequel. Once mess up things in one area, normally effects other. eg. A parent dies - feeling sad is normal and not irrational. There is a learning component to emotion. Learn when to be happy and sad- context that evokes emotions is probably not inborn. Brain probably constructed for rational thought. (a) There was a paper written in 1920- Bektrant Russel and North Whitehead. Question posed is what is basis of mathematics? Point is math can be reduced to logic and logic - which can be reduced to the a/m. Emotions: clinical psychology - get changes of patterns of thinking. There are a few ways we can have abnormal behavior occurrences. a. problem with thinking processing behavior will be unusual because of abnormal behavior or have problem because some emotion is not enough or overcharged. There are some basic fundamental emotions. 1+1. eg. Shepherd job is to take the sheep to carrell in the evening. One night he was not sure if he had brought all the sheep back. He had no real way of checking. Being clever he did as follows: used pebbles to put in a bag as sheep went through- which was the 1 to 1 correspondence between sheep and pebble - process same at night by removing pebbles when went through- if less than had to go find sheep. *Logic - any logical statement can be reduced to 1 to 1. Cognition in purest sense is logical thinking. 1 to 1 - if pay bill - for same amount - exact correspondence. Emotions function completely different. Emotion takes the stimulus and either amplifies it or de-amplifies it - don’t have 1 to 1 correspondence. eg. someone smashed my fender. 1. Can rant and rave and unfairness of the world; or will look, will cost $1000. to repair. 50 h x 20 = to pay; won’t gain by wasting energy so will repair. Latter process is more rational. What happened? How will deal with it? This is the difference. This is idealized because even when we think we are being rational and calm, there is some colouring of emotion. Next: this topic is to be continued with Six Emotions (basic emotions). However, let's not forget we are alternating with theology notes. Have a nice day.
