1, 2, 3.

Alarm phase 'fight or flight' response heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rise in order to supply muscles and brain with more oxy more blood is sent to the skeletal muscles and the brain, while blood flow decreases to the stomach, kidneys, skin and liver. sexual and immune functions are suppressed. hormones acting as natural opiates are released, in order to relieve potentially existing pain. natural fats and sugars are actively produced to supply the organism with extra energy. senses become sharper. the organism activates those systems crucial for an immediate physical response and decreases the energy supply to those organs, which are not so important in a state of emergency..answer 5 is not wrong, there is some cortisol secretion but only for increasing behavioral responsiveness in the face of stressful situations. exemple 355 1, 2, 3.

Question 143-40 : The 'cocktail party effect' is ?

The ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally.

.the 'cocktail party effect' describes the ability to focus your listening attention on a single talker among a mixture of background noise, ignoring other conversations arons, 1992 'the cocktail'..according to clifford 2005 , the effect can occur when we are either paying attention to one of the sounds around us, and when it is invoked by a stimulus which grabs attention suddenly. for example, if someone the other side of a party room calls out your name, you notice that sound and respond to it immediately, whilst still paying some attention to the original group the inability to select a signal from the ambient context is a symptom of hearing loss. or, during a conversation in the cockpit, you respond to your callsign. as it happens, much of the early work about this can be traced to problems faced by air traffic controllers in the early 1950's, when they received many messages simultaneously over loudspeakers it was very difficult to distinguish single voices from the many..our minds can be conceived as a radio receiving many channels at once each channel perceives a kind of sound, but we can pay attention to only one channel at a time because of our limited capacity, so there is an audio filter in our brain which selects the channel to which we should pay attention from many kinds of sound perceived..for the exam, the 'cocktail party effect' is the ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally. exemple 399 The ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally.
