a dualism

d materialism

question 4
(q005) which of the following words means \about a day\ and refers to biological patterns that include sleep?
a circadian
b melatonin
c diurnal - complex
d narcolepsy

Explanation:

• Question 1: Through years of practice, Marcus's golf - swing has become an automatic, non - conscious process, which is an unconscious process. Conscious processes require active thought, preconscious is related to information that can be easily brought to awareness, and subliminal refers to stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness.
• Question 2: The global workspace model posits that consciousness arises from the activity of specific areas of the brain, where the currently active brain parts contribute to moment - to - moment experience. Dualism is a philosophical view separating mind and body, minimally conscious state is a state of low - level consciousness, and materialism is a general philosophical stance about the nature of reality.
• Question 3: In most people, the left hemisphere interprets behavior that is processed in the right hemisphere, especially after corpus callosum severance. This is related to hemispheric specialization and inter - hemispheric communication.
• Question 4: Circadian rhythms are biological patterns that occur approximately every 24 hours (about a day) and include sleep - wake cycles. Melatonin is a hormone related to sleep, the diurnal complex is not the correct term for this concept, and narcolepsy is a sleep disorder.

Answer:

• Question 1: B. unconscious
• Question 2: C. the global workspace model
• Question 3: C. left; right
• Question 4: A. circadian
