Updates to the States of Consciousness Module

Posted July 13, 2017

States of Consciousness

We have made a number of minor changes to our States of Consciousness module to improve clarity and provide a better reading experience for students.

Our most substantive change in this module regards sleep. Previously, we used "Stage 1 though 5" nomenclature to describe the sleep stages. In our revision, we have updated this to reflect common descriptions of sleep stages based on REM v. non-REM (NREM) brain activity. We have modified our in-text descriptions accordingly and created a new graphic that we feel will help students better understand these stages.

The PowerPoint and Instructors Manual for this module have also been updated to reflect these changes.
