Sight vs. Sound

Post by loca400 »

1.)Do you think sound or sight effects heart rate? Whichever one you choose please explain?

2.) Do you think the state of emotion effects a person's heart rate? Why?

3.) How do we visually infer an event versus if we hear it?

4.) How does temperature effect a person's heart rate?

5.) Does anxiety contribute to heart rate increase?

6.) How does age effect a person's heart rate? Why?

7.) How does our heart rate react to a suspenseful or scary movie?

Hmmm. I see that you have posted your question on the due date of your project. Do you think that is a good idea?

I see that you would like someone other than yourself to answer the questions that, I surmise, were needed for your project. We are here to help you, not to do your work for you.

So here is my help -- go to this URL:

http://www.google.com

Type your questions verbatim into the search box. You will get back a plenitude of relevant information. You might also search Wikipedia for topics such as "heart rate". Be very, very, very sure that you do not just copy the Wikipedia material: that would be plagiarism, which is frowned upon. At the very least you should plan to spend many hours reading and taking notes in order to write your answers. Wikipedia usually provides references -- read these too, where possible, and be sure to cite them as sources for information. That will put a smile on your teacher's face.

Hi loca400,

John gave you some great advice, and you may have already completed your assignment. I just wanted to point out that a lot of your questions have to do with the connection between the nervous system and heart rate. Heart rate is mediated by two divisions of the nervous system: the sympathetic nervous system (for "fight or flight" responses), which speeds up heart rate, and the parasympathetic nervous system (for "resting and digesting"), which slows down the heart rate. If you understand which division would be stimulated (turned on) by different sights, sounds, and emotions, then you would understand their effects on heart rate.
