Warm-Up\n[Class Name] [Teacher name]\nFeaturing a real ACT question!\nIn 1856, American author Nathaniel Hawthorne visited a decaying English manor house known as Stanton Harcourt. He was struck by the vast kitchen, which occupied the bottom of a 70-foot tower.      Hawthorne wrote that as he stood in that kitchen, he was seized by an uncanny feeling: “I was haunted and perplexed by an idea that somewhere or other I had seen just this strange spectacle before. The height, the blackness, the dismal void, before my eyes, seemed as familiar as the decorous neatness of my grandmother’s kitchen.” He was certain that he had never actually seen this room or anything like it. And yet for a moment he was caught in what he described as “that odd state of mind wherein we fitfully and teasingly remember some previous scene or incident, of which the one now passing appears to be but the echo and reduplication.”\nINFORMATIONAL: This passage is adapted from the article “The Tease of Memory” by David Glenn (©2004 by The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inc.).\nP1: H’s experience at manor\nReading Warm-Up: Passage\nWhen Hawthorne wrote that passage there was no common term for such an experience. But by the end of the 19th century, after discarding “false recognition,” “paramnesia,” and “promnesia,” scholars had settled on a French candidate: “déjà vu,” or “already seen.”\nThe fleeting melancholy and euphoria associated with déjà vu have attracted the interest of poets and novelists of many stripes. Most academic psychologists, however, have ignored the topic. Déjà vu is difficult to study because it produces no measurable external behaviors. Researchers must trust their subjects’ personal descriptions of what is going on inside their minds. Psychology has generally filed déjà vu away in a drawer marked “Interesting but Insoluble.”     During the past two decades, however, a few hardy souls have reopened the scientific study of déjà vu. Alan S. Brown, a professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University, surveys the fledgling subfield. “What we can try to do is zero in on it from a variety of different angles,” he says.\nP2: decided on term- déjà vu (dv)\nP3: why dv’s not studied academically\nP4: Brown surveyed study of dv\nReading Warm-Up: Passage\nIn Brown’s account, scientific theories of déjà vu fall into four broad categories. In the first category are theories of “dual processing.” The late neuropsychiatrist Pierre Gloor conducted experiments in the 1990s strongly suggesting that memory involves distinct systems of “retrieval” and “familiarity.” In a 1997 paper, he speculated that déjà vu occurs at rare moments when our familiarity system is activated but our retrieval system is not.     In the second category are more purely neurological explanations. One such theory holds that déjà vu experiences are caused by small, brief seizures. Researchers have found that déjà vu can be elicited by electrically stimulating certain regions of the brain.\nP5: 4 theories-\n1st dual processing (Gloor)\nP6: 2nd neurological, seizures\nReading Warm-Up: Passage\nBrown’s third category consists of memory theories. These propose that déjà vu is triggered by something we have actually seen or imagined before, either in waking life, in literature or film, or in a dream. Some of these theories hold that a single element, perhaps familiar from some other context, is enough to spark a déjà vu experience. (Suppose, for example, that the chairs in Stanton Harcourt’s kitchen were identical in color and shape to Hawthorne’s decorously neat grandmother’s, but that he didn’t recognize them in this new context.) At the other end of the scale are theories which suggest that we sometimes falsely recognize a general visual or audio pattern. (Suppose that the Stanton Harcourt kitchen looked similar, in broad visual outline, to a long-forgotten church that Hawthorne had once attended.)\nP7: 3rd memory theories\nReading Warm-Up: Passage\nIn the final category are “double perception","cbCaict6CcvteTlu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaict6CcvteTlu","pptx",7483359,"English","# Reading Warm-Up\n## Passage\n## P1: H’s experience at manor\n## P2: decided on term- déjà vu (dv)\n## P3: why dv’s not studied academically\n## P4: Brown surveyed study of dv\n## P5: 4 theories - 1st dual processing (Gloor)\n## P6: 2nd neurological, seizures\n## P7: 3rd memory theories\n## P8: 4th double perception\n## P9: experiment results\n## P10: Brown- understanding dv will take time\n## Big Picture Summary: dv not scientifically understood – 4 possible explanations","[{\"question\":\"Why is déjà vu difficult to study scientifically?\",\"answer\":\"Because it produces no measurable external behaviors, so researchers must rely on participants’ personal descriptions of what occurs inside their minds.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four broad categories of scientific theories about déjà vu?\",\"answer\":\"The passage groups theories into dual processing, neurological explanations involving brief seizures, memory theories, and double-perception theories.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Jacoby \\u0026 Whitehouse experiment relate to the double-perception idea?\",\"answer\":\"They found that subliminally flashing a word shortly before its official appearance made subjects likely to incorrectly claim it was on the first list, supporting the idea that partial, half-conscious attention can produce false familiarity.\"}]","Reading Warm-Up - Passage - class warm-up | PPTX",1791518223,25]
