The terms are arranged alphabetically within a topic heading. BIOFEEDBACK AND STRESS MANAGEMENT Alpha and theta producers: EEG patterns reflecting reduced levels of electrocortical activity and explored often in studies on meditation and related forms of relaxation; found in some studies to correlate with various induced states of relaxation.

Cognitive versus physiological measures: Two types of measures for assessing effects of treatments on tension reduction: cognitive measures are self-reports of tension, frequency of problems, anxiety, distress, ability to relax, severity of problem, and so on; physiological measures include EMG and finger temperature data. Conditioned emotional response (CER)

COHESION Cohesion: Cohesion consists of three components: intermember attraction (sociometric choice, friendship) , instrumental value of the group (value of membership for achieving common goals)

in both left and right hemispheres. Lateral orientation: Refers to the hypothesis, largely unsupported to date, that lateral eye movements index lateral cerebral activity, which in turn indicates cognitive activity associated with a particular hemisphere.

Priming: Refers to a procedure used to call forth either a verbal or a visual representation, to wit, a cue given verbally would prime the verbal store, and a visual cue would prime the visual store. Propositional theory: Another approach to the mental representation of objects, this argues that memories are stored as neither a visual nor a verbal code, but in an abstract propositional form.

tasks, for example, foul shooting versus playing a game of basketball. NEUROLINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING Anchors: A term used by NLP practitioners referring to the tactics involved in pinning down an internal response as auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or olfactory.

: One of three sensory modalities, visual, auditory, or kinesthetic, in which most cognitive events associated with day-to-day experiences are principally encoded. Reframing: A technique used to identify the positive intention behind observed behavior; the NLP practitioner attempts to build a system inside a person, using the person's internal dialogue to communicate with his or her "unconscious" parts.

File drawer problem: Unreported studies tend to be those with lower effect sizes; this problem serves to reduce the success rate calculated on the basis of published data. Majority vote technique: In ESP tests, a scoring method whereby the most frequent call, from a number of calls made for the same target, is defined as a single response to that target.

Sleep stages: Defined by EEG activity as follows: Stage W (waking state) shows alpha or a low-voltage mixed-frequency EEG, or both; stage I is a low-voltage mixed-frequency EEG with much 2 to 7 hertz activity; stage II shows high-voltage negative-positive spikes and the absence of generalized high-amplitude waves; stage III is 20 to 50 percent with high-amplitude delta waves; stage IV is characterized by delta waves in more than 50 percent of the epoch; and stage REM is characterized by the concomitance of low-voltage mixed-frequency EEG activity and episodic rapid eye movement.

: A combination of methods geared primarily toward classroom learning and cognitive tasks. Relaxation, guided imagery, concentration, and suggestive principles are woven into a package designed to enhance learning.
