- - - - part of the nervous system that controls visceral and glandular functions
      - helps control blood pressure, heart rate, bladder, body temperature, sweating, and many other bodily functions that tend to be relatively involuntary
      - can change bodily and glandular functions incredibly quickly; heart rate and other functions can be changed and increased/decreased in a matter of seconds
      - two major divisions
        
        sympathetic nervous system
        
        organs are typically dominantly controlled by one of the other of the systems
        
        parasympathetic nervous system
    - - cerebral cortex
        
        area of the brain responsible for higher brain functions and thought processes
      - hypothalamus
        
        located in the midbrain and majorly controls bodily functions, including emotions and arousal
        
        can control stress, eating habits and sex drive
        
        simulation of different parts of the hypothalamus can either cause or discourage arousal-like behaviors
- - - - often called "working memory;" if something stays in someone's memory for 20-30 seconds, it is likely to be transferred to long term memory
      - short term memory can hold limited items and amounts of informaiton
    - - process of combining several separate pieces of information into larger ones, larger chunks can be rehearsed as a unit; key words and phrases are used to recall these kinds of memories as triggers
