STUDY ALERTS
Throughout the modules, marginal notes point out especially 
important and diffi
cult concepts and topics. These Study Alerts off er suggestions 
for learning the material eff ectively and for studying for tests. In Chapter 5, Module 
14, for example, a Study Alert emphasizes the importance of diff erentiating the 
fi ve stages of sleep; the feature in Module 15 makes clear the key issue about 
hypnosis—whether it represents a diff erent state of consciousness or is similar to 
normal waking consciousness; and in Module 16 it highlights Figure 2 for its clear 
view of the diff erent ways that drugs produce their eff ects at a neurological level.
