Социально-политические и экономические преобразования во всех сферах
жизни нашего общества привели к существенным изменениям в сфере образования.
Изменился и статус иностранного языка. Усилилось его значение как действенного
фактора социально-экономического, научно-технического и общекультурного
прогресса, как средства устного и письменного общения между представителями
разных народов и культур и как важного средства развития интеллектуальных
способностей, их общеобразовательного потенциала.Расширение международных
связей, вхождение нашего государства в мировое сообщество сделало иностранный
язык реально востребованным государством, обществом и личностью. Без должного
знания иностранного языка трудно представить себе ученого, практика-
профессионала. Непрерывный обмен профессиональной информацией составляет
основу для карьерного и личностного роста. В этой связи учебная дисциплина
«Иностранный язык» играет важную роль в процессе подготовки будущего
специалиста, так как является средством формирования профессиональной
направленности, т.е. интереса к будущей профессии и стремления получить знания
по возможно большему числу коммуникационных каналов.
Настоящее пособие «Английский язык» предназначено для студентов
направлений подготовки 050700.62 Специальное (дефектологическое) образование;
030300.62 Психология и составлено в соответствии с требованиями Федерального
государственного образовательного стандарта Российской Федерации к
обязательному минимуму содержания основной образовательной программы
дисциплины «Иностранный язык».
Цель пособия – формирование и развитие умений чтения, перевода и
реферирования англоязычных психологических текстов, и навыков общения на
профессионально-ориентированные темы.
Цель реализуется в следующих задачах:
1. Научиться читать и понимать оригинальные научно-популярные
психологические тексты.
2. Уметь переводить аутентичные психологические тексты среднего уровня
сложности.

3
3. Уметь обрабатывать и извлекать необходимую информацию из предложенных
текстов по профилю специальности.
4. Уметь поддерживать беседу на английском языке и делать сообщения в рамках
изучаемых тем.
5. Овладеть базовым минимумом лексических единиц терминологического
характера по специальности.
Необходимость решения поставленных задач предопределила структуру
пособия. Так, пособие состоит из 10 разделов, тематика которых соответствует
программе обучения иностранному языку для студентов направлений подготовки:
050700.62 Специальное (дефектологическое) образование; 030300.62 Психология. В
центре каждого раздела – текст по одному из разделов общей психологии:
1) What Is Psychology; 2) How Do Psychologists Study the Mind; 3) What Is the
Difference Between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist; 4) The Self and Thinking; 5) The
Investigation of Sleep; 6)What Is Stress; 7) Arousal and Emotion; 8) Body Language; 9)
Color Psychology; 10) Organization of the nervous system.
Все разделы построены по единой схеме, хотя и отличаются разнообразием
содержания наполнения. Тексты, включенные в данное пособие, научно-популярные
по своему характеру, являются оригинальными и неадаптированными. Однако они
были подвергнуты некоторым сокращениям, что продиктовано учебными целями
пособия. Каждый текст предваряет список активной лексики, либо высоко частотной
в психологической литературе, либо абсолютно необходимой для последующего
устного обсуждения темы урока.
Активная лексика урока закрепляется в ходе выполнения послетекстовых
упражнений. Это упражнения на перевод словосочетаний и коротких предложений с
английского языка на русский и с русского на английский, предназначенные,
главным образом, для устной аудиторной работы. Помимо этого, в качестве
лексических в пособие включены упражнения на соответствие слов и их значений, а
также упражнения на понимание текста (true or false) c использованием разговорных
клише.В пособие включены также упражнения на отдельные словообразовательные
модели, наиболее широко распространенные в психологической литературе. Это

4
продиктовано тем, что знание таких моделей значительно расширяет потенциальный
словарный запас студентов.
Наряду с активизацией лексики в пособии отводится значительное место
изучению грамматического материала. Это материал для рецептивного усвоения, и
ему обычно уделяется недостаточно внимания в школьном курсе английского языка
(активный и пассивный залоги, времена группы Simple, Continuous, Perfect, условные
предложения, модальные глаголы и т.д.) Поскольку тематика текстов уже знакома
студентам из курса общей психологии, на их основе можно успешно развивать
навыки устной речи. Это, прежде всего, вопросно-ответная форма работы над
текстами для проверки понимания прочитанного, для контроля за степенью
сформированности умений чтения и перевода.
В качестве завершающего этапа работы по теме в конце каждого раздела
предлагаются творческие задания в соответствии с деятельностным подходом,
направленные на решение позновательно-коммуникативных задач и возможного
использования полученной информации в будущей профессиональной деятельности.
Все упражнения направлены на достижение основной цели данного пособия.
Для облегчения работы пособие снабжено словарем (Glossary), где дается
перечень некоторых психологических терминов по темам уроков.
На каждый урок пособия рекомендуется отводить 2-3 занятия (4-6 часов), хотя
в зависимости от уровня подготовленности студентов программа может меняться.
Работу над уроками рекомендуется построить следующим образом:
1) работа над основным текстом и словарем: чтение и перевод текста;
2) выполнение упражнений, служащих для активизации фонетического и
лексического материала;
3) речевая тренировка с помощью подстановочных лексических таблиц;
4) выполнение упражнений, направленных на проверку понимания прочитанного
текста;
5) решение учебных ситуаций.
Апробация материалов данного пособия проводилась на занятиях по
английскому языку для студентов специальности 030301.65 «Психология».

What Is Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and
behaviour. Psychologists observe and record how people and
other animals relate to one another and to the environment. They

6
look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behaviour, and they use
scientific methods to test their ideas. Through such studies, psychologists have learned
much that can help people fulfill their potential as human beings and increase understanding
between individuals, groups, nations, and cultures.
Psychology evolved out of both philosophy and biology. Discussions of these two
subjects date as far back as the early Greek thinkers including Aristotle and Socrates. The
word psychology is derived from the Greek word psyche, meaning ‘soul’ or 'mind.'
Psychology is a broad field that explores a variety of questions about thoughts,
feelings, and actions. Psychologists ask such questions as: “How do we see, hear, smell,
taste, and feel? What enables us to learn, think, and remember, and why do we forget? What
activities distinguish human beings from other animals? What abilities are we born with,
and which must we learn? How much does the mind affect the body, and how does the body
affect the mind? For example, can we change our heart rate or temperature just by thinking
about doing so? What can our dreams tell us about our needs, wishes, and desires? Why do
we like the people we like? What is mental illness?”
The research findings of psychologists have greatly increased our
understanding of why people behave as they do. For example,
psychologists have discovered much about how personality
develops and how to promote healthy development. They have
some knowledge of how to help people change bad habits and how to help students learn.
They understand some of the conditions that can make workers more productive. A great
deal remains to be discovered. Nevertheless, insights provided by psychology can help
people function better as individuals, friends, family members, and workers.
Because psychology affects so many aspects of our lives it is important, even for
those who do not intend to specialize in the field, to know something about its basic facts
and research methods.

How Do Psychologists Study the Mind
Psychology is the science of the mind and behaviour. The human mind is perhaps the
most complex and unique field of study, and has been a puzzle to humankind for hundreds
of years. The human mind is the source of all thought, behaviour, emotions, interactions,
and it determines how we conduct ourselves in society.

14
The mind is highly complex and enigmatic. Many wonder how
psychologists can study such an abstract and extremely
sophisticated thing. Even if scientists look inside the brain, as in an
autopsy or during a surgical operation, all they see is grey matter
(the brain). Thoughts, cognition, emotions, memories, dreams,
perceptions, etc. cannot be seen physically, like a skin rash or heart defect. Technological
advances in recent years have made it possible to study the brain more precisely than ever
before. It is now well established that some functions are localized in fairly circumscribed
brain areas: speech, recognition of spoken words and the production of motor responses are
examples. All areas of the human brain are not equal potential. On other hand, many
different brain regions are involved in such mental processes as reasoning and problem
solving. In addition many functions are duplicated in more than one brain area. Thus, if one
part of the brain is damaged by concussion or stroke, other areas can often take over its
functions.
Experts say that the approach to psychology is not that different to other sciences. As
in other sciences, experiments are devised to confirm or disprove theories or expectations.
For a psychologist, human behaviour is used as evidence - or at least an indication - of how
the mind functions. We are unable to observe the mind directly; however, virtually all our
actions, feelings and thoughts are influenced by the functioning of our minds. That is why
human behaviour is used as raw data for testing psychological theories on how the mind
functions.
German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt opened the first experimental psychology labs
in the late 1800s. Since that time we have learned an enormous amount about the
relationship between brain, mind, memory and behaviour.

14. Make up a short account about some famous psychologists you like according to
the pattern:
Ex.: Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (16 August 1832 – 31 August 1920) was a German
physician, psychologist, physiologist, philosopher, and professor, known today as one of the
founding figures of modern psychology. As a matter of fact, Wundt, who noted psychology
as a science apart from biology and philosophy, was the first person to ever call himself a
18
Psychologist. He is widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology". In 1879,
Wundt founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of
Leipzig. This marked psychology as an independent field of study. By creating this
laboratory he was able to explore the nature of religious beliefs, identify mental disorders
and abnormal behavior, and find damaged parts of the brain. In doing so, he was able to
establish psychology as a separate science from other topics. He also formed the first
journal for psychological research in 1881.

What Is the Difference Between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist
The work of psychologists and psychiatrists has much in common. Both
psychologists and psychiatrists can provide psychotherapy and counseling services. Both
psychologists and psychiatrists are trained to diagnose neuropsychological disorders and
dysfunctions plus psychotic, neurotic and personality disorders and
dysfunctions. Both professionals are granted the right to make such
diagnoses by law while other doctors cannot. Both psychologists
and psychiatrists help people maintain and enhance their physical,
intellectual, emotional, social and interpersonal functioning.
However, there are some important differences in training and special skills.
Psychiatrists, as medical doctors, can prescribe medications for psychological distress.
Psychologists do not prescribe medications, instead focusing their treatment on
psychotherapy. In addition, psychologists are the only mental health professionals who are
fully trained and qualified to use psychological tests.
The education of psychologists provides knowledge of psychological and emotional
problems, personality, and human development, integrated with specialized training in how
to apply this knowledge to helping people with emotional distress and other problems in
living. The psychologist's training in research allows them to evaluate the best ways to help
people and to make decisions on what helps and what doesn't help different people with
various situations.
Psychologists also specialize in psychological testing. Psychological tests are used in
situations where there are questions about what a person's particular problem is. For
example, a psychologist may use psychological tests to determine whether a child has a
learning disorder. Psychologists also use psychological tests in legal cases or any time there
is uncertainty about what is troubling an individual Psychological tests can include
assessments of personality styles, tests of emotional well-being, intellectual (or "IQ") tests,

21
tests of academic achievement and tests for possible brain damage. The use of
psychological tests requires years of training that involves not only learning how to give the
tests, but also how to integrate all the information from a variety of tests, background
information, interviews, and knowledge of theories, research, psychological problems,
personalities, and human development. Psychologists are the only mental health
professionals who are fully trained and qualified to use psychological tests.
It is important to be aware that there can be broad differences in training and
philosophy among psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other therapists which
can often lead to widely differing treatment approaches and understandings of
psychological and emotional problems.

The Self and Thinking
How one feels about himself affects not only the content of his
thinking but the way he thinks. A person who has a positive self-
concept tends to spend more time thinking about his good
qualities and his success experiences, whereas a person with an
essentially negative self-concept spends more time thinking of his failures in life and his
inadequacies as a person.
There is also evidence that how one feels about himself is related to how effectively
he thinks. People who don’t like themselves tend to have difficulties in solving problems
effectively whereas people who feel good about themselves tend to be much more effective
in problem solving. People who feel inadequate tend to think more rigidly. They tend to
think in terms of black and white or good and bad, rather than in shades of grey. People
who feel comfortable about themselves can bring new and unique ideas into their thoughts
about a problem situation. They are much more creative and far more apt to come up with

28
original ideas. Thus, man’s view of himself whether accurate or not, can serve either as
facilitators or inhibitors of effective thinking.
Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health.
Health benefits that positive thinking may provide:
 Increased life span
 Lower rates of depression
 Lower levels of distress
 Greater resistance to the common cold
 Better psychological and physical well-being
 Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
 Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health
benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with
stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It's also
thought that positive and optimistic people tend to live healthier lifestyles — they get more
physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and don't smoke or drink alcohol in excess.
Whenever our intellectual energies are free from our inner turmoil, they can be turned
to the problems of living life instead of being manipulated by life.

Enable, reduce, cardiovascular, intellectual, energy, instead, excess, concept,

as a science apart from biology and philosophy, was the first person to ever call himself a
Psychologist. He is widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology". In 1879,
Wundt founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of
Leipzig. This marked psychology as an independent field of study. By creating this
laboratory he was able to explore the nature of religious beliefs, identify mental disorders
and abnormal behavior, and find damaged parts of the brain. In doing so, he was able to
establish psychology as a separate science from other topics. He also formed the first
journal for psychological research in 1881.

The Investigation of Sleep
Most of us will probably spend the third of our lives asleep. Yet the nature of sleep
has puzzled mankind for thousands of years. It is only in the last quarter of a century that
researches have made scientific attempts to investigate this world.
Many of us want to sleep as little as possible—or feel like we have to. There are so
many things that seem more interesting or important than getting a
few more hours of sleep. But just as exercise and nutrition are

34
essential for optimal health and happiness, so is sleep. The quality of your sleep directly
affects the quality of your waking life, including your mental sharpness, productivity,
emotional balance, creativity, physical vitality, and even your weight. No other activity
delivers so many benefits with so little effort!
Sleep isn’t merely a time when your body and brain shut off. While you rest, your
brain stays busy, overseeing a wide variety of biological maintenance tasks that keep you
running in top condition and prepare you for the day ahead. 
At night, your body responds to the loss of daylight by producing melatonin, a
hormone that makes you sleepy. During the day, sunlight triggers the brain to inhibit
melatonin production so you feel awake and alert.
This sleep-wake cycle can be disrupted by factors such as nightshift work, traveling
across time zones, or irregular sleeping patterns, leaving you feeling groggy, disoriented,
and sleepy at inconvenient times. The production of melatonin can also be thrown off when
you’re deprived of sunlight during the day or exposed to too much artificial light at night,
disrupting the sleep-wake cycle and preventing you from getting the sleep you need.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average adult sleeps less than 7
hours per night. In today’s fast-paced society, 6 or 7 hours of sleep may sound pretty good.
In reality, it’s a recipe for chronic sleep deprivation.
While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults
need between 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens
need even more.
All sleep is not created equal. Sleep unfolds in a series of recurring sleep stages that
are very different from one another.
There are two main types of sleep:
 Non-REM (NREM) sleep (“quite sleep”) consists of four stages
of sleep, each deeper than the last.
 REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep (“active sleep”) is when you do most
active dreaming. Your eyes actually move back and forth during this stage, which is why it
is called Rapid Eye Movement sleep.
So most of us sleep in two distinct ways: REM sleep, when we dream and “quite
sleep” when we simply sleep.

What Is Stress
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by
both good and bad experiences. When people feel stressed by
something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing
chemicals into the blood. These chemicals give people more
energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is
caused by physical danger. But this can also be a bad thing, if
their stress is in response to something emotional and there is no outlet for this extra energy
and strength.
One of the pioneers of stress research, Dr. Hans Selye wrote that .stress is essentially
reflected by the rate of all the wear and tear caused by life.

40
Many different things can cause stress from physical (such as fear of something
dangerous) to emotional (such as worry over your family or job.) Some of the most
common sources of stress are:
Survival Stress - You may have heard the phrase "fight or flight" before. This is a
common response to danger in all people and animals. When you are afraid that someone or
something may physically hurt you, your body naturally responds with a burst of energy so
that you will be better able to survive the dangerous situation (fight) or escape it all together
(flight).
Internal Stress - Have you ever caught yourself worrying about things you can do
nothing about or worrying for no reason at all? This is internal stress.
Environmental Stress - This is a response to things around you that cause stress, such
as noise, crowding, and pressure from work or family.
Fatigue and Overwork - This kind of stress can be caused by working too much or
too hard at your job(s), school, or home. It can also be caused by not knowing how to
manage your time well or how to take time out for rest and relaxation.
Stress can affect both your body and your mind. People under large amounts of stress
can become tired, sick, and unable to concentrate or think clearly.
The events that provoke stress are called stressors. It is impossible to avoid stressors.
The only totally stress-free state is death! Stressors will always be there because we live in
an imperfect and unpredictable world.
We need to assist our bodies to cope with being stressed because our natural
biological stress-adjustors are not ideally suited to the demands of modern living.
However, not all stress is negative. The word eustress has been coined to describe
positive stress. Eustress is the stress of winning and achieving.
Your ability to tolerate stress depends on many factors, including the quality of your
relationships, your general outlook on life, your emotional intelligence, and genetics.

Arousal and Emotion
Most of the time we are fairy clear about the emotions
we are experiencing, we know whether we are angry or
frightened or merely excited. But our physiological
responses under all three conditions are remarkably
similar. Fear makes our heart beat faster, but so do anger
or the sight of a loved one. Our face may flush or pale when we are angry (depending on the
individual) and the same is true when we are frightened.
Emotions exert and incredibly powerful force on human behavior. Strong emotions
can cause you to take actions you might not normally perform, or avoid situations that you
generally enjoy.
In psychology, emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in
physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior. Emotionality is
associated with a range of psychological phenomena including temperament, personality,
mood and motivation. The major theories of motivation can be grouped into three main

46
categories: physiological, neurological and cognitive. Physiological theories suggest that
responses within the body are responsible for emotions. Neurological theories propose that
activity within the brain leads to emotional responses. Finally, cognitive theories argue that
thoughts and other mental activity play an essential role in the formation of emotions.
The James-Lange theory is one of the best-known examples of a physiological theory
of emotion. Independently proposed by psychologist William James and physiologist Carl
Lange, the James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that emotions occur as a result of
physiological reactions to events.
According to this theory, you see an external stimulus that leads to a physiological
reaction. Your emotional reaction is dependent upon how you interpret those physical
reactions. For example, suppose you are walking in the woods and you see a grizzly bear.
You begin to tremble and your heart begins to race. The James-Lange theory proposes that
you will interpret your physical reactions and conclude that you are frightened ("I am
trembling, therefore I am afraid").
Another well-known physiological theory is the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion.
This theory states that we feel emotions and experience physiological reactions such as
sweating, trembling and muscle tension simultaneously. More specifically, it is suggested
that emotions result when the thalamus sends a message to the brain in response to a
stimulus, resulting in a physiological reaction.
Understanding how the brain works shows that these theories of emotion - cognitive
appraisal and physiological perception - can be combined into a unified theory of emotions.
Emotions are difficult to study because of the complexity and interrelatedness of the
physiological responses involved and because the kinds of emotions that can be aroused in
the laboratory do not compare in intensity with those experienced in real life.

Body Language
Body language is a broad term for forms of communication using body movements or
gestures instead of, or in addition to, sounds, verbal language, or other forms of
communication. It forms part of the category of paralanguage, which describes all forms of
human communication that are not verbal language.
Body Language is very relevant to management and leadership,
and to all aspects of work and business where communications
can be seen and physically observed among people.
When we go for an interview, most of us think carefully about
what to wear and what to say but hardly ever about how to act –
in other words, what our body language is telling the interviewer.
According to experts, body language accounts for 55% of the effect we have when
communicating. Employers nowadays are cautious about the fast-talking interviewee but
they look increasingly for their signs which will show a person`s character and ability –
such as body language. You should always smile when you enter the interview room and
when the interview has finished because first and last impressions count. In fact, body
language is vital – so, at an interview, take the trouble to get it right. Body language is also
very relevant to relationships outside of work, for example in dating and in families and
parenting.
The sending and receiving of body language signals happens on conscious and
unconscious levels.
Paralanguage, including body language, has been extensively studied in social
psychology. In everyday speech and popular psychology, the term is most often applied to
body language that is considered involuntary, even though the distinction between
voluntary and involuntary body language is often controversial. For example, a smile may
be produced either consciously or unconsciously.
Voluntary body language refers to movement, gestures and poses intentionally made
by a person (i.e., conscious smiling, hand movements and imitation).

53
Involuntary body language quite often takes the form of facial expression, and has
therefore been suggested as a means to identify the emotions of a person with whom one is
communicating.
Body language is a product of both genetic and environmental influences. Blind
children will smile and laugh even though they have never seen a smile. Remember that
body language varies greatly with people and especially with international cultures (so be
very careful when applying Western understanding to Eastern non-verbal language). Body
language reflects also differences of gender. 
Body language is both the most basic, fundamental form of expression used by
human beings to communicate with one another, and at the same time a part of a highly
sophisticated and culturally specific system of coded signals, in which bodily and facial
movement play at least as important a part as verbal utterance.

Color Is a Meaningful Psychological Tool
Color is a meaningful constant for sighted people and it’s a powerful psychological
tool. By using color psychology, you can send positive or negative messages, encourage
sales, calm crowd. It is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action,
influence mood, and cause physiological reactions. Certain colors can raise blood pressure,
increase metabolism, or cause eye strain. Of course, your feelings about color can also be
deeply personal and are often rooted in your own experience or culture. For example, while
the color white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is
seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries.
Several ancient cultures, including the Egyptians and Chinese, practiced
chromotherapy, or using colors to heal.
There are four psychological primary colors - red, blue, yellow and green. They relate
respectively to the body, the mind, the emotions and the essential
balance between these three. The psychological properties of the
nine basic colors are as follows:
Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in
fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish
and timeless. Black also implies submission.
White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating
and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and goes with everything.
Red is the most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and
breathing. It is also the color of love.
The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing.
Blue the color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It
causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce
calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing.
Green currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the
easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color.

60
Yellow is cheerful sunny color. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose
their tempers more often in yellow rooms. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in,
so it can be overpowering if overused.
Purple the color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication.
Brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature.
Most psychologists view color therapy with skepticism and point out that the
supposed effects of color have been exaggerated. Research has demonstrated in many cases
that the mood-altering effects of color may only be temporary.

Organization of the Nervous System
All parts of the nervous system are interrelated. The central
nervous system includes all the nerves in the brain and spinal cord
and it contains the majority of the body’s neurons. The peripheral
nervous system consists of the nerves leading from the brain and
spinal cord to the other parts of the body. The peripheral nervous
system is subdivided into the somatic system and the autonomic system.
The nerves of the somatic system transmit information about external stimulation
from the skin, muscles and joints to the central nervous system. They make us aware of
pain, pressure and temperature variations. Nerves of the somatic system also carry impulses
from the central nervous system back to the body parts, where they initiate actions.
The nerves of the autonomic system run to and from the internal organs regulating
such processes as respiration, heart rate and digestion. Many of the activities that it controls
are autonomous or self-regulating – such as digestion and circulation, which continue even
when a person is asleep or unconscious. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions –
the sympathetic and the parasympathetic – which are often antagonistic in their actions.
The sympathetic division tends to act as a unit. During emotional excitement it
simultaneously speeds up the heart, dilates the arteries of the skeletal muscles and heart. Its
action also leads to perspiration and to secretion of certain hormones that increase
emotional arousal.
The parasympathetic division tends to affect one organ at a time. If the sympathetic
system is thought of as dominant during violent and excited activity, the parasympathetic

66
system may be thought as dominant during quiescence. It participates in digestion and, in
general, it maintains the functions that conserve and protect bodily resources.
When both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers are connected to the same muscle
or gland, they usually act in opposite manners. One speeds the heart rate, the other slows it;
one inhibits digestive processes, the other facilitates them.
Both systems are usually exerting some influence, that is both are usually “on”, but
one temporarily dominates the other. Their interaction is very complex though and not fully
understood.
Exercises
1. Transcribe the following words and practice their pronunciation:
Autonomic, temporarily, quiescence, initiate, exert, digestion, simultaneously,
artery.

2. Form the words by means of the negative prefixes im – and in – according to
