Section 1: 1. From an evolutionary perspective, short-term exposure to stress is adaptive and necessary for survival. Unfortunately, long-term exposure to stress is considered maladaptive, yet common, in Western society. Describe some adaptive effects short-term stress has on the brain versus some maladaptive effects long-term stress has on the brain based on the scholarly literature. Thus, for this question, you should be looking at stress with regard to physiological functioning.
2. Other interesting studies on how long-term stress can affect memory functioning?
3. What can be done about prenatal stress? Should we somehow cushion pregnant mothers, so they experience less stress? Not much can be done about stressors such as natural disasters or war. Depression and anxiety in the mother has also been found to stimulate the biological stress pathways. Perhaps we can be more aware of how these conditions can potentially affect the developing fetus and treat these conditions, but medications may also be harmful for the fetus.
