Impulsivity


Orbitofrontal cortex, part of the prefrontal cortex

Impulsivity (or impulsiveness) is a personality trait characterized by the inclination of an individual to initiate behavior without adequate forethought as to the consequences of their actions, acting on the spur of the moment. Eysenck and Eysenck related impulsivity to risk-taking, lack of planning, and making up one's mind quickly. Impulsivity has been shown to be a major component of various neuropsychiatric disorders such as ADHD, substance abuse disorders and bipolar disorder. Impulsivity has been shown to have a genetic component and may be inheritable. Abnormal patterns of impulsivity may also be an acquired trait as a result of various neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury (TBI), hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, intrauterine hypoxia, bacterial or viral infections or neurotoxicity as a result of chemical exposure. The orbitofrontal cortex and right inferior frontal gyrus have been shown to play a part in impulse control.[1][2][3]

As a personality trait, impulsivity is part of normal behavior as it contributes to adaptive functioning. To do something and not be aware, especially for young children, is relatively common. Recent psychological research has suggested that there are various facets of impulsivity.[4] Some researchers have proposed a 3-factor model according to impulsivity; attentional ("getting easily bored"), motor ("going into action") and cognitive ("inability to plan") factors. Recent theories[5] have suggested five separate aspects of impulsivity:[6]

  • Positive urgency; the tendency to act rashly while in a positive mood.
  • Negative urgency; the tendency to act rashly while in a negative mood.
  • Lack of premeditation; the inability to anticipate the future consequences of actions.
  • Lack of perseverance; the inability to follow through on a task
  • Sensation-seeking; the experience of positive feelings towards risky actions.

Psychometric tests for impulsivity

  • Lifetime History of Impulsive Behaviors; a self-report questionnaire of the lifetime prevalence of impulsive behavior.[7]
  • UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale (Whiteside and Lynam; 2001); a 45-item self-report questionnaire which distinguishes four facets of impulsivity: urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation-seeking. It is scored on a 4-point scale from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree.[8]
    • UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P); a revised version of the UPPS is a 59-item self-report questionnaire that adds an additional factor, "positive urgency".[9]
    • UPPS-R Interview (UPPS-R); Semi-structured interview format for UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale.
  • Barratt Impulsiveness Scale; a 30-item self-report questionnaire.[10]

In classical mechanics, an impulse is defined as the integral of a force with respect to time. When a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. A small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly, because it is the product of the force and the time for which it is applied that is important. The impulse is equal to the change of momentum.

Mathematical derivation

Impulse I produced from time t1 to t2 is defined to be[1]

\mathbf{I} = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} \mathbf{F}\, dt

where F is the force applied from t1 to t2.

From Newton's second law, force is related to momentum p by

\mathbf{F} = \frac{d\mathbf{p}}{dt}.

Therefore

\begin{align}  \mathbf{I} &= \int_{t_1}^{t_2} \frac{d\mathbf{p}}{dt}\, dt \\  &= \int_{t_1}^{t_2} d\mathbf{p} \\  &= \Delta \mathbf{p}, \end{align}

where Δp is the change in momentum from time t1 to t2. This is often called the impulse-momentum theorem.[2]

As a result, an impulse may also be regarded as the change in momentum of an object to which a force is applied. The impulse may be expressed in a simpler form when both the force and the mass are constant:

\mathbf{I} = \mathbf{F}\,\Delta t = m \,\Delta \mathbf{v} = \Delta\mathbf{p}

where

F is the constant total net force applied,
Δt is the time interval over which the force is applied,
m is the constant mass of the object,
Δv is the change in velocity produced by the force in the considered time interval, and
m Δv = Δ(mv) is the change in linear momentum.

It is often the case that not just one but both of these two quantities vary.

In the technical sense, impulse is a physical quantity, not an event or force. The term "impulse" is also used to refer to a fast-acting force. This type of impulse is often idealized so that the change in momentum produced by the force happens with no change in time. This sort of change is a step change, and is not physically possible. This is a useful model for computing the effects of ideal collisions (such as in game physics engines).

Impulse has the same units (in the International System of Units, kg·m/s = N·s) and dimensions (MLT−1) as momentum.

Impulse can be calculated using the equation

\mathbf{F}\,\Delta t = \Delta  p = mv_1 - mv_0 \,

where

F is the constant total net force applied,
t is the time interval over which the force is applied,
m is the constant mass of the object,
v1 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and
v0 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins.

Masih Ada Waktu (Ebiet G Ade)



Bila masih mungkin kita menorehkan bakti
atas nama jiwa dan hati tulus ikhlas
Mumpung masih ada kesempatan buat kita
mengumpulkan bekal perjalanan abadi
ho ho ho du du du du du du
du du du du du du du ho ho ho ho
Kita pasti ingat tragedi yang memilukan
Kenapa harus mereka yang terpilih menghadap?
Tentu ada hikmah yang harus kita petik
Atas nama jiwa mari heningkan cipta
Kita mesti bersyukur bahwa kita masih diberi waktu
Entah sampai kapan, tak ada yang bakal dapat menghitung
Hanya atas kasihNya, hanya atas kehendakNya
Kita masih bertemu matahari
Kepada rumpun ilalang, kepada bintang gemintang
Kita dapat mencoba meminjam catatanNya
Sampai kapankah gerangan waktu yang masih tersisa?
Semuanya menggeleng, semuanya terdiam,
semuanya menjawab, "Tak mengerti."
Yang terbaik hanyalah segeralah bersujud
Mumpung kita masih diberi waktu
Kita mesti bersyukur bahwa kita masih diberi waktu
Entah sampai kapan, tak ada yang bakal dapat menghitung
Hanya atas kasihNya, hanya atas kehendakNya
Kita masih bertemu matahari
Kepada rumpun ilalang, kepada bintang gemintang
Kita dapat mencoba meminjam catatanNya
Sampai kapankah gerangan waktu yang masih tersisa?
Semuanya menggeleng, semuanya terdiam,
semuanya menjawab, "Tak mengerti."
Yang terbaik hanyalah segeralah bersujud
Mumpung kita masih diberi waktu
ho ho ho du du du du du du
du du du du du du du ho ho ho ho

Listening to Music


Lecture 2 - Introduction to Instruments and Musical Genres

Overview:

This lecture provides an introduction to basic classical music terminology, orchestral instruments, and acoustics. Professor Wright begins with a brief discussion of the distinctions between such broad terms as "song" and "piece," briefly mentioning more specific terms for musical genres, such as "symphony" and "opera." He then moves on to describe the differences between a "motive" and a "theme," demonstrating the distinction between the two with the use of music by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. Following this, he calls upon three guest instrumentalists on French horn, bassoon, and viola to give a brief performance-introduction to each instrument. He concludes the session with a discussion of acoustics, focusing on the concept of partials, and then brings the lecture to a close with commentary on Richard Strauss's tone-poem, Death and Transfiguration.
