Psychology - Can a person ever NOT be thinking


Expert: Paul Edward Zukowski - 8/25/2008

Question
I am teaching a high school class and we are working on metacognition. There have been alot of responses such as, "I'm not thinking anything" or "he stopped thinking" Someone posed the question, "how can you not be thinking?" So our questions is...Can a person ever be NOT thinking? Or to put it another way...is there ever a time when our minds are not thinking about something?

Answer
No the brain still working 24/7.
Its process the environment through the eyes ears etc.
Even in its low energy mode; sleeping, it still working.
The sleep cycle and dreaming.
Manytimes people don't realize how much thier brain is doing.
The exception to that would be if there was injury or disease
destroyed the higher function area of the brain.
All of the brain except the brain stem that control base body
function, could stop working and you are still alive.
