Which statement is a major criticism of the activation-synthesis theory? It fails to explain why not all individuals remember their dreams. Dream content is often more incoherent, bizarre, and confusing than would be expected. Dream content is more consistent over time than would be expected. It fails to explain why young children recall their dreams more often than older children.

00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question.

00:04 The information processing theory says that dreams.

00:07 Okay, so info processing theory of dreams, okay? and before we go into our answer options, i think it'd be helpful to look at what the info processing theory of dreams actually involves.

00:28 So as we see, it's going to put forward the idea that it's two things.

00:32 Dreams are going to happen during the rem stages of this refers to rapid eye movement.

00:40 So during the rem stage of sleep is when we're going to see dreams.

00:43 And dreams are going to be a way for our brains to process the events, the information, the things we saw and heard.

00:52 Really everything we saw during a day, it's going to be a way for our brains to process that.

00:58 So dreams are processing, basically.

01:03 And, you know, our brains are going to.

01:07 To look at what information to keep what information to throw away potentially and the way that's going to manifest is in dreams okay so now that we know that a little bit about dreams let's erase that and start to look at our answers okay all right so we have a a is going to be they are meaningless byproducts of how our brain processes information during rem sleep so buy products of processing.

01:50 This is going to be pretty close to the answer, i would imagine, because it's involving rem sleep, and that is what dreams are a result of.

02:00 Processing.

02:01 So processing during rem sleep is going to be pretty close.

02:03 But i don't like the idea that they're byproducts or that they're meaningless buying products, because dreams are going to be pretty important representations of, you know, not just the things we saw on our day, but how we felt about those things and stuff like that.

02:17 So i don't think a is going to be accurate just because the label of meaningless byproducts is not accurate.

02:23 So b, are symbolic representations of the information we encode during the day? so i'm going to write this as representations of info.

02:34 This one's also going to be pretty close.

02:37 This is one of those questions i don't love because all the answers, unless you come in knowing exactly exactly what they're looking for and exactly what information synthesis is.

02:48 And even then, you could be thrown off very easily by some of the wording.

02:53 Oh, yeah, sorry.

02:56 Representations of information.

02:59 This one's going to be pretty close as well, unfortunately...
