  I absolutely agree with the importance of sleep. Coming from someone who has pulled many all-nighters before tests I've realized that's not the best way for going about achieving success. When your able to prepare in advance and get an...
• Commented on Why Do I Do What I Do?
  Good points that you bring up. I too thought it was very interesting to learn all the different examples that we saw on both operant and classical conditioning. I think that humans are very much susceptible to both especially when...

  Very true, and relevant to our society especially. I can't tell you how many times I myself have fallen victim to being the bystander and not being able to get myself to step in and do the right thing, even...
• Commented on Psychology and me
  This is an interesting topic that you bring up. In reality though, I think that this is a big thing that the U.S. is lacking. It is very true that many places abroad people speak at least 2 if not...

  Interesting topic to bring up. However, personally I think that it's pretty clear that when upset or unhappy that you won't be able to sleep compared to when everything in your life is going well and you don't have much...
• Commented on Pick Your Battles
  You bring up an interesting topic that I think almost all of us can relate to. While certain things may seem funny at the time, you never know how your impacting the people that you are saying them too. Also,...
• Commented on There's no place like a home
  This is a very sad, but true analysis. It's a topic that's hard to discus and really know, what solution can we/our government come up with? On one hand, everyone deserves to have there place that they can call home...
• Commented on The Science of Arousal
  I thought that this was a very interesting topic as well. It's really crazy how advertisements work, like you mentioned, it's not that we want to be laying on a bunch of bottle caps, but the arousal that we get...
• Posted The Power of Learning to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001

  For this blog entry, I decided to look into research on lie detection, more specifically, the polygraph or "lie detector" test. I'm sure that we have all seen movies or TV shows where someone is put under a "lie detector"...
• Commented on No, you did not tell me that!
  I think that you did a good job with your definitions and examples, however I would maybe leave the confusion associated with Bush out of there, that's just a little controversial for some people. Not necessarily myself but probably others....
• Commented on The TRUE Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  I think that it would be very interesting, yet complex if we had the technology to erase either all of our memory, or certain intervals of our memory. Think if we were able to do this, what would come from...
• Commented on Diagnosing Rachel McAdams in "The Vow"
  I haven't actually seen this movie but I would like to see the ways that they describe her memory loss. I have seen 50 first dates but I would like to see the ways that Hollywood describes her memory loss....

  I think that ESP is a very interesting concept. I agree with the statement above that I think this may be a phenomena that will never fully be understood. However, I think that those that truly believe in it and...
