• Posted Baby Development to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  The lesson that will stick with me even after the course ends is what we learned about human development and more specifically, how infants develop mentally. I used to work in a daycare that had a few infants and when...
• Commented on Are you still there?
  I've never been in this particular situation nor has anyone I'm close to but I can only imagine what a hard decision it might be. I really appreciated your analysis of the BBC video and how you handled this incredibly...
• Commented on Whose memory is correct? Yours? Mine?
  I am forever plagued by false memories! My brain is constantly remembering things in a slightly different way than others involved in the same situation and I used to find it really frustrating. Psychology has helped me to understand though...
• Commented on Pros and Cons for being bilingual
  I agree with joh09374: I've always envied people who can speak more than one language fluently. I took Spanish in high school and can barely remember any of it. What's weird though is I studied Japanese here at the university...
• Commented on Chapter 1: Psychology and Scientitic Thinking
  I too was surprised when I saw how scientific psychology was. I guess it's easy to forget that in order to study the human mind it's important to keep scientific information and methods at the forefront in order to make...
• Commented on I'm posting this because everyone else did, Ch. 13 Social Psychology
  Social interactions between individuals has always fascinated me and I'm really glad that you brought up the point that we act differently around certain people. I've certainly found this to be true in my own interactions with my friends: I...
• Commented on Way to train animal
  I really appreciated this post because training animals is HARD especially the method of training mentioned. I've used that method dozens of times to train my dogs and it is really interesting when you realize that sometimes it works and...
• Posted Beauty Across the World to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  I find it very interesting the the Lilienfeld text, which normally has no problem going into specifics was actually quite general on the many different facets of physical attractiveness. Sure, on page 446 the book discusses briefly the example body...
• Commented on Flying kites with my uncle too?
  Long term memory is a very odd thing! Your story reminds me of the many times that I insist on remembering an event of my childhood and my mother having to correct my memory. You did a very good job...
• Posted Not-so-much Subliminal Messaging to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  In discussion last week we looked at a lot of ads that try and manipulate the audience's emotions positively by invoking happiness, nostalgia or attraction. For my post this week I wanted to find an ad that did the opposite...
• Commented on Mirror Mirror On The Wall
  I agree with what steed016 said above: as a self-aware individual it's hard to remember a time when I was once unaware. I like that you put a personal touch in this post by comparing your sister's twins to the...
• Commented on Because your mother said so.
  I grew up with my mom telling me to drink 8 glasses of water a day and I regret that I have to tell her she was right! I really appreciated how you used the snopes research in comparison to...
• Commented on Chapter 12: Stress, Coping, and Health
  I completely agree with that last statement of yours, about only gaining a basic understanding of the human condition. It is important for us to remember that there are exceptions to every rule, even in psychology!...
• Commented on Chapter 8: Language, Thinking and Reasoning
  I found the chapter you were asked to look at very fascinating. I'm in a linguistics class right now so the the study of languages is especially interesting to me! I like how you added your own personal touch to...
• Posted Human Development (Ch. 10) to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  When I hear the word development, in relation to human beings, my thoughts immediately jump to physical development and how our bodies grow and change as we get older. This chapter in the book, however, reminded me just how much...
