• Commented on Blog 3 Repost: Tiger Mother vs. Permissive Parenting

• Commented on F.R.i.E.N.D.S.

  I am still fascinated with magic too. Something to look into is Criss Angel. He does a lot of magic and illusion tricks. Some of them I still can't figure out even though I've tried looking it up. I also...

  The topic of sleep and dreaming is very interesting to me too. I usually have vivid dreams and have a lot of them in one night. The paralysis thing while dreaming is also interesting. I've woken up before and been...
• Commented on That's gonna leave a mark...
  I can see why a lot of advertising is targeted towards younger generations. I remember as a kid watching tv when commercials would come on for these amazing new toys like moon sand or whatever, I always wanted them because...
• Commented on Can you Hear What I Hear?
  I remember people playing around with that in highschool, and while it didn't bother some people, or they ignored it, other people like myself were very sensitive to it. Like others have stated, I too hadn't known that it was...
• Commented on The Truth Behind 50 First Dates
  I have only seen parts of this movie but from what I have seen it does show what the hardships of having memory loss can be. Like aaron035 said, it's a humorous way of showing people how hard memory loss...
• Commented on Flying kites with my uncle too?
  This has happened to me too where I've told my mom a memory and she's had to correct a few details, or she's told me something of when I was younger, and then suddenly I could remember it. After learning...

  I usually played with my dad more than my mom when I was younger. However, in my case it was more because my mom worked days and my dad worked nights. In the last few years, I go to my...
• Commented on Can You Turn Up The Volume?
  I've been in marching band, and now am involved in Drumline and Drum Corps. I don't know if it's because of these activities directly, but I have found that I am sometimes harder of hearing. In these activities it's up...
• Commented on Language, Thinking and Reasoning
  I agree with what you said and that twins tend to understand each other better. Although it may just be that they speak the same way, my friend actually has twin brothers and so I spend a lot of time...
• Commented on I'm posting this because everyone else did, Ch. 13 Social Psychology
  I like your title, it really tied in with what the post was about! So often I have seen people act a different way than what they normally do to fit in with what everyone else is doing. Like you...
• Commented on Chapter 12: Stress, Coping, and Health
  I think when dealing with stress it is important to remember that everyone has stress in their life to a certain degree. Along with that, everyone handles stress differently. To your last sentence, I feel like a lot of people...
• Commented on Nature vs. Nurture: Homosexuality
  I agree to a certain extent that homosexuality is genetic. Just from my own experiences and looking at how some of my gay friends were brought up, I haven't seen anything similar their parents have really done. Although there is...
• Commented on Personality
  I thought learning about personalities and the Big 5 was also interesting. Also with the projection tests. I hadn't realized before this course that tests like that can expose so much about a person. Even though there are five main...
• Posted In 5 years.. to PSY 1001 section 06-07 Spring 2012
  The concept from Psychology that I will probably remember the most in five years is how the mind perceives certain things. Optical illusions have always been an interest to me, and after this class now I know why our minds...

  In our psychology book, it is stated that bulimia nervosa affects 1-35 of the nation, whereas anorexia nervosa affects about 0.5-1% of the population. Reading this surprised me because I had always that anorexia was much more common. One of...
