  • Commented on Pet Training and Me
    I agree, this is exactly what I like about psychology. I couldn't care less about the technical stuff, but the practical applicable lessons are simply amazing. Whether it's learning to provide consistent stimuli when training a dog or interacting with...
  • Commented on In all Honesty
    I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this post, simply because it sums up so many of my own thoughts and feelings. In the big scope of things, you aren't going to remember the Big Five of Personality or any other...
  • Commented on Snow Globed World
    You hit on a great point here, one that is at the forefront of a good liberal education. That point is to never stop questioning. Just as others in the past thought that you could literally "fall off the end...
  • Posted Teach or Be Taught to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
    I think the concepts that I will remember most in five years is everything related to teaching and learning. I am currently studying to be a high school teacher, as a result, I will be practicing these teaching concepts daily....
  • Posted The Big Fat Middle Finger to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
    The more I learn about IQ and psychology in general, the less and less respect I have for the testing and for the profession. The whole IQ testing controversy stems from one simple idea: Humans are gods and can (certainly...
  • Commented on Doctor I need two CCs of touching!
    It seems that it has been well established that human contact trumps food, especially in the United States in an affluent society. Sure we still respond to food (we all gotta eat!) but the human touch seems to have supplanted...

  • Commented on Can you help me solve this problem?
    That's interesting, I had no idea there has been studies done on the whole math equation conundrum. I've found that through personal experience if I get stuck, many times just stepping back and taking a break will help me figure...
  • Commented on Parlez-vous français? O Español? O Italiano? Oder Deutsch?
    The observation of Broca's Area is quite interesting. It seems to be logical for a connection between multiple languages and a unique Broca's Area. Something I would like to point out is the plasticity of the brain, especially at a...
  • Commented on Mariah Carey is my Biological Mother!
    I think that as human beings we are constantly searching for that nurturing and caring nature from someone else, whether is be a parent early in life or a significant other or spouse later in life. Obviously Mariah Carey was...
  • Posted Needing and Getting to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
    Ok so the following is not an explicit advertisement, but once you watch it I believe you will be easily able to identify what it is. This OK Go song and video was featured in a Super Bowl commercial for...
  • Commented on Sex, Penis, and Vagina
    Well played youn1283. I also had a teacher with a similar tactic in class. However, after a year or two in his class I started to notice that some students started to become immune to these stimuli; they started ignoring...
  • Commented on A Possible Dangerous Influence
    This seems to be a fairly popular viewpoint, but it is crazy to assume that Group Think has no bearing on a persons life. Everywhere from classes, to formal meetings, to informal social interaction we are constantly being influenced by...
  • Commented on Bigfoot, UFOS, Ghosts, and God?
    It does seem to boggle the mind that we have yet to find Bigfoot if it's running around in North American forests. seisx002 you bring up a good point, Bigfoot hunters are in a unique positions. It COULD be found...
  • Commented on Football, Worth it or not?
    Looking at the facts laid out, concussions are a serious issue. I agree, the NFL and other professional sport leagues have taken action to limit the ability of players to play with concussions, but this is a new medical diagnosis...
  • Posted Smart Phone in My Head to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
    If you're like me, when you hear the word "multitasking", you probably think of the awesomeness that modern day smart phones have brought. Talking AND surfing the web? Genius!! I think everyone is concerned with multitasking, if you can...
