• Commented on Were you ever spanked as a kid?
  Very interesting! I don't think I could ever spank my child... well I hope not, and I think thats because I have never been spanked. I agree that now days spanking can cause "psychological effects" because its almost taboo now,...
• Commented on All about is Facial Expression
  This is interesting! I always think I can read people and how they are feeling by their facial expressions. I also wonder if facial expressions are learned, or if they are something we genetically know how to do. Interesting blog!...
• Commented on Video Game Causes Boy to Shoot his Parents
  I think this could go hand in hand with the different types of parenting. I've played violent video games with my dad, and even though my mom didn't approve I didn't feel the need to shoot her. It sounds like...

• Posted Tiny Human, Big Brain. to Psy 1001 section 22 Spring 2012
  Everyone thinks their sibling, cousin, or child is the cutest and smartest baby, but really I think my 3 year old cousin is the smartest AND the cutest. In Chapter 10, you can read about Piaget's Stages of Development: Sensorimotor,...
• Commented on Would you fall in love with the same person after erasing all your memories?
  Never heard of the movie, and although I hate romance I am really tempted to see it! Its an interesting idea, but I don't really know if I could erase all the memories, and even if I had an operation...
• Commented on Animal language
  So cute! This immediately reminded me of my mom. She always talks to our dog, and I just give her an eye roll because its so silly. I don't know if animals have their own "language", but they use other...
• Commented on The Chinese Effect and the Importance of Being Multilingual
  Good post! I always wonder how much of the language you need to know to be considered bilingual. People always tell me that I'm so lucky I know how to speak Japanese, but I feel like I don't know as...
• Commented on Option 1 or Option 2? Your Brain Already Made the Decision for You
  I wish my brain would decide more quickly for me, because I am always so indecisive. I totally agree with the idea that our brain chooses first because of past experiences. Someone should make exercises for your brain to help...
• Commented on Do You Hear What I Hear?
  So cool! Good topic. My boyfriend and i just spent the last five minutes on a different site testing what we could hear. It definitely works, he's 28 and he couldn't hear a few of the tones that I could....

• Commented on Sexuality: Nature vs. Nurture
  Very interesting. Going to a performing arts high school there were a lot of "non-traditional" sexualities, as you can imagine. Specifically talking about dance, I always wondered how some of the dance guys could be heterosexual, and others homosexual. I...
• Commented on Altoids?
  I think nature matters if the nurture is lacking. I remember watching this episode during psych in high school. Sooo funny! It makes me want to try something like this on someone!...
• Commented on Who Are You?
  This is so cool! People who have the patience to look at a persons handwriting so closely and decipher their personality traits are quite amazing! I remember in junior high when I would always try to change up my writing...
• Commented on Same meaning-Different words
  I also find this interesting. Being bilingual its always interesting to notice shared words among different languages, or the similarities between words even if they don't mean the same thing. Great Blog!...
• Commented on Baby 'Little Albert' Experiment - How Unethical!
  Interesting! Researchers have to be careful of how they conduct the experiments. But I guess in the end, as long they provide all the information about the experiment and its possible side effects, its ultimately up to the participant as...

  Good topic! the feeling of Deja Vu is always so weird! I don't necessarily agree with the explanation of it happening from another life, I lean more towards the scientific explanation of it. Good job on your blog, it makes...

  Dreams are really interesting to me. I always used to lucid dream, and it was always the same dream: I would be sitting in class really sleepy then realize I was actually dreaming so I could fall asleep and not...

  This is very interesting, and kinda scary! I know I eat a lot of meat, but this makes me want to cut down a bit. Even though your blog looked long I'm glad I read it, it was very informational....
