  I thought about it too. Though its also a long way down the road for me as well I hope that I can remember a few of the things about learning and development so that I can raise my children...
• Commented on Biology of Sleeping, Eating and Exercising
  This post was awesome! I'm glad you decided to touch on my three favorite things in life (mainly sleeping). All three topics are vital to humans and a delicate balance is required. To maintain a healthily lifestyle we must be...
• Commented on Body Language
  I agree! Body language is cool stuff. You do not notice how much you pay attention to it until you learn more. I found myself analyzing my friends and teachers body language for a week trying to pick up new...
• Commented on Freaky Freakonomics (older post, but posted it wrong earlier)
  I have read some of Freakonomics as well, its really an interesting approach to the subject. Taking an economics class you see many examples of it in the real world but the book is way different, making you think about...
• Posted A Timeless War to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  When I think about what I have learned this whole semester in psychology many things come to mind. Over time I'm most likely going to forget about classical conditioning, the representative heuristic, and probably Freud's stages of development but one...
• Posted Middle is First to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  When exploring studies and findings on birth order, I was intrigued on how well it reflected people I know. Psychologists and others have found some common characteristics and traits that go with each birth position. First borns tend to...
• Commented on Sport's Psychology
  Very interesting post. I find it weird that adrenaline is not useful in these situations, I would think that the extra energy would be helpful but I guess it must have its downsides. Preparation must be different for each sport,...
• Commented on Out-of-Body Experiences and The Ghost Behind You
  Wow that's really cool! It really makes you wonder if things like out of body experiences and weird feelings are supernatural or just psychological. Seems like the evidence points to science right now....
• Commented on The Mystery of Alzheimer's Disease
  Thanks for the information I already knew from the book! It would be nice to see some opinion or original thought, like I say that we need to focus more research on Alzheimer's in order to learn more about how...
• Commented on Alzheimers.
  Yes I have seen the new Planet of the Apes, it was great! Although the technology is not real it was a great way to beat the disease. Alzheimers makes for a good storyline which is why it is used...
• Posted Oh Na Na, Whats My Name? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  If any of you are familiar with the epic trilogy of the hero Jason Bourne you know that most of the violence and destruction is a result of Jason not knowing who the heck he is. The movies portray Jason...
• Commented on I didn't choose to eat that, I swear
  I was also very intrigued when I heard these debates against free will. I think the fact that the brain signals seconds before a decision doesn't mean that we are acting against our will, it just gives insights to our...
• Commented on Ethical Issues in Research
  Good stuff mate, its funny that as humans we have all the power in the animal world, we can use animals as much as we want. But just because we are capable of using all these animals doesn't mean we...
• Commented on Chapter 11: Emotion and Motivation
  Sounds like a very interesting chapter. Emotions are cool because they are so unique to humans and there is still so much to learn about them. Our emotions make us special and define who we are, their importance is overwhelming....
• Commented on Crazy Stairs Are Crazy
  These pictures are so cool! I wish we could see them without the illusion but our brains are so incredible that they just fill in information automatically. If only we could experience the Inception world where impossible figures are possible...only...
• Commented on Correlation versus Causation: Social Networking and Personal Confidence
  Great article! With all the social networking just in its infancy it will be interesting to see how our relationships turn out compared to those who lived without an internet social life....
• Commented on Chapter Three: Biological Psychology
  This post was very helpful and insightful toward this chapter. It has made me quite excited to get to this section (not that I wasn't before). As you said the brain is incredible and there is so much to be...
• Posted "I'm Schizophrenic, And I am Too" to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  A very common misconception in the psychological world is the belief that schizophrenia causes the victim to have multiple personalities, where it is truly an experience of delusions and hallucinations. This is just one example of many incorrect ideas...
