• Commented on Conforming
  I also thought this topic was interesting. I also would like to think that I wouldn't conform, but realistically if I was in a room with a bunch of people I didn't know, I would probably conform. I do not...
• Commented on O.C.E.A.N.
  I also thought that OCEAN was very interesting. Also like you I thought it was weird how accurate the personality test was. It was kind of crazy and when comparing with my friend we agreed with the differences in our...
• Posted Is what you see, what you get? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  One topic that I will remember in five years from now is classical conditioning. I thought it was interesting that we are trained with different stimuli to get different responses. I have been noticing more than ever about advertising and...
• Commented on Relationships: how we meet our better half
  I never really got in to the bachelor or bachelorette shows. I had nothing against them, it just seemed kind of lame to be. I think I heard only one or two relationships actually worked out in the long run....
• Commented on Asian Parents are STRICT!
  I think this post is very interesting. I have some Asian friends and their parents are the same as yours. Their parents are very strict and make sure they know everything. I would say that my parents are authoritative. They...
• Posted Are First Born Kids The Best? to Psychology 1001 Sections 10-11 Spring 2012
  I have done some research and found many interesting things about birth order and only children. For only children it says the child is pampered and spoiled, the center of attention and self-centered. I have known some kids that...
• Commented on Hunger Games
  This title caught my eye so I read it. This is a more real hunger game. I really found the article interesting and I think most people know that these diets don't work as a life choice, but they read...
• Commented on Say What?
  I also agree that this post is true. Just the other day I was texting a friend and he said something kinda dramatic and I thought he was sarcastic and it turned out he was serious. Not being able to...
• Commented on YOLO: You only learn once
  I thought this was an interesting post. I think the study is interesting but not very formal. I think there are variables that could alter results such as if the kid is starving they will probably eat the cookie right...
• Commented on The Mystery of Alzheimer's Disease
  I also did my blog on Alzheimer's Disease and I agree with what you said that there is no treatment, but there are ways to manage symptoms. I really hope one day that research finds treatment and a "cure" for...
• Commented on Do you know what is Alzheimer Disease?
  It is really scary to think that millions of people have Alzheimer's disease and that even more people have to watch their loved one go through it. It is a scary thing to think about it and most likely everyone...
• Commented on Alzheimer's: The Dementia Enigma
  I also did my blog on Alzheimer's disease and agree with you that there is no cure yet. However, my research found that there are ways to prevent it all together like you said with becoming mentally active and eating...

  Alzheimer's disease is a neurologic disease of the brain. It causes the brain to lose neurons and intellectual abilities including memory and reasoning. It is the most common form of dementia and gets worse as it develops. During the...
• Commented on The Truth About Autism
  I do not know a whole lot about autism but I wonder why there is such a rise in it? It seems like it is a somewhat current topic and I wonder why there hasn't been a "cure" yet. Obviously...
• Commented on Could a Strict Diet Ease (or possibly cure) Autism?
  I have never heard of dieting affecting or curing Autism. I would be very interested in more research showing how this would make a difference. I would also like to know what would happen if kids without autism would act...
• Commented on Out-of-Body Experiences and The Ghost Behind You
  I thought this post was interesting. I did not know that there was a part of our brain that was part of the creepy feeling. From now on, I hope that every time I feel like someone is behind me...
• Commented on Baseball Superstion: real or fiction?
  I agree with your blog that even if superstitions aren't "real," it does make people more comfortable. When I go to sporting events and the team wins, I wear the same jersey to the next game. If the team loses,...
• Commented on Injuries in Sports
  I agree that it is surprising that riding a bike is the third highest sport that causes injuries, but if you think about it I wonder if the data includes kids getting hit by cars. If it does, then it...
• Commented on R.I.P. - My lifelong belief in "The Hot Hand"
  I also believed in "the hot hand" or someone being in the zone. You made a good point that people remember when someone is doing really well or failing miserably, but we don't remember when they make a few shots...

  The picture at the end caught my attention for your blog so I read it. I thought the blog did a great job actually explaining what psychology is. I was still confused what it actually was after the first couple...

  I thought this post was fun and kept my attention the whole time. You actually made me pretty excited for this chapter! I thought it was really interesting that over 70% of 100 billion neurons die. Because they die, it...

  I think this chapter will be interesting finding out about memory. I also thought the experiment with the cards with letters on them was interesting how people would recall some of the letters but never all of them. I thought...
• Commented on Chapter 11: Emotions
  I thought this post was really interesting. I thought the theories the scientist had on emotions was interesting saying that some scientists believes that humans feel emotions as reactions that we don't control so much but that they happen subconsciously....
