• Posted What I'll remember about the chapter on memory to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  Over all, there has been so many things in psy 1001 that I have found interesting or looking up for more information, but I think what I will remember 5 years from now is from chapter 7. Having a broader...
• Commented on six F.R.I.E.N.D.S and the big five
  First of all, I love this show and the fact that you have specific events/episodes to support your personality analysis on each character. I agree with the above comment that the variety in Big 5 traits really sets the stage...
• Commented on Stupid Diets
  I wrote a blog entry earlier this semester about crazy fad diets and the effects pseudo science has on some aspects of society, but this by far is the most ridiculous ad for weight loss program that I have seen...
• Commented on The Body [R]evolution
  "No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted." What a powerful message. Everyone knows that the images in magazines, commercials, and other advertisements are cleaned up with photo shop, but I guess I did not realize exactly cleaned up these...
• Commented on Peek-a-boo, I see you!
  The book chapters and lectures on child development have been the most interesting to me so far. I agree, it is fascinating to think that all these changes and cognitive abilities develop in such a short period of time. I...
• Commented on Give me food and water
  It is important to remember that relationships and people can change over time. It is also important to remember that the attachment can be influenced by many other factors, as is the case with people that are not close to...
• Commented on What do cats and babies have in common?
  I am so glad I read this post! I too thought of some of these questions during the lectures about all thoughts stemming from language. I have wondered so many times what my cat does all day while I am...
• Posted The Dilemma with Kohlberg's Moral Dilemma to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  While reviewing the basis of Lawrence Kohlberg's idea of reasoning processes, I found it pretty interesting how he scored his subjects. There was no "right" or "wrong" answer to his questions, instead he looked at how a person came...
• Commented on Rushing Into Things
  While reading this post, the question that came to my mind was "Can't be that hard, can it?" The reason I say this, is because even though there are different problem solving and decision making strategies for different regions, with...
• Commented on Pike's Peak- a conditioned stimulus
  I agree, it has become much easier to identify the tricks that advertisers are using to get our attention in remembering their product as we are deciding what we are going to spend our hard earned money on. I also...
• Commented on Wanna Join(t) Me?
  I think it is important that you mentioned not only the affects of the drugs on the user, but the affects of drugs on the user's family and friends as well. So many times when people talk about drugs and...
• Commented on Connection or Disconnect : Autism and Siblings
  Growing up I had a close friend with a brother that had autism. The comment above is exactly correct in thinking that because of the difficulties in communicating through language, the emotional and physical connection formed between siblings when one...
• Commented on Why is she so attractive? It's called Photoshop......
  Was I the only one that couldn't watch the youtube link? It said something about the content being blocked for copyright? Anyways, while reading the chapter, I found the portion on the halo effect quite interesting, not only because I...
• Commented on Mosquito Ringtone
  I think the whole concept behind the Teen Buzz is in itself, quite interesting. Would you think that people would already start to lose some of their hearing abilities at the young age of 25? It would be interesting to...
• Commented on ESP: Proven by science!
  As I was reading this article, I was surprised at just how vague this anonymous author could be while explaining something that seemed so comprehensive. Being "entangled" and having connectedness with particles to form ESP in a matter of 8...
• Posted Miracle Diets Require..... Miracles? Blog #2 to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  It is hard to imagine that a person can lose ten pounds in two days by only consuming 400 calories a day. I know I have been sick before, having not eaten anything for two days, and I can assure...
• Posted Emotion and Motivation Chp. 11 Blog #1 to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012
  Being a student athlete here at the University of Minnesota, the chapter that caught my eye the most was chapter 11: Emotion and Motivation. Before skimming, I was under the assumption that this would be interesting to me because it...
