Learning

What is learning? Learning is all based on life experiences and somewhat how you grew up. Some people think that they can only learn a certain way (visual, hands-on) but that is actually a myth. Learning can happen at any place at any time. Even from me writing this blog post, I am learning what to write by the things that I am studying for this. With the experiments with animals and to get them to do things a certain way they will put them in certain situations to make them learn. When a mouse is put into a maze and their is a piece of cheese at the end of it, the mouse will eventually find the end but the next time they do the maze they will of had it memorized so that they can get the piece of cheese faster.

    Wow. Learning is truly everywhere. I'm glad you took the technique in learning psychology of insight learning, and how we as people and animals learn individually overtime, slowly improving ourselves and becoming more focused on what we are doing. You can see this idea of learning psychology throughout all time, as cave men learned to write and communicate and hunt, as well as scientist realized how to make the light bulb or fly airplanes in the sky! There really is no limit to learning psychology, as it defines our existence and everything we are and will become, from how we act and what we experience. Great blog post! One of my favorites!

    It was interesting to me to learn the theory of learning styles is a myth. I thought there were specific ways for everyone to learn. I believe that we can learn a lot just from being around people and having different experiences. Sometimes, the experiences we have can teach us more than what we can learn in the classroom.

    I really enjoyed this chapter the most. I never really thought much about learning until we started going over it. I know I have learned a lot of things from experiences of my own, and I think those are some of the most important things to learn in life. Good blog post I enjoyed reading it!

    You and I both have the same perspective of learning, learning is a universal and very dimensional concept that can be done numerous ways. I prefer hands on the most because I am typically a slow learner and do not enjoy lecture type of learning if it is a subject I am not comfortable with. .

About my Interest in Psychology

One branch of psychology that really interest me is Abnormal Psychology. This study interest me because I have many family members and friends that deal with a lot of the topics that they help people with and I think it would be really amazing to really understand how these people are feeling and why they are feeling that way. This area of psychology mainly focus on eating disorders, depression, phobias, schizophrenia, and antisocial personality disorder. A doctorates degree is required for this psychology field and that takes about four to seven years of school. To become an Abnormal Psychologist you have to have passion for discovery, learning and listening to be successful with your clients and to provide clinical services. One job a person could have with this branch is being a clinical social worker and working in a clinical setting. Some famous people in this area of psychology are Pythagoras and she was one of the first people to see the brain as a structure involved in human in...

M4 Task

I chose to do the second option for this post. The one where you say a list to someone and then you as them to write down the words that they heard to see what they remembered. With this option I used my mother to help me with this. I read the first list out loud to her and she wrote down the words that she remembered. Then I did the same with the second list that was a little longer. She has an awful memory so her lists were a bit short but I actually asked her if she wrote down or remembered me saying some words that actually weren't on the list and she said yes. Why did she do this? This is based off of a "false memory". Why do you thing our brains actually do this to us? When I showed her the list that I called out to her she was shocked to see that those words she swore she heard wasn't actually on there she was very confused. It was hard for me to explain to her "false memory" because she's a little stubborn but I finally got it into her head that ...
